"Tim" Machine - My Time With Tin Machine And Other Stories - In Conversation With English Record Producer And Audio Engineer Tim Palmer

Published: August 29, 2026
It is sometimes underrated how much does a producer and/or an engineer contribute to add value to successful records reaching global success. The three decades between the 80's and the 00's, especially, would have not been the same without the vital work of producers and engineers like Rick Rubin, Trevor Horn, Daniel Lanois, Mutt Lange, Flood, Bob Clearmountain and the list could go on and on.
 
Among this illustrious list of producers and engineers that have done so much invaluable ground work for the music industry, sits very deservedly the British record producer and engineer Tim Palmer. In a four-decades plus of career span, Palmer has worked and still does with the cream of the music industry, with an all-star list of artists he has worked with so far which includes Pearl Jam, Robert Plant, U2, Tin Machine, Tears For Fears, Ozzy Osbourne, The Psychedelic Furs, House Of Love, Porcupine Tree, Goo Goo Dolls, The Cure and many more.

The Rising - In Conversation With American Blues/Rock Titan Ryan McGarvey

It's often incredible to believe how much healing power an artform like music has. It provides determination, willpower, comfort and shelter to those individuals going through severe health problems of any thinkable nature even in the hardest of times, helping them so much on a conscious and unconscious level.
 
For a musician, especially, to get music taken away from them against their will, when health problems arise, is a massive blow, as one would expect. But someone like Ryan McGarvey, one of the most talented and loved Blues/Rock guitarists and singer/songwriters of this generation, he did not let health adversities to take music away from him and kept on fighting for almost seven years until regaining again, thankfully, full use of half of his body, allowing the American ace guitarist to start playing again and, most importantly, starting working on writing and recording new material from his own base camp in Albuquerque.

From Witton Gilbert To Andromeda Heights: In Conversation With Prefab Sprout's Martin McAloon

There's no doubt that the 80's, as a decade, has been a very prolific one, musically speaking, in terms of revealing an incredible amount of talented Pop artists to the world.

It's also true that some of them might have been a one hit wonder only or not lasting very long for reasons, perhaps, related to either creativity drainage, or simply because they had not been able to move forward, stylistically and lyrically in the next decades.

The Invincibles - In Conversation With KillerStar's Robert Fleming & James Sedge

Music, as many other artforms, requests an enormous passion, commitment and love from those who make it and the story of a British band formed in 2024 called KillerStar, it certainly contains all those elements in their most heartfelt forms.

Guitarist, singer-songwriter and keyboardist Robert Fleming and drummer James Sedge, both bonded by a long-term friendship and musical camaraderie, decided to join forces, back in 2023, in a new project called KillerStar, a project that would incorporate their passion for Rock with different layers of sound. Fate made possible that one of their friends, the talented singer Emm Gryner, someone who had worked with the late great David Bowie in 2000, introduced to Fleming and Sedge a huge array of first class American musicians that worked with Bowie too through various decades, like Earl Slick, Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Gail Ann Dorsey and many more.
