Epi 141: Elegantly Wasted Recording Engineer Mike Plotnikoff, Part 1
from INXS: Access All Areas Hosted by Bee & Haydn
The guests keep coming, with Bee and me proud to welcome legendary recording engineer Mike Plotnikoff to the INXS Access all Areas Podcast. Having paired up in his formative years with famed producer Bruce Fairbairn, he was half of the Canadian duo responsible for some of the biggest-selling records of the 1990s by acts including AC/DC, Aerosmith, and the Cranberries. Come 1997, both Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence reached out to Bruce and Mike, having put together a wealth of strong material and demos via an extended songwriting session in London where Michael had the best and most honest lyrics of his career. In the first of our two-part series, Mike opens up on the recording process of Elegantly Wasted with huge respect for the professionalism, talent levels, and preparation of Andrew and Michael. Feeling Michael’s rock-star aura and swagger, Mike shares great insights into how great INXS were to work with whilst providing never before seen photos of Michael and the band, both in the studio as well as Spain where recording duties extended. This and a whole lot more! So, sit back and remember an important time and place where Michael’s last musical contribution started and lives on today. Love and Peace ✌️ Haydn https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com Check out our fan engagement page to buy a Hot Ticket! Good Luck!
