He famously refused royalties for In Utero, and he duly kept his prices low throughout his career: in 2023, his day rate was $900 plus tape costs and studio hire. He was willing to travel, but he largely worked from Electrical Audio, the analogue recording studio that he established in Chicago in 1997. Anyone could book a session with Albini, no demos required, so any band or artist with the budget could access the same recording expertise as Nirvana. In the same year that he oversaw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant’s post-Led Zeppelin comeback album, he also cut records with little-known Irish punk bands and underground performance artist Vaginal Davis.
He may have liked a lot of the music he worked on, but an Albini credit wasn’t a co-sign or a status symbol like so many celebrity producers today. He was a gun-for-hire, but he was pretty much the best gun a few thousand bucks could buy. He was blunt and straightforward in the studio, committed to making every client he worked with make the best possible record, which meant the most true record; embracing their limitations and leaving accidents on the tape. His records are characterful, unfussy and real. He never called himself a ‘producer’, instead preferring the more practical ‘engineer’. He was a mirror that talked back; a documentarian gently guiding the action. More than anything, he was a facilitator.
Steve Albini, the Facilitator
Steve Albini, who has died aged 61, was one of the most uncompromising figures to ever defend art against its corruption by market forces, and for musicians to be considered as workers who deserved the full fruits of their labour.tribunemag.co.uk

Haven't been that gobsmacked by an amphibian since Groupie_smuggled Black Rain frogs into the country to replace the Dungeon's long suffering gerbils...
