Thor 9,314 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 FSM reports that Eric Tomlinson has passed away at age 84 -- the famous recording engineer who worked on so many classic scores, including iconic Williams scores like STAR WARS, SUPERMAN and RAIDERS. I believe he first worked with Williams on FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.He was certainly a familiar name to me in my formative years, as I constantly saw his name on the back of soundtrack albums.
Loert 3,013 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 RIP Eric "Dr. T" Tomlinson. Your work on the Star Wars OT soundtracks was remarkable and really helped bring the best out of Johnny's score.
A24 4,896 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 He was certainly a familiar name to me in my formative years, as I constantly saw his name on the back of soundtrack albums.Same with me. RIP
publicist 4,649 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 RIP. His recordings did have a lot of analogue warmth but could be easily destroyed by bad mastering. Director of Poltergeist 1
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Wonderful engineer. He defined that crisp, analogue sound I long for in recordings.RIP
DreamTheater 131 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 So he's the man responsible for making some of my favorite Williams scores sound the way they do?The way they simply don't anymore. RIP.
Uni 307 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Brilliant recording artist. Another one lost from a passing age. . . .
