Thor 7,495 Posted November 25, 2015 Share 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 2,511 Posted November 25, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 RIP. His recordings did have a lot of analogue warmth but could be easily destroyed by bad mastering. Gruesome Son of a Bitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 26, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
