U2 don’t forget though DM and Erasure are my favorites

Everything this man touched became timeless. He is the unsung hero of so many great albums!

Here I am 10 years later and still really enjoying this interview. And I stand by the thought that Flood is probably the best producer ever!

To Bring You My Love, The Downward Spiral...

Flood is too humble. He didn't mention that one of the albums he was in the background during assisting as a "runner/teaboy" was Three Imaginary Boys... The Cure's debut album. He's thanked in the credits for that album and as well as the follow up, Seventeen Seconds. Quite a noteworthy start.

Yikes.....slightly. Thanks for the history. Relisteing to DM's Songs of F & D... phenominal

Flood is a true genius. His work with Depeche Mode, U2, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins and others stands as some of the greatest and most timeless music of the 80s and 90s... what i love is that he seemed to bring out the real personality of the band and push them on a songwriting and arrangement level to be darker and less predictable. He is something of a chameleon - just look at the difference between the two Depeche Mode albums he produced - Violator which is immaculately clean and crisp, and Songs of Faith and Devotion which is messy, fuzzy, and dense. And then to go off and do Zooropa, Downward Spiral, and Mellon Collie.... just unreal.

Legend,one of the best producers and engineers of all time:Violator,Achtung Baby,Songs of Faith..,How to Dismantle ...,Pop,Zooropa,The Killers - Sam's Town,Nick Cave,PJ Harvey,New Order,Nine Inch Nails...

mellon collie and the infinite sadness.... sigur ros, pj harvey, nick cave, the jesus and the mary chain... he's a master!

guys a living legend! if u have produced Violator -Depeche Mode....u r a genius.

Wow , loved that interview. Seemed like flood was on every album I bought back in the day .

Flood is the best in the business. Trent Reznor who is an amazing talent himself, knows how to surround himself with the best people.

As Bill Gates, who's no idiot once said, "Always hire people better than you".

Flood seems like a calm master of peace and diplomacy. No wonder he’s a great producer.

I love his work on This Is War by 30 Seconds To Mars. One of my favorite albums ever!

Genius engineer.

One of unsung heroes of rock music

Really great interview , thanks for posting this

The best produced album of all time - Depeche mode Violator

Great interview.. This man and Mr Gareth Jones are Gods as far as I'm concerned

A true gold ticket producer...love him

Violator/Songs Of Faith And Devotion Alan Wilder/Flood

The work he did with Alan MOULDER on those Curve records needs more attention!

Indeed!

Great interview. I was at Mute Short Circuit and attended Flood's talk, it was fantastic.

Met him on the stage just after he performed with Node in 1994 at Derby. Really nice amiable chap, he told us to feel free if we wanted to help with the gear (I wanted to see some of the classic instruments close up) but we had to get off the stage because of a grumpy roady who said we were in the way.

Thats why I love everything he's produced or even had his hands on!!!

Flood makes it sound like he worked with U2 for the first time on Achtung Baby. He had already worked with them on The Joshua Tree

"Just Commit" - wise words.

Wow, the technology has changed so much since this interview. If Flood's of the same mind today, then the tech's left him in the rearview...

This gentleman Produced my cousins band, Interpol.

He produced some of mu favorite records and, before today,i didn't even know how he looked like

Very talented and unassuming chap

Some great questions from Nick

Flood = BRILLIANT!

Revis...."Places For Breathing"......Incredible mix!

I would trade my BA and MA for 2 years learning how to produce from him.

Living legend

Only 4 or 5 seminal albums?? You're too modest Flood

wow, what a legend

The Joshua Tree U2 was Flood also...not bad either :)

from beginning

The best part of using out of date tech: you HAVE to “commit”

Truth is golden always

Some of my favorite acts he's produced like nitzer ebb, Renegade Soundwave, and pop will eat itself. all classics on mute!🎹🎸🎧💫😵👌😎👍

The Master.

nice!

Torment and Toreros Marc and the Mambas

Nick forgot to ask him about pulsewidth modulation...

Genius

THE flood? cool

I didn't realise he was British.

Watched this and the Gareth Jones interview... the interviewer really goes out of his way to avoid saying "Depeche Mode", doesn't he?

he looks so young! well, 2011.. hm

genius

He might literally have a Midas Touch

seems like a real sound bloke

Martin Gore would lough any day

I thought I spoke and understood English language. But I don't understand almost anything in this interview 🤥

Flood may have the most nasal voice I've ever heard.

Alan Wilder and Flood were very obviously a team. His influence on those two albums was significant; there is no question about that.

He's a legend... but his nasal voice is annoying!
