Colin Thurston (13 July 1947 – 15 January 2007) was an English recording engineer and producer. Born in Brentford, Middlesex, Thurston played in bands in London before he "bluffed his way" into audio engineering.〔Pierre Perrone (24 January 2007). (Colin Thurston obituary, ''The Independent'' Online )〕 After hooking up with Tony Visconti he co-engineered David Bowie's ''"Heroes"'' and Iggy Pop's ''Lust For Life'' (both 1977); he is also credited with co-producing the latter album with Bowie and Pop, under the collective pseudonym "Bewlay Bros".〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': pp.383-384〕 Thurston's debut as a solo producer was Magazine's second album ''Secondhand Daylight'' (1979). He later recalled, "I think they were a bit nervous and so I didn't tell them it was my first production".〔Dave Simpson (March 4, 1995). "Secondhand Daylight" retrospective, from a special ''Melody Maker'' insert cited on (shotbybothsides.com fansite )〕 The same year, he produced The Human League's first album, ''Reproduction'' and their single "I Don't Depend on You". His lesser-known productions around this time included the single "Move in Rhythm" by Airkraft (1980) on the Square record label, now a collector's piece. He achieved widespread recognition with Duran Duran's debut album (1981) and the follow-up ''Rio'' (1982); bassist John Taylor later described Thurston as "a major catalyst for the Eighties sound".〔 After working with Duran Duran he produced Talk Talk's ''The Party's Over'' (1982), and Kajagoogoo's ''White Feathers'' (1983), the latter with Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes. He also worked with Gary Numan on his 1985 album ''The Fury''. Thurston became an in-house producer for the Canadian independent record label Brouhaha in the late 1980s, working with acts such as Westwon, before the company dissolved. In 1999 he was again associated with Duran Duran for the ''Strange Behaviour'' remix compilation.〔Cashmere, Paul, (January 19, 2007). ("Duran Duran Producer Dies" ), Undercover Media Pty Ltd.〕 He had been suffering from a long illness and doing occasional production work before he died on 15 January 2007. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colin Thurston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
