See if you can pick up his score for "Monster" -- it includes a stereo mix and a DTS disc which was his first 5.1 surround release. Great music, and with that guitar and synth mix that I love so.
Monster really is an amazing album, production & music. The DTS disc is so submersive, you could spend all week trying to figure out the mixing scheme. BT's latest album is "This Binary Universe". It has a DVD with DTS mix included. Whether you like his style of composing or not, it only takes a couple of minutes to appreciate how much time and dedication someone can put into their music. If attention to detail makes for good production, this is about as good as it gets (at least for electronic soundscape albums). Just my two cents.

She could write songs forever about cutting off her hair, getting her picture snapped with her exposed crotch plastered all over every internet daily and supermarket tabloid in the world, or having her kids taken away while the whole world watches and hisses at her "bad mothering." Running a stop light makes headline news. "Britney Spears, the BAD MOTHER ran a stop light today with her kids in the car!" Oh dear. I'm glad I've never done THAT before!
She's a better man than me if she can stay sane after all this media crap she either has been through against her will, or that she voluntarily goes through to boost sales. I don't know which it is, really. Gimme, Gimme certainly didn't make it to the top of the charts based on the lyrics. No, people bought it because it was by that girl who cut off her hair. Heck, she's the Van Gogh of her generation. (He cut off his ear, you know.) Maybe she'll start cutting off body parts and sending them to her friends. I guess Madonna could give away old boobs when she gets herself re-treaded. Britney should at least sell her hair, strand at a time.
Anyway, not to digress. The girl should take advantage of her position and commit some real art on her own. Or would that break the spell? What a gas if she actually wrote a song! Instead, we get "Gimme, Gimme," written by a committee. What did they have, 5 people with writing credits on that song? Geez. Man, I can't figure this thing out.

you ever seen that movie she devil? with roseanne barr and meryl streep? meryl was a paperback passion writer. wrote about bullsh•• love stories. anyway, when she got married and those kids moved in a she had to turn into a mom. she started writing about her bad personal life. nobaody gave a ••••. her sales dropped and she was almost dropped from her publisher. i have a feeling it would have the same effect. they are drawn to her shallowness. everybody's lives suck enough. thats's why everybody love pop stars. they dont have real problems. the problems they have are frabicated to keep them edgy and in the tabloids. •••• i wish my only problem was someone seeing my cooch on the intrawebs. she is ridiculous and shallow becuase she loves that life. she could easily pull it together. but who would buy her cd then? let alone the magazines that she is spread(cough) all over.
It's not that people wouldn't be interested in her (Britney's) life, or in anyone else's life. It's about the art of telling the story. In about 1967 Arlo Guthrie wrote a song called "Alice's Restuarant" which isn't about a restaurant at all, nor even about Alice, but about Arlo's arrest for littering and subsequent rejection from the US army draft because of his arrest. Who would write a song about littering? The story he tells is absolutely true, and yet it's just the way he tells it. Once you hear it, you're a fan for life.

FMiguelez, I understand your interest. For instance, I was never a Madonna fan but I remember being fascinated in the 80's with the production values in her work . . . uh . . . I mean, 'the work done by many very talented people and then sung over by Madonna'.
I think the Britney Spears (I was just going to use her initials, but . . ) CD is the same. Where there's big money involved, you get big production chops that are worth checking out.
Since you're interested in these things, I strongly encourage you to thoroughly check out Sgt. Peppers or Magical Mystery tour for a mind-blowing experience. Some (myself included) feel that George Martin's work stands the test of time so well that it hasn't been surpassed.
Bearing in mind they were often using 4 track decks, listen to things like 'Penny Lane' and try to count the instruments (over 30 including 8 different pianos).
