they have incredibly well produced albums because they got the best studio musicians in the country to record, and then had it mastered by a mastering master man
it all sounds very hi-fi and smooth if youre into that

in the 70's two autistic jazzheads made a string of immaculately produced albums

not just immaculately produced but they somehow managed to use incredibly complex chords etc. but it sounds so natural, accessible and not wanky at all. truly one of the best 'bands' ever imho (as one anon said only walter becker and donald fagen were on all tracks, the rest were a series of different super heavy session catz)
also i resent you calling becker/fagen autistic, they were just perfectionists who had very specific ideas of how they wanted their music to sound and would never compromise that

George Michael - Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1
Faith was also clean as fuck.
both are examples of top notch production pre-loudness war.
Also pretty much everything Depeche Mode.

Also check out a jazz band called Flim and the BBs. They were pioneering HiFi recordings in the 80s
Flim and the BB's second album, Tricycle (for DMP Digital Music Products, an independent all-digital audiophile record label started by Tom Jung) was the first non-classical recording to be released in the new Compact Disc format. It was recorded on the new Mitsubishi X-80 digital audio recorder at Sound 80. The disc displayed the full dynamic range available in CDs, becoming a popular test disc for this reason. It was also the first jazz album to be recorded, mastered and delivered completely in the digital domain. The entire recording chain, after the first few feet of microphone cable from the musicians' instruments, remained in the digital domain until it was decoded by the consumer's CD player. DMP's releases were for the most part recorded directly to two-tracks as opposed to the more common multi-track method. This means that there was minimal use of overdubs and the majority of the music was performed, recorded and mixed "live" to the digital recorder.
