His very close-miked sound still containing a tasteful (i.e. light) amount of reverb is such a recognizable signature...

A true legend, and big coincidence since I discovered yet another of his production a week ago: Zeni Geva's last three LPs. Almost as important as the ubiquitous Dan Swano in my collection:

To actually hear "In Utero" in all its Albini-esque glory, you must find the 2013 20th Anniversary Edition, it's on the 2nd disc.
