Joe Meek
"If anyone knows anything about Joe Meek, it is usually that he was a very eccentric music producer and that he murdered his landlady and then himself at a quite young age."

“Meek achieved huge commercial success in 1962 with his production of “Telstar” which quickly became the best selling instrumental in British pop history. The compression technique mastered by Meek on the record makes it sound like it’s performed by a huge orchestra of children’s toys,”

“But nobody really knew who SOPHIE was. In minimal, early interviews, she proclaimed that the genre of her music was “advertising,” which she admits now, with a small smile, was “a bit snide, because genre is a stupid question anyway.” “
