Lippo is one of my absolute favourite and most inspirational producers. More so than Horn or any other. I've learned more by listening to him than any other producer.

Liked his work on McCartney's Flowers on the Dirt alongside Trevor Horn and others. That was 36 years ago - how does Stephen Lipson look so young!
Hans Zimmer - soundtrack to Green Card. A beautiful soundtrack that never got much attention for some reason.
