Mills has had two faces as a producer since the early 90s. A lot of the material on Atlantis, and the underrated "ambient" b-sides on Axis sound like a prelude to the Every Dog Has Its Day records. The interviews when the records came out indicated he spent 5 years working on them (if I recall). I think the result was a move from tracks to songs (both of which have their place). I love both sides of what he does. Sometimes I think one mark of a good producer is being able to generate a wide array of reactions to their music, creating divisive camps of fans, reflecting their distinct tastes. If that standard has any value, then Every Dog Has Its Day marked a leap in Mills' artistry.
