Terry Brown

Terry Brown is a British record producer involved in a variety of work. He has been noted for his collaboration with the Canadian rock band Rush. Brown produced every album by the band from Fly by Night up to Signals (1982). He was also involved with the English pop rock band Cutting Crew and the Canadian progressive rock band Klaatu.

Career Brown began his career at Olympic Studios in the mid-1960s, working as one of Keith Grant's tape ops. His first engineering credit was on the Who's single "Substitute". "You Make Me Wonder" made the RPM 100 chart, peaking at No. 60 for the week of 9 January 1971, and the B side, "Nova Scotia Home Blues" peaked at No. 20 on the RPM MOR Playlist chart for the week of 19 December, holding its position until 9 January 1971.

In 1973, Rush utilized Toronto Sound Studios to record portions of their debut studio album, with Brown recording "Finding My Way" and mixing the album. The band continued to work with Brown at Toronto Sound for its next three albums, Fly by Night (1975), Caress of Steel (1975), and 2112 (1976). Other albums recorded at the studio included April Wine's Electric Jewels (1973).

Faced with rising competition, Toronto Sound Studios closed in 1978,

Rush refers to Brown fondly as "Broon" in the liner notes for their albums, and the nickname appears in the title of the instrumental piece "Broon's Bane" from their live album Exit...Stage Left. On this same record, Geddy Lee jokingly introduces the song "Jacob's Ladder" as having been written by "T. C. Broonsie", another reference to Brown and a pun on the name of Big Bill Broonzy.

In the 1990s while working at Metalworks Studios in Toronto, Brown recorded Fates Warning's Parallels and Voivod's Angel Rat, and again worked with Fates Warning on A Pleasant Shade of Gray. He also produced vocals on the Dream Theater album Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, and appears as the uncredited voice of the hypnotherapist on that album.
