Production is the second album composed and produced by Mirwais. The album was released through the French independent label Naive Records on April 21, 2000.
Background
Mastering was done at The Exchange, London, by Simon Davey, except "Disco Science", mastered by Nilesh Patel.[1]
Critical reception
According to Metacritic, the album received "generally favorable reviews" with a score of 73/100, based on 11 reviews.[2] NME reviewed the album positively, calling it "the sound of an old punk playing catch-up with dance music."[3] Rob Sheffield, writing for Rolling Stone, concluded "Cerebral, meticulous and frivolous, Production is a disco-science celebration of pop trash that most electronica gurus would be too spiritually elevated to deliver. Mirwais' knack for song puts him in another league altogether."[4] The A.V. Club was not as positive, stating "What could have been a huge breakthrough instead sounds staid, as if he were so used to rocking the house that he didn't want to risk rocking the boat."[5]
Music video
Several music videos were released for Production. "Disco Science" was directed by French photographer/artist Stéphane Sednaoui in 1999 and released the same year.[citation needed]
The second video, for "Naive Song", was directed by the photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino during 2000.[6]
Stéphane Sednaoui directed another video for "I Can't Wait", which was released as the third single.[citation needed]
Mirwais Remixed
In 2008, Naive Records released Mirwais Remixed, a remix album which came included the original album, with all singles remixed by different artists. Remixers include Giorgio Moroder, Joey Negro, Dave Clark, Shakedown, Thin White Duke, Les Rythmes Digitales and Olav Basovsky.
The song was used during a hare coursing scene in the film Snatch.[7]
