I didn't want to give him too much credit, by including him right alongside Dashut and Caillat, but I didn't want to write him off completely either.

In essence, it was the coming together of those five people (Thanks, Lindsey!) which created the overall "sound," but I think Olsen helped establish the groundwork for how that sound would be conveyed.

Dashut, Caillat and Buckingham perfected it... and then turned it on its ear, and managed to perfect it even further.
