Landing on Water is the 16th studio album by Neil Young. The album was released on July 21, 1986, by Geffen Records.
The album represents a return to a contemporary rock sound after the 1985 country album Old Ways and 1983 doo wop album Everybody's Rockin'. Young's record company, Geffen famously had sued the artist for creating albums unrepresentative of his familiar style. For Landing on Water, Young employed producer Danny Kortchmar, engineer Niko Bolas and studio drummer Steve Jordan. The album is noted for its unique production and synthetic 1980s sound with prominent drums, synclavier and synthesizers, giving it a "claustrophobic" feel. According to Young in a 2009 interview, "one record company president in Europe told me it was the most claustrophobic record he had ever heard, and I thought that was pretty cool. He put it on in his Porsche and would turn it up real loud. He just felt like it was all over him."[1]
