Kayak has worked with many producers and sound engineers. Here is an almost but certainly not quite complete list (additions are welcome). Only albums are mentioned. Ton Scherpenzeel and Pim Koopman usually co-produced the albums, and after 2000 they were the only ones. Since Pim’s demise in 2009 Ton Scherpenzeel remained the band’s sole producer, occasionally in collaboration with Irene Linders (Seventeen) and Hans Eijkenaar (Anywhere But Here)
