AS MUCH AS

Hello,
I would like to know the meaning of this sentence:

'That was the first album where I worked with Markus Miller AS MUCH AS I DID.'
I don't understand what refers to this "as much as I did".
As much as I did with Marcus or as much as I did on my career in general?
Thanks

This seems to mean that you have already worked with Markus Miller, but spent more time working with Markus Miller on the album you are talking about than previous albums. It sounds like you are talking about the past and that you spent time working with Markus Miller after this album too, but this album was
