The new Bond theme ‘Skyfall’, produced and co-written by long time producer Paul Epworth and performed by Grammy award winner Adele was engineered by our very own Matt Wiggins. The track which went to number one in the iTunes chart within 10 hours of being released oozes ‘Bond’, with big strings, big vocals and drama. The film which premiered last night is said to be the best bond film yet and we reckon the theme tune is worthy of that review as well.

The hotly tipped Jake Bugg debut album has shot into number 1 in the album midweeks. Produced and mixed by Mike Crossey (Gotham Producers) at Motor Museum, Liverpool. Mike’s previous work includes the Artic Monkeys, Tribes, Foals and more recently Ben Howard. The album was also mastered at our mastering studio 24-96 by Robin Schmidt, previously mastering for Emeli Sandé, Mumford and Sons and The Black Keys to name but a few.
18-year-old Jake was born and raised in Clifton, and though too young to remember in full the attack of Brit pop in the 90’s is clearly heavily influenced by the likes of Oasis, the La’s and hints of lyrical genius not dissimilar to The Libertines. Taking the album away from the stereotype of larger drinking that, Brit pop so often has, Jake works through his tracks with an element of 60’s class, mirroring the likes of Dylan and Donovan. Its hard to believe listening through all the trials and tribulations in the album that this wasn’t written by a man in his eighties, let alone a boy who has barely left school.

Mixed for the major part in our Studios, with mixers Such as Dan Grech and Charlie Hugall (Gotham Producers) in The Engine Room and Assault & Battery 2 and Craig Silvey in The Garden.

The newly released fourth album ‘Battle Born’, from The Killers had three tracks mixed by Alan Moulder at our Assault and Battery studio. The title track ‘Battle Born’, ‘Runaways’ and ‘A Matter Of Time’.
The album explores love, families and broken homes all tied together with big choruses and uplifting ‘Killers’ sing a long anthems, making the album seem a lot less bleak than the themes would suggest. This time round the sound takes Brandon’s previous label as, ‘indie kid floor fillers’ right to the doorstep of arena rock and stadium fillers. That could well be something to do with the U2 influences coming from Steve Lillywhite who part produced the album.

The debut album ‘Like I Used To’ from Lucy Rose was produced in full by Charlie Hugall, previous work; Florence and The Machine, Delilah and Ed Sheeran.
The album is clearly a diary of emotions Lucy went through in what seems a rocky relationship. She expresses herself through her lyrics and gentle folk vocals, accompanied by softly perfect production and simple guitars. Hints of early Laura Marling definitely shine through, which can only be a compliment. Of course, there’s a strong sense of Bombay Bicycle club, but that may just be due to Lucy being used on a number of their tracks before now.
Album best listened too when curled up on a sofa whilst the wet and windy weather continues to soak the UK outside. A definite, relaxing set of melodies.
Album released on the 24th September.

Recorded in part at Angelic Studios and The Pool the second album ‘Babel’ from Mumford And Sons released 24th September.
A natural progression second album, still for the majority dominated by banjos, barn dance melodies and anthems. The album is almost sure to be a nostalgic crowd pleaser at somewhere like Glastonbury 2013.
Here’s a video to their first single from the album, ‘I Will Wait’ :
We can’t wait to witness this live in some muddy British Fields! A large cider in hand, of course!
