![]() But, we took our time and we made the album this way and made sure that all five of us completely loved each track.We didn't want any fillers and that's why the album took so long. "I have a good feeling about the whole album, which is rare to be honest as I'm usually very critical afterwards. You can feel it in the bones of the tracks, even if at first it just sounds like a Phoenix album."ĭo you have anything you would change about the new album now? I think you can feel this diversity of writing on the new album. So, I told the boys to please stop only writing music with the guitar and try and use synths, piano, samplers and other instruments to write with. "What I loved about the first album was the diversity of styles and sounds. So when I was working with Phoenix I took the first three albums and listened really hard to try and find what were the positives and negatives with the previous albums. "If you are a Pop band with guitars, drums, bass and singing, it can be very difficult to make a record sound different because this arrangement has been like this since the sixties or something.

We bought it with the SSL and actually bought another SSL and between the two we made one good mixing desk. But, because I bought it I was completely broke for five years so I couldn't fix it up or refurbish it or set up all the gear that I wanted to put in it. ![]() "I got together every kind of money that I had and I bought it in 2000. "I think we obtained the sound of now, by mixing the '80s sound of the desk with the Massenburg '90s sound and the Neve '60s sound." I loved the place and couldn't believe that he wanted to sell it because it was designed by Tom Hindley,who designed the room at Eastlake studios and he shipped all the wood and stone over from America.I really felt that this was a really special place and I loved the fact that it was just one room.I hate studios with ten rooms where you keep running into people all the time." Later the owner contacted me and told me he was thinking about selling the property. "Actually,we mixed the first Cassius album in this room, but it wasn't my studio then. So you didn't do any of the Cassius albums here?
