Sorry folks I made a post about 2 hours ago that was a little harsh. I failed to say what I wanted to and suceeded in saying things that I didn't intend to. Just went back and read it and felt ill LOL.

I've edited it extensively and removed the soup kitchen comments and references to other places.

Sorry if I've offended anyone, even Dave.

You know I preferred this website when Moshulu had a forum and everyone picked on them ROFL.

Something I think is worth adding...

I've heard impressive tracks from Exile, pretty much everything to come out of the Mill sounds good, and the stuff I've heard by the new engineer at Tom's (I think his name is Paul) is also really well done. But I've also heard the recordings that Mark has done - err who hasn't? Most of us have at least one in our collection. Check the engineering and production credits on the back of some of your CDs. Those recordings blow my mind.

For the past 2 years I've been doing the sound in The Moorings. Most people agree that I do a reasonably competetent workman like job. BUT having watched (and listened to) Mark in action these past 6 months, it's apparent that no matter how hard I study, I will NEVER be that good. It's like watching Michael Schumacher drive a race car... no contest.

Every day I buy my lunch at The Earl of Sandwich. They are the best sandwich shop in town IMO. It costs me a fiver. Very occasionally I'll hanker for something a little better and I'll go to Bistro Verdi, The Lairhillock, or Rustico. MMMmmm but it costs me £10-£20 for a main course. Still worth it as a treat. BUT There are places down South with umpteen Michellin stars that charge £100 for a main course. One day I'll visit such an establishment - just once. I want to know what it tastes like. I want it to blow my mind.

It's kind of the same thing with this live recording melarky. If I was in a band, then I'd want a least one live track produced by the best producer we had access to when we were on top of our game. Beforehand we'd practice really hard to make sure the band was tight as fuck. The difference is that a CD lasts a lot longer than a meal. It's a snapshot in time, and wouldn't it be great to have the best possible sound extrapolated from that performance. £100 - cheap at twice the price.

If you were to phone up Sawmills Studio where Mark works, and ask to book an afternoons recording and production with him... they charge you hmm £500 maybe? More?

Now I doubt very much that Mark's going to be in Aberdeen forever. That leaves a limited window of opportunity to work with him. Go ahead - treat yourselves!

I hope this explains why we've installed this recording equipment.

Don't pretend you fucking eat there Thurisaz. You survive purely on space raiders, smoked sausage suppers and left wing political music culture.
