Mastering “She tells us the album was “years in the making” and from this evidence those years have been well spent. All the key elements are here. From the first notes you know that this is an album with high production values and well-worked arrangements. And the numbers are consistently strong with hooks that catch, […]

Mixing & Mastering “This classy album is well recorded, produced and packaged. It may not contain an obvious show-stopping track, but that is hardly the point. Instead, Crosland and his outstanding quintet invite the listener on an immersive journey that captures the spirit of the landscapes and legends that inspired these compositions, rewarding them with […]

Mastering “With excellent sound and an unusually sensitive approach to ensemble playing, Mediterranean Echoes is immersive, atmospheric and deeply rooted in the musical heritage of the Mediterranean.

It’s […]

Music that can bloom with orchestral expansiveness, then fold into the quiet of four musicians breathing as one. A bold, moving and unexpectedly modern new chapter from one of […]

Mastering “Throughout the entire recording the communication between Garland and Keezer borders on telepathic. There is space, risk and tenderness in equal measure. Without needing to shout about its innovations, MEZZO lets them breathe. The result is an album of subtle beauty and enduring depth, proof that when two master musicians hit that sweet spot […]

Re-Mastering ( Vinyl ) “The album has been remastered for vinyl by Andrew Tulloch, one of the UK’s leading recording and mixing engineers, who has had a long association with Soft Machine. The album sounds superb, even on my relatively modest audio system, which includes a Rega Planar 3 turntable.”George Cole, Jazz Views
