Recorded analogue on a vintage 1971 Studer A80 16 track 2inch tape machine, similar to the one used on many classic recordings of the seventies, such as John Lennon’s ‘Double Fantasy’ and Stevie Wonders ‘Songs in The Key of Life’. This gave natural warmth and tape compression to the low end of the music.
Mixed on a vintage Soundcraft 1624 board in Islington, London. The available modern reverb units were eschewed and microphones and speakers were set up to capture natural ambient room reverbs, with additional slapback and dub effects added using WEM Copicat tape delays and Roland Space Echos.

Playing the board like another instrument, these dubs were choice cuts of the off the cuff alternate mixes done on the day of recording.
Analogue, instinctive, genuine.
