Mostly drums, records and old cars

The final product sounds like the Police. Drumming is badass....... Seeing as he's credited, that's probably Homer Steinweiss, drummer for the Dap-Kings and regular Mark Ronson collaborator. Production and recording-wise sounds like the song is split into 2 parts - the Police knock-off sound of the...

Songs In The Key Of Life

No filler there to my ears. Heck, I consider it an incomplete listen if I don't stick the bonus 7" on at the end too.

Thought people might enjoy this article and short film about Electric's valve driven vinyl re-issues :

That's funny! At first I thought that you had gone to all of the trouble to shoot it on Super 8 film to make it look retro. And then, and then... HEY! (I'm feeling a little ripped-off here, but again nice version; you couldn't manage to find a stock shot for the Flexitone solo?)... GJ Hehe - thanks...

Some of you liked the 'Little Drummer Boy' cover I recorded last Christmas with a friend, and thus encouraged we decided to do a whole album of such covers. Festive lulz all round! Some of the tracks up in full on Soundcloud if you're in the mood ... https://soundcloud.com/olympic-cyclone-band and I...

Dig your grooves and production - will PM you!

Thanks man, the feeling's mutual! (Very late to see this, sorry!)

Great job Mike, super songs and loving the 'all in the room' vibe. Nice one.

Sounds like a fun record to make - hope it goes well! Bluesbreakers was recorded at Decca Studios in Broadhurst Gardens, there are a few pictures of sessions online - here's some showing a bit of the room (not a John Mayall session, but similar era) http://www.coda-uk.co.uk/mixed_bag2.htm#decca And ...

Some proper scary business going on here! Loving your work folks :) I did a thing last year based around some samples off an old 'Music & Movement' type record to include on one of my 'Funky Halloween' mix tapes. Here's the track, there's a link to the mix there too : http://soundcloud.com/rubberfun...

4th'd (5th'd?) on the plain white (going very grey now) felt beater, plenty of thump. You could try the card beer-mat taped on the head at the beater contact point thing if you want a bit more click / slap. I have the same kit you've picked up (80s Ludwig Rocker right?) and it originally had Ludwig ...

I love gratuitous use of the fish-eye lens too. Which makes that shot perfect! GJ Hehe - cheers, must do another one of the other side of the room! PPS-- R-Funk-- Is that a Brazilian tamborim underneath the Portishead, or just a regular headed tambourine? GJ Just a regular headed tambourine, pretty...

picked up a pretty clean late 80's/early 90's Ludwig "Rockers" drum kit tonight for $120. five piece, with some stands and a Zildjan ZBT ride included. not sure if that's a good deal or not... they're old enough to be made in the US (North Carolina) based on my brief research. picked up a nice 70's...

Nice collections, love gratuitous vinyl shots - here's some of mine

Been a while since I did any vinyl with them, but have you spoken to Metropolis? I know they were offering other more specialist vinyl mastering options (half speed cuts etc) so might be worth a try? http://metropolis-group.co.uk/mastering/ Did my last vinyl project with Chris Potter at Electric and...
