"Our saving grace was our sound engineer, Paul, who was as dedicated as we were to getting everything sounding good. There's no way we can ever repay Paul for his diligence and utter devotion to this recording. If we make it big (ha ha) on the back of this recording, he'll be at the top of our list of people to thank."

"In Hove, Church Road Recording studio specialises in analogue and vintage recording techniques. 24 track 2", and 64 track digital Cool site, and recommended studio for bands wanting the analogue sound."

"An impressive looking studio, with more of a guitar-band slant to their recording skills and stacks of vintage gear, if you're after that warm sixties sound this place is analogue heaven."

"For me, working with Julian Tardo at Church Road transformed the recording process – my first records were analogue, these days its all digital, which has a different quality in terms of sound, but is much faster and can be much more interesting to use when trying production ideas out."
Lovejoy mainman Richard Preece interviewed at: www.tranzistor.gr
"Paul is our producer at Church Road studios who has been there since the move back to Brighton in 2000. He's cajoled and aided us, given us money off and, more than a few times, hung his head in abject frustration. But he seems to like us, and is still producing our songs."

"I could not have asked for a better engineer and co-producer than Julian Tardo."
Tim Burness interviewed at www.nucleusprog.com
"I would agree with Church Road studios being good. And it is a bit more pricey than others in Brighton, but as with everything in life you do get what you pay for!"
"Church Road studios in Hove has a good name. We recorded ours there as we'd heard such good things about the place."
