JOE STUMP´S TOWER OF BABEL is delighted to announce that the new album is in progress and the mixing has began.
Mark Cross took the production and mixing under his wings recording the drums and partly vocals at his Studio “The Drum Dungeon” and is currently mixing the album with Greek engineer George Aspiotis at “Studio Aspiotis” in Athens Greece.
Mark Cross commnents: “Finally we made it back into the Studio to start mixing the second album. It´s been too long and I can say that it will be a great album. (Laughs) What else would I say….. No, honestly, we decided this time to avoid plastic surgery and not sound like everyone else, which means we looked back and took the path of analog mixing to get that fat punch back, which is an absolutely must for our music. We´ve brought the mix down to an SSL enjoying vintage outboards to make it sound right and realized that it has been decades I last sat in front of such a beautiful console … the sound man, you know, you can´t just top this analog stuff with plugins and a computer, not a chance!!
Of course productions like these are more costy, but if you know where you want to go, this is the way to do it…..”
More updates coming soon ….
