This long-forgotten album, from 1992, has finally been dragged kicking and screaming into 2020 with a shiny new cover and spiffingly antique sound. Remember, this is a very old album, recorded with very basic equipment and so is not the last word in hi-fi. Lo-Fi, is probably a better term …

Architect of Light – Mixing Complete

24th December 201930th September 2014 by Steven McCabe

Finally, I am pleased to report that the mixing of Architect of Light is now complete. From tomorrow, I will be spending as long as it takes on the production master before I am happy with its readiness.

To that end, I am pencilling in Mon 3rd November as the release date.

The mixing process went better than I had anticipated, which was a relief: those long tracks are terribly tricky to get right! As well as the music, I am revamping the artwork and creating an exclusive downloadable package to go with it, too.

Look out, shortly, for more extracts on Soundcloud.
