Notes on Rumble
Well, it’s been a long, hard haul, but our first full length, self financed CD album is here. It is entitled Rumble as a tribute to Link Wray; because it contains a few instrumentals; and as an acknowledgement, nay, a celebration of the lo-fi sound quality (although thanks to Matthew Barwick’s miraculous mastering process it sounds a lot cleaner than it has any right to!). It was initially recorded on 4-track cassette, although some of the field recordings were recorded on tape or mini-disc. A few overdubs were performed at BigSqueak studio, as was mixing and mastering. The cover photo was taken many years ago by David Williams, and shows Whitstable harbour in a storm.
