DOWNLOAD 'SUMMER SUN' HERE


On May 28th 2006, the four members of Athlete gathered in the studio they'd just finished building, a short hop from their south east London homes. Three days earlier, the band's 'Wires' single had been named Best Contemporary Song at the Ivor Novello awards. Now it was time for Athlete to make some new music. They picked up their instruments, took a collective deep breath and pressed the record button.

Nine months later, in February 2007, they pressed stop. The recording of their third album, 'Beyond The Neighbourhood', was complete. That night, the band went for a meal with some friends to celebrate. Afterwards, they piled back to the studio for more drinks and to listen through the new tracks in one go for the first time. "We all just sat there with these huge grins on our faces," remembers frontman Joel Pott. "When they'd finished playing, we were like, 'Yes!'." MORE...

Aww, my son beat me to a comment. Laptops eh? Taking over the world. Tonight's gig in Liverpool was one of those special occasions when everything came together in perfection. Audience and band as one. Spiritual unison. I just feel so high on the music and best of all I get to share that with my son (and my mate Barry). Special, special, special. There was a lot of love in that room tonight. I too am looking forward to the new album. The new songs tonight were really strong. La la la love from Liverpool...

Just got back from your fantastic gig in Liverpool. Lost a stone in sweat, and my hearing in my right ear, but that was really something very, very special. Absolutley loved it. One of the best birthday presetns I've ever had too. Thanks alot and can't wait for the new album. If you get the chance, check out my Shake Those Windows cover on my myspace page too, a comment would make my day (again).

Silver Sound - Online Mastering!





Jun 29 2009 7:26 PM

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion.
Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar.
Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.
Mastering für nur 35 EUR pro Track www.silversound.biz
