Mike59 Group: Members Posts: 9 Joined: May 2012 Posted: May 22 2012, 18:23 Hello!  I'm new to the forums, so please excuse me if I'm doing anything incorrectly... I wanted to find out if anyone could tell me where Mike recorded Amarok.  Thank You! Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: May 23 2012, 06:44 It was recorded at Mike's home studio, not sure where he was living at the time though (England, but where exactly, I don't know). The articles on Amarok in the articles section discuss some of the equipment he was using and the recording process. And welcome to the forum! Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: May 23 2012, 07:11 Hmmm, I think Mike was still at that Little Halings in 1990 so presumably most of it recorded there. Please someone correct me if I've got that wrong! As Holger says, lots of info on the technical side of the recording in the articles section, particularly this article.

Mike59 Group: Members Posts: 9 Joined: May 2012 Posted: May 23 2012, 19:36 Just wanted to thank everyone who replied - very kind of you.  I wondered if it was Roughwood.  Always surprised me that the cover notes never revealed that. Back to top
