Babylon Halt has returned from the mastering house and sounds amazing,
if we say so ourselves. For those of you who don't know what mastering is,
it is where the tracks for an album are matched in volume, adjusted tonally
so they sound as good as they can, fades are added where needed and the
correct length gaps between them are inserted. Babylon Halt was mastered by
Frank Arkwright at
Metropolis who
has a very impressive track record. He's mastered albums and tracks for Nitin Sawnhey, Plant & Page, Kylie, The Coral, Katie Melua, Black Rebel
Motorcycle Club and Armand van Helden among others.
