Since before Xmas, I've been flavour of the month up here in Mastering Room 5, working on some interesting & successful projects.
In February I achieved a first in three years of being at Abbey Road, having mastered a No.1 double with Lily Allen, for the album "It's Not Me It's You" and single 'The Fear' (I have managed the same feat before with The Spice Girls, but that was before joining Abbey Road).
The Glasvegas Xmas EP 'A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss)', which I mastered at the end of 2008, charted in January.
Also in the top five was Alesha Dixon's "Breathe Slow".
"Paper Planes" from XL's MIA remained in the Top 40 for a long time after appearing on the soundtrack to Slumdog Millionaire.
Interesting new albums from Patrick Wolf and William Orbit, and a new Warchild compilation album, to name but a few, have also kept us on our toes through the winter.
All the hits & more, from the second floor!
