We felt that we wanted a slightly rawer, less produced sound for our
next record and decided to have a change of scene and go back to recording
with Drostan at the studio he usually worked in, Rooster 2 (previously
known as Alvic where we recorded Ageless). I remember it was a really
hot day and the air conditioning wasn’t working in the live room,
which was pretty unpleasant. We initially intended to rerecord Moment
By Moment as the A side with I Never Know Where You Are as the B side,
but we were so pleased with I Never Know Where You Are when we’d
finished it that we decided to make it the A side instead. Although
we’d really enjoyed working with John Fryer at Blackwing it was
nice to work with Drostan again as I think we’d both learnt a
lot since recording Ageless and came to the session with new ideas
which gave I Never Know Where You Are a real freshness. Although Drostan
had been pretty keen on triggered and effected drums when we worked
with him before, he recorded the drums on I Never Know Where You Are
pretty much as Martyn played them, so the whole track was really natural
sounding and had a lot of space, whereas with the material we recorded
with John Fryer the sound was much more dense as all the space was
taken up with echo and reverb, which we loved at the time and are
in fact what made songs like Across The Water and Waiting On The Wire
sound so full and lush and gave them that magical otherworldliness,
but we just felt we needed a change.
