The Grange Studio
The Grange Residential Studio is a recently renovated 17th Century 90ft barn situated in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. The studio is built around a high quality analogue setup which can be augmented by digital equipment on request. The studio features a very large live room with its own mansard roof for a truly great acoustic. The control room and auxiliary rooms are specially designed to give the ultimate conditions for high quality recording. The studio is in a rural setting and there are two separate self-contained cottages for accommodation. Latest news: HI-FI+ Magazine's RECORD OF THE YEAR - 2007 (Issue 54) ELEANOR MCEVOY "OUT THERE"
And finally...there's Eleanor McEvoy's latest offering - the inspired and sumptuously recorded, Out There which offers soulful and jagged edged lyricism at its very best. The SACD was issued back in 2006, but the half-speed mastered 180g Vinyl release pressed in Germany by Pallas has been a little longer in coming because of manufacturing problems. However, stellar production and a classy recording from the Grange Studio in Norfolk is a heady mixture that's worth the wait. Whether on vinyl or SACD this is an album overflowing with insight. Eleanor's wry observations in these beautifully crafted, intelligent and mature songs not only communicates those millpond ripples in our lives, but also takes moments of pure anguish, intense pain and intimacy and offers more than a glimmer of hope where none is readily apparent. She delivers music that combines permanence and pertinence in equal measure. For her relevance, and a deep-rooted understanding of the perverse, contrary and unpredictable human condition, Out There takes top spot this year. |
