October 10th

Ben drove over and had a look at Lyndon’s new album. Lyndon had dropped the files off on Sunday and I had already loaded it all into the computer for Mastering today. Lyndon and his partner in his band, ’Three Blind Mice’, Alex came by later in the afternoon to check and guide our progress. Some of this record is extraordinary. I remember when Mark King called me some years ago and said that he was thinking of using Lyndon in his band and what did I think? My response was ‘You know, Lyndon is one of the most talented people I have ever met. But he hides it really, really well’. I stand by this statement. Some people that you meet and work with exude a confidence that belies there lack of ability. Others scare the crap out of you, but are in fact close to genius. This record is immaculately produced, his singing incredible and his playing exemplary. You’d never guess to look at him. No offence, my admiration for his abilities is boundless.
