The album that started the Skye
Records journey.
After a family holiday on Skye in the 90s, Iain thought it
a good idea to turn one of the holiday houses he had stayed in into a studio.
The band actually agreed with this as we they had been hit with an
awful series of bills when it came to 4 or 5 people staying off island for the 2
to 3 months that it normally took to record, finalise and master an album
project.
So Iain installed essentially a "recording" set up in a house
in Pool Roag, 3 miles south of Dunvegan. It turned out to be, not only
financially better for all concerned, but a better way creatively to record an
album.
At this time, Iain didn't feel that he had the equipement to
finish the album at the studio, so this one was mixed in Glasgow. The next album
Croftwork however, was recorded, mixed and mastered on Skye in it's entirety,
but thats another story...
