“I don’t think there were that many things that would surprise people who work in studios. My studio is fairly basic... an Eventide H3000 processing thing — that’s very good indeed," Eno says, in this transcribed interview from the October 1990 issue of Sound On Sound magazine, after being asked what gear was used in the studio during the making of Wrong Way Up, his collaboration with John Cale.

In this transcribed interview from the October 1990 issue of Sound On Sound magazine, Eno's acquisition and use of a Shure SM-58 is described in detail. "For Eno, a sense of urgency in music making is paramount, the kind of urgency that says: ‘if a demo tape is exciting enough, then use that as the core of a track and avoid endless mixes and takes’. Wrong Way Up is about this kind of urgency. Take for example Eno’s use of an 'old beaten up Shure SM58 microphone'".
“'I found this microphone that I think is sort of a magic microphone. When we were working on 'Carmen Miranda' and 'Words For The Dying' at the Strongroom, we tried this mic, and that mic, and they all sounded terrible. And there was this Shure, which is the cheapest basic rock’n’roll mike you can get. John didn’t want to use it ‘cos he didn’t like it, he thought. I said ‘John, try this Shure, you might as well’. He just said four words through it and I said to the studio engineer, ‘I’ll buy this mic.’ (laughs) And I bought it on the spot.”
