"I did something recently on ADAT and I really didn't like the sound of it. I've got a '70s Fender Twin amp reverb which has a really warm sound and I know what that sounds like -- and it didn't sound like that on ADAT. It wasn't EQ'ed. We stuck SM57 mics on it, which I always use -- one at the front and one at the back -- and it did not sound the same. It scooped out the whole 'warmth' area in the sound."

Mentioned in this November 2008 Sound on Sound interview.

"We did most of the vocals on a Rode NTK valve mic, even though Beth has a beautiful Soundelux, and I have a lovely valve Neumann U47 we've used on tons of stuff. We took those and an AKG C414, which we traditionally used on Beth's voice, compared them all, and ended up using the Rode — two or three hundred quid's worth, with a bog–standard valve in it, not modded at all. (I have a pair of Oktava MK219 mics, and there's a guy who mods them, and for a couple of hundred dollars more, you can really bring them up to scratch, and get rid of weird tones but I actually like the weird tones, and I love those Oktava mics.)"
