The result is both maximalist and restrained, huge soft synths up against cruising beats to offset the compressed vocals of his carefully chosen clips.\u003cbr\u003e ‘Mercury’ was produced by James Hinton with additional\u003cbr\u003eproduction by Damian Taylor (Bicameral, Ricercar, Relegate), mixed by Lexxx (Alex Dromgoole) except for ‘Relegate’ which was mixed by Damian Taylor, and mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters in Los Angeles, CA.\u003cbr\u003e CD in printed inner wallet and spined capacity outer wallet and eight-page poster booklet.\u003cbr\u003e LP in black standard weight vinyl with printed inner sleeve and two-page insert and digital download card.\u003cbr\u003e Press - Reviews in MOJO, Hi-Fi World.
