Recent comment from sound engineer Pez Andrews: " I am giving a workshop on Wednesday on the use of stereo to some journalists at BBC World Service. When thinking of sample material as ever, I went to one of yours - Ghost Town. Would you mind if I played them a bit? Those pieces I worked on with you still stand up as some of the best-sounding in my portfolio. And that's entirely down to your recordings."
