…home of the worlds most successful record producers, mixers, writers, and engineers.

Over the last 22 years some of the worlds most successful selling artists and records have been produced, mixed or written by one of our clients. From Depeche Mode to Coldplay, U2 to Beyonce 140dB Management are at the cutting edge of song writing and music production.

140dB are proud to announce that Music Week has playlisted Ed Buller’s One Night Only track “Say You Don’t Want It” and Gil Norton’s produced Goldhawks track “Where In The World” in this week’s magazine (issue 27.02.10) . Check it out:

The Ed-produced album “Falcon” has now been released. Michael from The Courteeners spoke about the band’s recording experience in a recent interview for The Sport.

“Your second album is out next Monday, and it’s produced by another master of the art in Ed Buller (Pulp, Suede etc)”
Michael: “That was a similar kind of thing, really. Ed had apparently got wind of some of our demos and wanted to work with us. He¹s got a studio in Brussels which is where we did the record but he came over to Manchester when we were demoing and sat and listened. He went to dinner with us and told us that he’d really like to do the record. So again we thought, yeah, brilliant, we’ll have some of that! We love Suede and Pulp. He’s a really nice bloke, we got on well and we’ve got a great second record out of it. It was the perfect match. His studio in Brussels is amazing, like an Aladdin’s cave ­ all of the guitarists were like, f***ing hell, look at all that! And there were about 30 drum kits there ranging from late 1950s ones to the most interesting and stupid ones I’ve ever seen. It was just an amazing place to do the record and if you’re in a band then I fully recommend trying to do it over there. It’s like its own little complex ­ there were table tennis tables, which we all got pretty good on, it had a pool and a gym – you just woke up there and recorded. It made you not want to go out and completely concentrated your mind on the task at hand. We had an amazing six or seven weeks there.”

Gil has finished working on the fourth studio album from Australian band Gyroscope. They finished recording the album in Rockfield Studios towards the end of last year. The album is titled “Cohesion” and is scheduled to be released in April this year. Check out the first single from the album “Some Of The Places I Know” on their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/gyroscope where there are also some great videos of Gil working with the band in the studio!

The band have announced that they hope to release a new album in 2012, but in the meantime, we can look forward to a Best Of album – a release date is still to be confirmed.

Check out this week’s NME. The cover feature has The Courtneers talking about their new, Ed Buller-Produced album “Falcon”.

With 9 studio albums with sales in excess of 35 million – 70 million units, a ‘Q Inspiration Award’ in honour of their lasting musical influence and the record for the largest-ever audience attendance at a paid concert (196,000 people) the band feel it is time to call it a day!

The band are making a final word tour this year to end on a high note, the last concert taking place in Oslo on December the 4th 2010. Steve Osborne is currently working with A-ha on their final ever single, due for release later this year and to coincide with the tour.

Produced by Ed Buller, The Courtneers’ forthcoming album “Falcon” is due for release next Monday and is stacking up some great reviews in the music press. Mojo, NME are all enjoying what they are hearing!
