Yup, there's a nub track on their Christmas compilation as far as I know (Tim's been dealing with it) and the nub 'Pure Gold: 100 years of smash-fucking-hits' has been mastered and I think Tim's planning on a release early next year.
I've fairly recently moved to Lincoln; married with two kids now and wanted to spend much more time with the family and doing fun stuff/music and much less time commuting and wishing I'd get made redundant! Might even get round to releasing some music...I've got ruddy loads of the stuff recorded!
Salut Mssr. Scanlon!

sounds smart, Lincoln has a nice cathedral I believe? Consider the props delivered. I look forward to hearing Nub "high times and low cut tops.. a gold collection"

There is one particular studio near Camden that I know well that people often use for hardcore/left-field stuff and that is often described as cheap and decent, but it really isn't. PM me if you can't guess which it is.
My advice (if you are into taking a risk, but a free one) is to contact the studio used for the City and Islington audio engineering courses (off Old Street) and see if you can't hook-up with somebody into your stuff. That where I studied for a while, and as part of people's courses they need tame bands as guinea-pigs.
Obviously some of the students are clueless idiots, and some are Phil Collins fans, but there are bound to be some into the kind've stuff you dig.
The gear there is 1000 times better than you'll find in a cheap commercial studio: SSL G-series desk, Studer 2", tons of great outboard stuff, bespoke acoustic studio-build etc.
Just an idea.
I did this exact same thing 5 years back - small world innit.
I know someone who runs a very decently-priced, well-equipt mobile studio, if you can find a space to record in. he knows exactly what he's doing and has the advantage of being a big fan of good records.

Another vote for Southern. Very reasonable rates for the experience you're buying into. Wouldn't record anywhere else in London on my own cash.

Hey, what about Mayfair studios in London?... in Mayfair I assume... Seems like a crazy high end place for the 'stars', yes?
