Ordered through an Amazon marketplace seller, so didn't even know it was heading his way. Had trouble sourcing Loops I. Looks easier to get subsequent releases. Letter came from 2062 Musex International. Looks like it his here https://www.discogs.com/label/208039-Musex-International Must say that this and the Kali Malone recommendations are great for that time when structure and persistence with minimalist explorations/variations are what the mind needs!

Some surface noise but not too bad......certainly not enough to affect the listening experience. Edited January 10, 2020 by stevoz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also reading about the recording of Brother's in Arms also at some Caribbean island - but its seems not specifically at Compass Pint for that album. seems tropical islands were all the vogue for recording at that time Edited January 10, 2020 by wasabijim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McP Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Alex Sadkin producer was a pivotal factor in the 80;s sound from Compass Point Studios. Always fun at hifi shows when you ask them to spin some Grace Jones, still sounds amazing today! Excellent dynamics and superb recordings. A benchmark for outatanding production. https://movingtheriver.com/2016/03/14/alex-sadkin-sonic-architect-of-the-80s/ < Though he died at the age of just 38 in July 1987, not many producer/mixer/engineers of the early ’80s had a more distinctive sound than Alex Sadkin. He worked with James Brown, Grace Jones, Bob Marley, Sly and Robbie, Robert Palmer, Talking Heads, XTC, Thompson Twins, Foreigner, Simply Red and Duran Duran during his short life. His productions are full of colour and detail, usually featuring multiple percussion parts, kicking bass and drums and a very characteristic, super-crisp snare sound. Alex’s first gig in the music biz was as a sax player in Las Olas Brass, a popular Florida R’n’B outfit, alongside future bass superstar Jaco Pastorius. Jaco and Alex had gone to high school together, and Alex later became the house engineer at Criteria Studios in Miami where Jaco recorded the demos for his legendary 1976 debut album. Sadkin then engineered James Brown’s ‘Get Up Offa That Thing‘ single and also worked on Bob Marley’s Rastaman Vibration album, which brought him to the attention of legendary Island Records owner Chris Blackwell. Sadkin quickly secured a new gig as in-house engineer at Island’s Compass Point Studios in Nassau on the Bahamas. This was where it really all began for Sadkin – an amazing melting pot of talent passed through the Compass Point doors including Talking Heads, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Tom Tom Club, B-52’s, Robert Palmer and Will Powers AKA Lynn Goldsmith. But his first bona fide producer credits were alongside Blackwell on Grace Jones’ stunning trio of early ’80s albums (Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing, Living My Life). > regards Ian > 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoz Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Alas, nothing lasts forever. Due to local crime and unrest, the Compass Point studios ceased operations in 2010, with the promise of restarting operations in another country. No news yet on that front.....
