Behind the Album
2nd Chapter of Acts’ Matthew Ward writes:
This was the project I had the most fun recording. All the vocals were cut in a bedroom of the house we lived in at the time. We had converted our garage into a mixing room, knocked a hole in the bedroom wall and ran a microphone cord into it. It also marked the extensive use of synthesizers, which were monophonic at the time. This meant every note of a chord had to be played and recorded one at a time, very time consuming! The other thing that amazed me about this project was the fact it was recorded on a 16-track, 2-inch tape machine. There were many instances where we had to record four or more parts on a single track (anyone who knows anything about recording will understand the challenges that would create in the mixing stage!). A real “concept album,” it was based on the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.
