ALBUM
- A SEA WITH 3 STARS- PRODUCED BY IAIN McKINNA + NECTARINE NO9
Iain
"After selling my old studio (Sonic) to CAVA in 1993, I
returned there to record and produce this acclaimed debut album
for the Nectarines. Vocalist Davy Henderson, formerly of The
Fire Engines and Win, was the creative force behind the album
which was recorded on 2" 24 track using an AMEK Mozart
Mixing Desk. Dave adopted various vocal characters who all had
their own varispeed setting to create their voices. Many of
the lead vocals were put through a Marshall stack and recorded
with distortion. A hugely enjoyable experience the album made
the band NME band of the year in 1993. A high point was going
onto the roof to record the fireworks display at nearby Meadowbank
stadium. The resulting explosions featured on the album along
with music from Dave's local Ice Cream van and other wacky sound
effects".

NME:
.Lots of detail to explore and discover over months, years,
and even decades of listening. The Nectarine No.9 are magnificent-I'm
in the presence of genius..
THE GUARDIAN: .Guided by ex-Fire Engine Davy Henderson, Edinburgh's
The Nectarine No.9 are shaping the most adventurous guitar
noir in Britain..
MOJO: . Delivers a fistful of diamonds.
UNCUT: .Epic slabs of weirdness that would hardly be out of
place on Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica.
