Jon, the interviewer, was in Denver and I was in London. So there was a lot of lag over Zoom. It's always a bit disjointed.

Talking to the Hustle podcast about the new NJE record with some Madness thrown in for good measure: www.podbean.com/ew/pb-i5xbs-...
Episode 540 - Mark Bedford of Madness/the Near Jazz Experience
Madness has become their own institution in the UK. There's an entire culture built around their every move, like a ska version of Jimmy Buffett. Sometimes even legends need a break and to just "make ...

2/2… So the sound only ‘kisses’ the tape as it goes through the machine, it doesn’t record onto it.

No, it’s a sound thing and is part of the recording process. As you record the sound goes through the tape machine and tape and ends up as digital information on computer. You get the ‘warmth’ of using tape and the sound of analogue recording but it is then recorded digitally.

3/3... If you can, I would always record a big backing track with the core of the band. People playing together always makes fir a better feel. You can always patch up after.

2/2... Which can be a curse rather than a blessing. Madness record using the technique which is sweetly called, 'kissing the tape'. We run the recording through the tape and tape machine, whilst having everything digital as well.

Yes, I think one of the most important things you can take from analogue recording is to have the confidence to commit to your ideas. When I first started recording, which was on eight track tape, you had to be concise and edit along the way. Recording digitally allows you limitless overdubs.
