Jim used to call his little home studio "The Woodheap" and you will notice
that the credits for the Fuzzface album say that it was recorded at
Woodheap.
Breathe was recorded basically in a rehearsal room so they had to bring a
lot of the gear in.  They brought in and recorded the album through Jim's
own mixing desk which he dubbed "The Woodheap Mobile".

You're right about the sound of Breathe. Definitely sounds slightly rougher
around the edges than say BSM or ESM albums. Might have something to do with
the fact that they recorded it on "The Woodheap Machine" (as per the CD
liner notes) ? I always wondered what this was....anyone know ?
