Great Magnet Recording Studios

About Me

Begun as an attempt by Morroccan business interests to gain a foothold on the Portland indie music scene, Great Magnet Recording Concerns started recording acts in 2001, spearheading a campaign to bring back the lost heart and soul of the American recording studio. Who doesn't long for the days of sincerity and heartfelt expression that came across in the glorious rock 'n' roll heyday of the '60s and '70s? Journey back with me, your guide, Chief Engineer Rob Weston, to a time before the mega pop bands and focus groups and pitch correction and general soul-less bullshit. Let me bring the best of then and the best of now to your band and your sound. DOWN WITH THE DOUCHEOISIE!!

Ho Ho Holidays
