"After having the last three of our albums mixed and mastered by Plec, I consider him to be like an extra member of the band. I'm certain that if we had chosen a different man for the job the albums would not sound anywhere near as good as they turned out. This is down to Plec's technical talents of course, but moreso his dedication to going above and beyond what he's paid to do. He's more than an engineer, he inspires and brings a positive vibe to the project and it's all reflected in the music."
