Alexander Sound - high quality recording studio in Milton Keynes.
Alexander Sound Studios combines the best of traditional analogue and the latest in digital technologies with great sounding spaces. Alexander Sound was set up as the new home to former Great Linford Manor engineer turned freelance producer Phil English to replace his private mix suite and incorporate recording facilities in the same space. During his career to date Phil has worked with artists such as Feeder, Biffy Clyro and The Tindersticks and producers including Gil Norton, Ian Caple, Hugh Jones and Chris Sheldon.

The philosophy of AlexanderSound is to continue the standards set by the traditional elite studios into the modern musical climate of the small label and independent artist. We have recorded a video tour and interview with record producer Phil English in June 2008, watch the Alexander Sound video.
The studio was originally built by Steeleye Span drummer Nigel Pegrum and the acoustic structure of the control room remains unchanged even though the equipment has changed dramatically with Phil's arrival, in no small part due to the involvement of long term friend and self proclaimed 'Tech Monkey to the Stars' Blake Devitt.
