Title: Album Titles of where they recorded
Post by: punkinhead on May 15, 2011, 04:07:36 PM
I was just reading something about why the MIU album was called MIU because of it being where they (Mike/Al/Brian) recorded it...and then coming to think about Holland, same reason....then Abbey Road, I'd say about the same reason....anyone know of any other albums named after the place an artist recorded their album?

Bryan Ferry's most recent OLYMPIA...which was partially recorded at Olympia Studios in London.

Cowboy Junkies' TRINITY SESSIONS recorded in Ontario's Church of the Holy Trinity.

Also, the LA-based band Apex Manor (featuring members of the Broken West) named themselves after their rehearsal space/studio which they used in their former incarnation.
