+ "I've made two complete albums and parts of others with Martin. Aside from being a great guy and fun to hang out with, his most outstanding quality as a producer is that he actually produces, meaning he has very specific musical ideas that will make your songs better. Arrangements, sounds, changing or adding parts -- he sees the big picture and knows what colors and shapes to add to get there. And he got the best guitar sounds I've ever heard, on the Presidents' Freaked Out and Small. And let's not forget the trousers...the man is a notable wearer of fine trousers."
—Dave Dederer, The Presidents of the United States of America (http://www.thepresidentsrock.com)

+ "My experience working with Martin Feveyear as producer/engineer/mixer on Common Heroes' first album, The Robin Sings, was truly a fabulous one. He was personable, professional, and quick with tasteful melodic ideas -- which added depth and richness to the bare bones songs we brought in. Martin leaped over tall buildings for my band as well in ways he didn't have to -- by going to bat for us with a shady label guy, and directing us to a helpful lawyer when we needed one. I recommend Martin on the basis of his musical intuition, personal character, straight-up business sense, and sexy British accent."
—Ira Merrill, Common Heroes (http://www.commonheroes.com)

+ "As an engineer, Martin had an impeccable ear and a gift for dialing in sounds quickly. He was an absolute wiz with ProTools and was a tireless worker. As a producer, he was in tune with the songs and the direction of the music and his ideas were wonderful. In short, we were very fortunate to have worked with him."
—Josh, Slender Means (http://www.slendermeans.com)

+ "We at Hopeless records have had the pleasure of working with Martin Feveyear on 2 of our latest releases, Amber Pacific's The Possibility and the Promise and Nural's The Weight of the World. We would have to say our experiences working with Martin have exceeded our expectations. As a result we have two of our best sounding records that really capture the spirit of the artist and maintain high levels of sonic excellence. While achieving this excellence Martin was a patient and attentive to the needs of the label and our artists and clearly takes the quality of his work very seriously with every project. We hope to continue having Martin help us make great albums and he is on our short list of engineer/producers to work with."
—Al Person, General Manager, Hopeless Records (http://www.hopelessrecords.com)

+ "I couldn't have been more pleased working with Martin Feveyear and Jupiter Studios. Martin has the uncanny ability to jump into your head and retrieve the sounds that up until that point only you have been able to hear. Aside from his technical ability and state of the art studio, Martin makes you feel comfortable while performing and mixing which enables you to achieve the final product you envisioned. I have found my favorite producer/engineer/collaborator for all future projects."
— Barbara Trentalange (http://www.trentalangemusic.com)

+ "We had a wonderful experience working with Martin. We grew as musicians and gathered knowledge that will surely benefit us in the long run. His product speaks for itself, a epic, intricate, but simple sound that allows the listener to engage in parts that would otherwise be hidden with excess overdubbing."
—Truce (http://www.trucemusic.com)

+ "Martin was born to work in the studio. From producing to tracking to mixing, it is all just an incredible experience to watch him work. His extensive knowledge about the recording process and what sounds best was beyond impressive. As well, patience in pursuit of perfection doesn't begin to explain his work ethic towards not just an acceptable result, but something truly exceptional. On a personal level, his sense of humor, kindness, optimism, and advice about life made 2 months in the studio seem like days. He also knows a tremendous amount about the music industry beyond his skills in the studio. I am positive that sometime soon, within the music industry, his name will become very exclusive."
—David Tresko, Manager, Amber Pacific (http://www.amberpacific.com)

+ "I've seen and heard the results of Martin Feveyear's 'midas touch' many times since first recognising his talent in 1991 over in the U.K when he jumped in behind a mixing desk to rescue a live event where the soundguy went MIA mid set! More recently, I flew Los Angeles band The Skulls to Martin's Jupiter Studios in Seattle to record their second studio album where he showed a superb command of the board and excelled in co-production. I subsequently entrusted the entire piece with him for mastering. I was so impressed with his work, I specifically called on Martin to come to Los Angeles to record a live performance for a full length DVD production. Mixed by Martin a month later in Seattle, the resulting product was second to none. I'm greatly looking forward to working with him again..."
—James Harding, Libertalia Entertainment, LLC

+ "Having worked with Martin on numerous projects ranging from straight ahead Rock and Roll to tabla-tinged World Music, I'm always amazed at his broad knowledge and skill with an arrangement, riff, rhythm part or generally clever idea. He certainly brings a unique depth and character to any project that he's involved with."
—Brian Young, Drummer (Fountains of Wayne, Alex Woodard, The Posies)

+ "Martin is a great producer and that's about all there is to it.  He has the ability to quickly understand the vibe of a project and he has the technical know-how to be able to communicate that vibe on tape.  He is a really fun guy to hang out with but he (very importantly) maintains a certain objectivity about the project at hand.  He's got a very innate ability to communicate and because of that he can really coax your best performances out of you.  He's not pushy about trying new ideas or different approaches, but he takes your music seriously enough to demand some creative limit-pushing.  Martin is a big asset to any project."
—Ragan, Shim (http://www.shimrock.com)

+ "When coming into Jupiter Studios to record our debut CD Falling Down Blue in the Fall of 2005, the band was very anxious as we had a limited budget and time to get twelve songs down without sacrificing our ideas. Martin Feveyear immediately put us at ease with his easy going approach to recording, as well as his unending enthusiasm for our project. Martin is an extremely talented engineer and mixer, but his true strength lies with his production abilities which were monumental to our sound and success of the songs. Martin quickly understood the goal of the band, and was able to introduce new concepts and directions while strengthening the overall song delivery and effect. Drawing from his vast musical past, Martin shaped our songs into a commercially viable product, moving us to the next level. His production approach is one of support and collaboration, gaining him utmost trust from the band members. Our completed CD turned out to be one we are very proud of, and it would not have been half the product without Martin's insights and leadership. We sincerely hope to work with Martin again and look forward to his continued success."
—Jason Kardong, The Wakefields (http://www.wakefieldsmusic.com)

+ "Martin's skill as a producer is only matched by his incredible work ethic. He's always thinking about what's best for your songs—the perfect performance, the right sonic texture, the telling detail that makes a good song suddenly great. Martin pushed us as musicians and songwriters, and we're extremely proud of the album we recorded with him. We're definitely recording our next one with him. We're also thinking of starting a Martin fan club."
—David, One Time Through (http://www.onetimethrough.com)

+ "Martin is a true artist and working with him made us better musicians. He has 'golden ears' and was able to get the best sounds out of every voice and every instrument on our record. We feel very lucky to have worked with him and hope to do so again in the future."
—Shelby Earl, The Hope (http://www.thehopemusic.com)
