The Location
We said that we wanted you with us all of the way!
So here is an extra page we've added to show you some of the beautiful Dorset scenery that Jet and the team have to suffer while making the album (poor souls!).
Jet and Nigel often venture out for an hour or two just to clear their heads, as recording this album requires a lot of concentration from both artist and producer.
These few pictures were taken by Nigel during some of these well earned breaks from the studio environment (A short drive, and your there!). These pictures also introduce two other valuable team members - Ann Millar (Studio executive) and Dave the Alsation dog (Studio Security).

Above: A beautiful sunset over West Bay.
Above: Inspiration comes from days like this; Ann and Dave (just visible) take a walk on Chesil beach.
Above: A bit of a hike this one, but the walk was worth the picture; Red Crane, Portland Bill, during a blow.
Above: A popular Dorset landmark.
Above: Lookout! He's coming our way! Woof! Woof! - Ann's bodyguard comes over to check our ID.
Above: Come on guys! Time to get back to work!
Above: Yet another spectacular Dorset sunset!
Above: Nigel and Dave take in some sea air.
Above: Another short drive and we're at 'The Fleet'. This is a telephoto shot along The Fleet from the nature centre car park. This stretch of water runs from Portland Harbour along behind Chesil Beach up to Abbotsbury Swannery (Just over 8 miles). This was the location for the testing of Barnes Wallace' Bouncing bomb (The Dambusters) during the second world war. It is now an SSSI (site of special scientific interest), and is shown here at low tide.
Above: The old lower lighthouse (now a bird observatory) photographed behind some beach huts on the Isle of Portland.
Above: A blow hole throws up a tower of seawater on one of Portland's many windy days.
Above: Rough weather!
Above: More Jet fuel arrives.
Above: The end of another day!

We couldn't resist adding these three sunsets, plus some moody shots of Portland.
