After his time with EMI (and all of those Beatles records), Sir George Martin founded AIR Studios, opening multiple locations. This week, the Imbalanced Brothers focus on AIR Montserrat, a tropical paradise with a world-class recording studio! The story is well-told in "Under The Volcano," which is airing on Showtime and Hulu!

Dozens of well-known albums were made there between Climax Blues Band's opening of the place, and The Stones' "Steel Wheels," the studio's final project before tragedy strikes. Markus and Ray tell the tale of those halcyon days of the recording business, and the double-sided sword that Mother Nature tosses at the island, that takes the life of Martin's tropical dream.

Along the way, Gracie Otto's directorial depiction of those days has caused both of our hosts to consider an adventurous return to those hallowed studio grounds. 'Til then, enjoy the trip inside this episode!
