Musicland Studios

Musicland Studios was a recording studio based in Munich, Germany. It was established by Italian record producer, songwriter and performer Giorgio Moroder in the late 1960s. The studio itself was situated underneath to the Arabella Hotel (now part of the Sheraton chain of hotels).

Musicland was the only major recording studio in the 1970s located between Paris and Tokyo, and as a result was used extensively thoughout this period by a wide variety of artists, including Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Electric Light Orchestra, Donna Summer, Deep Purple and Elton John.

Musicland Studios closed at the beginning of the 1990s because the nearby subway train was affecting recording quality.
