mastering studio recommendations

[haesslich]

any recommendations for a mastering studio i could contact?
i finished recording and mixing material for an album, and mastering would be the next logical step. it's rather droney guitar ambient stuff.
taylor mastered my first release to my absolute satisfaction, but i'm open for other names here too, as i'm always happy to establish new contacts.

I'm thinking Rafael Anton Irisarri may be a good bet for guitar droney ambient stuff: http://www.irisarri.org/

Everyone I know who has worked with James Plotkin, many of whom make guitar/drone/ambient stuff, speak highly of the experience.

I recommend Denis Blackham @ Skye Mastering

These suggestions all sound very good. The only two other guys that come to mind for this seem Andreas Tilliander and Ian Hawgood. Both know how to approach drone, ambient for sure.

That being said, I can only rate Taylor and Ian and would recommend them both highly.

I acquired it digitally and not much info was provided...

very good mastering studio, but quite expensive.
in the similar range as dubplate & mastering...

Can anyone give an idea of the general cost for mastering from some of the folk listed above? Say, for example, a thirty minute release for digital distribution only.
