***Take Time*** is the third extended play by [Gyroscope](/source/Gyroscope_(band)) and was released in May 2002. The five-track EP was recorded at Studio Couch in [Perth, Western Australia](/source/Perth,_Western_Australia) earlier that year and was produced and engineered by Shaun O'Callaghan.

## History

*Take Time* was recorded by [Gyroscope](/source/Gyroscope_(band)) at Studio Couch in [Perth, Western Australia](/source/Perth,_Western_Australia) early in 2002 and was produced and engineered by Shaun O'Callaghan.[1] It was issued on 19 May 2002.

Following the release of their compilation album, *[Injuring Yourself Whilst Making Music](/source/Injuring_Yourself_Whilst_Making_Music)*, in 2001 the group went on hiatus, while their drummer, Rob Nassif, went to [Canada](/source/Canada) to study for six months.[1] Upon his return, they signed a deal with [Fremantle](/source/Fremantle)-based independent record label, [Redline Records](/source/Redline_Records) (owned by local band, [Jebediah](/source/Jebediah)).[2] The first track written upon their resumption was "I've Been Struck by Lightning Once... So What's the Chance of It Happening Again?" – Daniel Sanders, their lead singer, had literally been struck by lightning whilst he was out fishing with the band's manager.[1]

In support of the appearance of *Take Time* they undertook a national tour backing Jebediah throughout July and August.[3] In October 2002 *[Juice Magazine](/source/Juice_Magazine)* listed Gyroscope as one of the next big things along with [The Vines](/source/The_Vines_(band)), [Jet](/source/Jet_(band)) and [the Datsuns](/source/The_Datsuns).[4] At the end of that year Gyroscope won a [WAMi Award](/source/West_Australian_Music_Industry_Awards) for 'Most Popular Local Original Punk Act'.

The success of *Take Time* led to a deal with [Festival](/source/Festival_Records)/[Mushroom](/source/Mushroom_Records), which signed the band in 2003.[5]

The band's debut music video was for "Save the Last Match" and was produced by Andrew Miller.[6]
