I'm into paradoxes. I wanted to make an album about them, but the group told me I was a pretentious fart. They were right.
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
The first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums.
Sometimes if the guitar is the last thing to go on, it's very fresh.
Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear
