I will still carry on changing all the time.

I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.

The idea of a hypnotic riff as the prime mover of a piece of music has been around for a long time, whether you're talking about the Delta blues or music from Middle Eastern and African cultures.

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.

There is far more sensitivity in acoustic guitar players than could ever be compared to any synthesizer. That's a personal point of view but that's the way I see it. I think that's what it's all about. The drive, the fire, the passion - it all comes out on the guitar.

You know what you can gain when you sit down with the Moroccans. As a person and as a musician. That's how you grow.

I always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened.
