It is the individual voice, present to itself, that needs to be heard. We need to hear the process of the musician working on himself. We don't need to hear who is more clever with synthesizers. Our cleverness has created the world we live in, which in many ways, we're sorry about.

Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it.

When I joined the band I didn't know any of the tunes, and when I left the band I didn't know any of the tunes!

When you're up against an electric band like that, it's like you're on two separate planets.

Creativity is what makes humanity move. We were created to participate.
