I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.

I couldn't find a group that wanted to do what I wanted to do. No one was really up for it.

The main thing I’m into is going about on a bike, taking random routes; I’m really into the idea of making up journeys, and just seeing where they take you, because they always end up taking you someplace freaky.

I’ve started thinking about pure electronic music again. Something very melodic, very aggressive.

One of those things that I find hard to dispose of is my attitude to album sequencing, the layout of the pieces.

Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing.

What happens in the studio is technically the same thing that happens on the stage. In the past I had to make quite brutal adaptations of the material to make it work on stage. I don't always like doing that because sometimes you're shaving away the things that you actually quite like about them, the spontaneity of it.
