I don't know how many records I'm selling.

One of the more distant concerns is with the visual interpretation of the music. I find it fascinating but I don't always particularly get involved with it.

I didn't want to try and borrow kudos from Indonesian culture. I was trying to get a fresh perspective on these instruments. I'm not doing a Paul Simon Gracelands and stealing all this African music and not give anyone any credit.

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

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

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

My father had a phase of having jukeboxes all over the house. He was a music lover but he was also into musical machinery. Not instruments, he was never interested in playing particularly but there would be these odd objects, like valve amplifiers being dismantled on the kitchen table. My mum wasn't massively keen on that, but it was part of the environment.
