In the 80s, we were still living in a kind of Cold War environment.

Crackdown, the video, interpreted and reflected a sense of authority and austerity and a sense of slight, impending doom.

We also worked with Marshall Jefferson for Groovy, Laidback and Nasty. So we were lucky to work with some really great people.

Crackdown had Dave Ball playing on it. Flood worked on our next album, and Adrian Sherwood worked with us on Code.

I edited Big Funk, some of the footage was shot by Peter Care. We were film buffs as much as music buffs, and so there are film reference as well as sound references.

Music doesn't have to be so rule-based - and so strict in its structures, construction and perception.

I think what we tried to do lyrically, vocally and musically was to capture a sound.
