In that period, we had the Cold War mentality imbued through us - the Post-war [environment] and the Cold War. I think we were reflecting some of that. This was before the Wall collapsed, etc.

I don't think it had a name when we started. If punk has any roots, Dada is part of it. And we saw ourselves as part of a kind of Dada tradition.

I think probably underneath it all, film [Kino] has its own rhythm and its own dynamic, and we were trying to capture the movement of film and cross-reference it with music.

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.

[Kino] worked really well as a song title, and to build into a lyric, and also how we embraced mulit-media at the time.

We've always been journalists - and have seen ourselves in that way. But we sort of recontextualized it through music.

I think underneath it all [in the Big Funk] was a little bit of a Europeanness in it.
