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.

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

We were iconoclastic. We weren't there to sort of follow the trends really. So it was important that we were making a statement against that.

We were fortunate at that time we were working with Virgin, and with Flood, probably more well-known as Brian Eno's engineer now and U2's producer, etc. Even though we weren't working in a strictly popular music area, which was great, we were lucky enough to work with people who were on the cusp of those sort of things.

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

We were working in entertainment, in the music industry, with popular music, it was important, but it was something that we also felt was a responsibility.

I think that's the fascinating thing that exists now. This contrasts with a celebrity art and celebrity music culture.
