We were responding to a period in the 70s when we started that it was very much you cannot be involved in music unless you studied to do music.

Some of it was shot in Berlin, but a lot of it was filmed in Hamburg, along the Reeperbahn in Hamburg in the famous red light district. Kino is obviously German and "film" and "cinema" and we were always cinematic in our thinking.

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.

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

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.

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.
