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.

We were sort of coming from an angle where we wanted to break rules.

We had always used found sound, but we had always used it in an analogue way. And it was the early days of using collage and sound in a digital way. MTV, a couple of years later would be that way.

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

As sonic journalists, we were increasingly becoming bombarded with global images. It was the early idea of the cut-up, the idea of images being juxtapositioned, which we were doing with sound. That was the early days of samples.

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.

One of the tropes of our videos is that they were very rhythmic with clipped edits.
