I think in everything we did, there's a sense of tension and a sense of things pulling in a different way. It's interesting calling it "beat music". That's quite true, the rhythm is up to the fore, it's got a slap bass, and it's got "funk" in the title. But I think there's always a level of irony when we did those kind of things.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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