[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 were coming from a completely different place, which was saying "sound" is what you want to define it as, and you can shape it into music in whichever way you want.

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

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.

It was an important period for us, because even though we weren't a "punk band", and what became a model for a punk band, we were able to be dragged along by the spirit of that time.

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

We also worked with Marshall Jefferson for Groovy, Laidback and Nasty. So we were lucky to work with some really great people.
