We've always been observant of things, and I think Crackdown was very much like that and the film interpretation was that journalistic view of that situation.

You don't have to be trained in music to create sounds and to produce and release music. That's what we were saying back in 73-74. And that's the way the world is now - and all the tools of creation, production and dissemination are there in everybody's bedrooms, front rooms and studios.
