What's the best way to listen to your album 'Further'? It was written somewhere that it's uncomfortable to listen to during the daytime.

"It's quite absorbing," claims Andrew. "You could listen to it while your driving, when you're in your room, lying on your bed. It doesn’t really matter."

"This whole thing that it's late night music," states Keith. "If you're doing things properly then late night should be about four in the afternoon."

"I like the idea of come down music, but not necessarily in a drug sense," continues Andrew. "That too, but just for the point of view if you come back from a club, pissed or knackered, whatever, you can put the music on, there will be certain tracks that works, it’s full of different moods, but I wouldn't call it a moody album."

With the talk of moods, the conversation somehow turns to sandwiches.

"I hate sandwiches, I prefer pizza," says Keith.

"He's been living on sandwiches for the last two weeks," explains Andrew smiling, "What was that one you ordered in the hotel?"

"I couldn't believe it," begins Keith laughing slightly. "We were in a hotel in Liverpool we couldn't be bothered to wait for room service to come up. We ordered the pizza. They had already ordered the pizza that we asked for but it was for someone else in another room. They said we could have it and they would make another one for the other guest. We got it upstairs and it was full of banana!"
