"It goes everywhere, there's really heavy tracks alongside the commercial
ones like 'LSF'. There are songs that we're not playing tonight like there are instrumentals on it that are way out there, just mad. It's like a journey sort of thing with highs and lows. It's not really one genre. There's breakbeats, hip-hop, beats and stuff and then there's other ones that are more rocky. A good mixture really."

Sometimes there's a hard thing about first albums. Some labels want instant success or quick financial reward. Were the label very suggestive in what was recorded?"

"They did express what they wanted on the album. They wanted to put on
some of our old four track demos that got us signed. We only play one of those track's off that now. We persuaded them otherwise by remixing one of them, which was 'LSF'. It's the same kind of track but redone. They were dead set of one track going on the album and we got away with it. They told us to
go away and come back with something better. We came back three days
later, with something and they were like fucking amazed."

I bet a recording with Jim Abbiss was a far cry from your first rehearsals?

"Yeah. We used to rehearse in a room about the size of a toilet. It was hot and sweaty. There was a metal pole in the middle that held up the ceiling. It used to drip with moisture it was fucking horrible. That was weird."

Were you able to play well in those conditions?

"It was difficult as we used to be a fourpiece ages ago. Then Chris came along and he added the solos and the new noises. It was bit different really. It took a while to mould but back then we were playing different tracks anyway. It was a bit more down the middle road, normal stuff, a bit indie, a bit different but now we're more electronic." >>
