I'm listening to some of his demo music. Very, very moody. Would be great in a horror film, I think.

k.w.

I also like drumming. However, a cornerstone album for me is John Foxx's Metamatic, which ranks among the most instrumentally sterile I own. Deeply majestic.


I am pleased he's reverted to performing it as "Underpass". He told me it was changed to "Overpass" live for years because he was fed up of people shouting out "Underpants" during the chorus. Oops.

It's like that stupid phrase 'drum machines have no soul'. Nor do drums!
You don't need a drummer, you only need a soul :P

That's one thing I like about earlier Rush, is that they brought in the electronic
element beautifully without compromising the human element. All this machinery
making modern music can still be open-hearted. Not so coldly charted, it's really
just a question of your honesty. (Rush quote)


couldn't resist that last part. =)
