(2006) -- "There's kids all over the place, sleeping and shit, plus relatives and everything around, sometimes. As with every other socio-economic factor in this rapidly-changing and Margaret-Beckett-straddled cosmos, it impacts on modern album-making. Overstand what i'm saying? So under these difficult pressures, the idea arises, right, of doing a private album, with no accountancy-like computation, no digital, no glitter, no make-up, just smashing lyrics, and unusually quiet to record late at night. In the short, middle and long term this means a mass of pause-button edits executed on two sony tcm400dvs, a panasonic fm25 and nathan blunt's busted sony tcm818 we know so well from "tape team j19" spread over two c90s and played back simultaneously like a two-track stereo recording on a busted bush stereo unit, blazing like biggie passed us a semi in here. Contra R Stewart, this last cut is the deepest. Fuck electronica, man."
