There is an integrity to INXS, in the music, that makes it worthwhile.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really feel like I've written my most effective music in the instrumental realms.
The most important thing is that you honor that musical integrity, whether you make music that sounds like ABBA or you make music that sounds like Void.
There's a lot of risk in putting what you suspect you really are into your music.
The marketing is just as important as the music, almost.
I care about being able to play. If you're playing with integrity in the music, then that's what matters. But it wasn't that great for me because it was kinda like going back into the old times without the guy.
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
Once you get rid of integrity the rest is a piece of cake.
I always feel like there's something magic in recording studios. There's a reason good music continues to be made in them. It's just some mojo element.
People who play conventional music are threatened by electronica and don't consider it to be as valuable as what they do.
I think it's easy to make impenetrable music that nobody can get, and you can hide behind that sometimes.
