We made music that wouldn't be in synch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most music that you hear is in synch with itself. We were experimenting with the music falling out of synch with itself and even though it is out of synch you mind can still understand what it is meant to be doing.
Our songs were not written to be listened to in headphones or on the radio. They were written to be played. All of the little infinite detail that went into the arrangements and giving ourselves lots of breathing room in terms of playing what we wanted to play and using up any ideas that we had - all of those were conceived to be performed.
Music was a vector that we wanted to build a universe around.
Before recording technology existed, you could not separate music from its social context.
The music I was making for people not to dance to was the one they were dancing to.
If it wasn't for music, I doubt whether we'd be friends.
We knew that we wanted to play heavy music but I hadn't gotten into melody and things like that.
We didn't rehearse or play the songs to death before we recorded them, and that let us catch a freshness and energy level we've never really felt while making records.
We don't make music - it makes us.
We would turn everything into songs in those days.
