Warp was important to Thom about two years ago when he was looking for different sounds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Bowie is a musician, but he works like a painter. Thom always thought that we should aspire to that.
I wanted to make the kind of records that I heard in the discos that I danced in at that time. Funky, electronic sounds, while the musicians in the band were more rock oriented. This I suppose created the sound we know as Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
Music was a vector that we wanted to build a universe around.
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
As a really young child, I was listening to the echoes of the age before, music hall and stuff like that, as well as classical bits on the radio.
Synthesizers were looked at as stealing the soul of music, but then there were these new bands who used it to contradict that idea.
I wanted to explore the connections between different kinds of music.
But I was in the Radiohead studio today and Phil was there drumming and Thom was there playing. We feel like we've only just stopped and already people are wanting us to carry on.
And it really is a good feeling to get up there and make that sound. I'm not stuck in a time warp, because I can use as many of the old songs as I want to, just the favorites.
A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.
