Its very sort of spontaneous and organic, not a preconceived sort of jamming. Now we record everything, cause sometimes you'll forget, you know, 'what was that thing again?' So we record everything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When we were making Speaking in Tongues and Remain in Light, we were jamming. From that we were taking the best bits and then recording and improvising on top of those.
I'm still amazed by the process of recording.
People have always been recording what's going on around them in one form or another.
Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.
It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing.
Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.
When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.
I learn all these things about the record talking about it after it's finished.
There are records that, in my opinion, only reach their full potential when the listener is disoriented.
When I make records, I never listen to stuff after it's done. Ever.
