"Remixing
Kraftwerk ?" Paul answers one of the biggest rumours... |
|
|
Loopz:
Kraftwerk and Orbital...there are lots of rumours
Paul: All i know is what Jones as told
me. No one has said anything to us, Purely a rumour
Loopz: I had about 8 emails in one
week all saying the same thing. Orbital remix the new Kraftwerk
stuff.
Paul: Id give it a go.
Loopz: I knew you would be up
for it ... They had about 3 or 4 groups down alongside as well.
Paul: Probably Daft Punk...
Loopz: Yep...that was one of them
Paul: But no one has offered it us
yet. Basically it was those who played at Tribal Gathering. |
|
"Remixing
James?" One that not many people have heard - but again another
rumour ?... |
|
|
Loopz:
How about people like James.
Paul: What about them ?
Loopz: Have you been approached to
remix any James tracks.
Paul: Not on a visual capacity...i
would do them cause i like them...after Lollapoloza. It would be
a time thing. The only thing i would have to say is oh no...at the
moment we are turning down everything cause we want to get on with
our new album. Its well over due. The only thing i would halt the
album for is the Kraftwerk one.
Loopz: Oh year...
Paul: you'd have to do that.
Loopz: Its compulsory really aint it
? |
|
"The
New Album ?" - The one that everyone wants to know ... what about
the New Album ?... |
|
|
Loopz:
How is the album shaping ?
Paul: Fine ... i think
Loopz: Any finished tracks as yet?
Paul: We seem to be building them up
from the bottom...and me and Phil will go from no finished tracks
to all finished tracks in a week. We just keep switching between
tracks, which is weird cause we dont normally do that.
Loopz: Is there a theme that u are
following ?
Paul: Nothing is becoming clear yet...Id
be hesitant to say its like this...cause people would tell me "No
No its like this"
Loopz: I remember you saying that In
Sides was gonna be more...more uplifting...more dancy.
Paul: I think this one is doing that
more...its got some heavy old tracks on it though and some strange...yaknow...Its
got some hard points but its got some soft points as well and some
funny points. |
|
"Anything
else going on ?" ... Anything else we should know about ?... |
|
|
Loopz:Is
there anything else going on apart from the album?
Paul: No...not really. No film work.
I wanna do the album myself...its been a long time. |
|
"The
Live Set ?"...The next live tour... |
|
|
Loopz:
After this album do you think you will touring ?
Paul: That will be the plan but i dont
want to start planning that until we finish the album cause last
time it all got a bit rushed. I dont think it got spoilt for it
but yaknow...the only thing that got spoilt was my stressed levels.
Before we quite finished...people were trying to organise the tour...and
im saying its gonna take X amount of time to Prepare the live set.
But people dont believe you , so im not even gonna tell them when
its nearly finished. We could say "Were Finished" and they could
go "Ahhh, oh my god we gotta to organise a tour". And we would say
"Yeah...youll have to do it later wont u"
Loopz: Always too much rush on it.
I heard or read somewhere that you were revamping the live set.
Paul: we revamped it for Lollapolaza...but
yaknow it will be a new live set when it comes around this time...No
more Belinda Carlisle i dont think.
Loopz: Halcyon...without Belinda or...
?
Paul: Who knows
Loopz: Who can tell :) I think what
they meant by revamping is by the visuals or something.
Paul: oh sure...that will develop and
change. I like to try something different every time. |

"Just
what is that voice saying at the end of the Box ?"...The FAQ from
the Xmission List…. |
|
|
Loopz:Now
very last question. I keep getting loads and loads of emails about
this as well. Its doing my head in. The muffled voice at the end
of The Box.
Paul: what the sort of whistling.
Loopz: its sort of like...if there
is a Tv on in the background or something like that. Muffling speaking
voice at the end.
Paul: Is there now...Oh i know...yeah
where it sort of like goes (Paul does a remarkable impression of
the end of the box)...where u can hear the overtones of the guitar
and then you hear (Paul does an impression of the muffled voice...again
too close for comfort)
Loopz: thats it yeah...What on earth
is it ?
Paul: not telling...i know.
Loopz: Oh u do ? We had some really
amusing comments. People saying that its satanic voices and stuff
like that.
Paul: well maybe it is......im not
saying a word.
Loopz: ok...keeping stum on that one
then.
Paul: yeah.yeah. |
