Morcheeba chat to ilikemusic
ILM: You've stated that making this album was a very cathartic process. Were there any major stand out moments?
Paul: I had confidence in the project the whole way through. Being patient with myself was one of the biggest challenges. When we were mixing and the tracks were really coming together, I really felt like we had pulled it off. The album still had mystery and intrigue after listening to it so much. That was when I knew we were onto something special.
ILM: Do you find it difficult to know when to stop? When to step back and say 'Yes. This is finished.'
Paul: Not really. I'm not a perfectionist like that. Once I know where it's going I just have to put the hard work in along with everybody else to bring it to fruition.
ILM: What is your ethos for making music? How has that changed and developed over the years?
Paul: Well, you know, when we got into it we had the same kind of superficial motivation that a lot of bands have. The sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll thing. Trainers and T-shirts...you know. But really, I think the real reason we got so into it was because music nutured us as children. We were living in a very volatile domestic atmosphere so we've always been great believers in the healing powers of music. Now we have got all the superficial stuff out of our system we have been able to come back to the place where it is very much about the music again. And nature is just such an incredible inspiration.
