ILM: What was the inspiration for the track DARE?

NOODLE: We wanted to put a track on the album that was reminiscent of the electronic club sounds that came out of Manchester in the 80s. A big sounding tune that has…. an eerie haunting melodic sense to it as well. If you listen to D.A.R.E. you can hear there is an 'Ennio Morricone' type of melody that floats across the beat, drifting through the wall of electronic rhythms and noises. We also wanted someone to sing it who came from that kind of background.

ILM: How did you get Shaun Ryder involved?

NOODLE: Shaun has been a friend of our bass player Murdoc for a long time, and I think they were out together one night in a drinking club in Soho. That's when Murdoc suggested that Shaun should sing the vocal on this track. It didn't happen straight away because both of them immediately forgot the idea. It wasn't until Murdoc found the receipt for the bar-bill in his pocket a month later, that he remembered. We then phoned Shaun and he came down to Kong Studios to record it.
