Miles Hunt - The Wonder Stuff

ILM: Which track did you have the most fun making?

Miles: It was interesting really, because we took pieces of ideas in and we only had a friend of ours, Luke Johnson, for a week, so a lot of the stuff that he was playing to, the songs weren't actually finished, so we arranged them after we got the drum tracks down. So it was all a good deal of fun with a good atmosphere. Our producer Matt Terry runs a studio in Stratford-upon-Avon, so we were based on a farm in Stratford-upon-Avon for the best part of four months, which was brilliant! Most of the time Mark Macarthy, our bass player, and I live in London, so it was particularly good for me and him to get out and onto the farm.

ILM: You've had plenty of top 20 hits and have been making music and touring since forever, what musical and personal ambitions do you still have to achieve?

Miles: The way we look at it, you're as good as the next idea or the last idea you wrote. Malc and I in the old days when The Wonderstuff were getting ludicrous commercial success that we didn't particularly realise we were getting into, and certainly had no interest in, and it eventually was what broke the band up. Malc and I are very simple in the fact that we get our greatest stuff when we sit across from each other at the coffee table, knocking out new ideas. And that's something we've been able to do together and we'll continue together, and that's our aspirations. Sadly, for those that need a little bit more scandal to do rock stories, that's as big as the story gets.
