I Do Really Believe That

My Guitar Style Was Developed During That 10-year Period. That's Me. That's The Way I Play, And I Don't Wish To Play Any Other Way. Our Own Individual Identities Are Firmly Stamped On This Album.

I'm Not Afraid Of Death. That Is The Greatest Mystery Of All. That'll Be It, That One. But It Is All A Race Against Time.

I Don't Know Whether I'll Reach 40. I Don't Know Whether I'll Reach 35. I Can't Be Sure About That. I Am Bloody Serious. I Am Very, Very Serious. I Didn't Think I'd Make 30.

There Was No Working Title For The Album. The Record-jacket Designer Said `when I Think Of The Group, I Always Think Of Power And Force. There's A Definite Presence There.' That Was It. He Wanted To Call It `obelisk'. To Me, It Was More Important What Was Behind The Obelisk. The Cover Is Very Tongue-in-cheek, To Be Quite Honest. Sort Of A Joke On 2001. I Think It's Quite Amusing.

The Gut-strung Guitar, The Classical Guitar, That Is A Whole Different World On Its Own. When You Think What The Guitar Can Do And What Every Individual Player Does With A Guitar, Everyone Has Their Own Identity Coming Through The Guitar.
