Seeing People's Faces, Really Getting

I'm Attracted By The Unknown, But I Take Precautions.

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.

If I Ever Really Felt Depressed, I Would Just Start Putting On All My Old Records That I Played As A Kid, Because The Whole Thing That Really Lifted Me Then Still Lifted Me During Those Other Times. It Was Good Medicine For Me, And It Still Does That For Me When I Put Something On. Isn't It Wonderful That We've Got All That Good Medicine? I Think It's Got To Be All Part Of Our Dna, This Mass Communication Through Music. That's What It Is. It's Got To Be, Hasn't It? Music Is The One Thing That Has Been Consistently There For Me. It Hasn't Let Me Down.

All My Houses Are Isolated. Many Is The Time I Just Stay Home Alone.

There's Such A Wealth Of Arts And Styles Within The Guitar... Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Blues... You Name It, It's There. In The Early Days My Dream Was To Fuse All Those Styles. Now Composing Has Become Just As Important.
