I Think Trying To Be Offbeat Is

I Think I Gave Indications Early On That Mine Wasn't Just Going To Be A Commercial, Er, Career. If That Were The Case, Then The First Record Would Have Been 10 Versions Of 'loser.' I Always Thought It Would Be Interesting If There Was No Such Thing As Gold And Platinum Records, Or Record Deals, And People Were Just Making Music. What Would The Music Sound Like?

I've Personally Reached The Point Where The Sound Of Mp3s Are So Uncompelling, Because So Much Is Lost In Translation.

When I Did "top Of The Pops" For The First Time, Ace Of Base Was One Of The Other Bands, And I Have A Memory Of Them On A Small Stage Next To Me In The Tv Studio. A Memory Of Their Performance Is Burned Into My Mind. Seared.

Back Then, Pro Tools Only Had Four Or Eight Tracks, So We Couldn't Actually Hear All The Tracks. We Could Only Hear Eight At A Time, So If A Song Had 25 Or 30 Tracks, We Wouldn't Be Able To Hear It Until We Went Into The Studio An Put It All On Tape. The Process Was A Little Bit Backwards.

For The Records I've Work On Over The Last 10 Years, I Get Sent The Really Compressed Version And The Non-compressed Version, And Oftentimes You End Up Going With The More Compressed One Because It's What People's Ears Are Attuned To. I Think The Bigger Problem Is Saturation And People Being Desensitized.
