\u201cClockwork Heaven\u201d came out in 1995 and a year later I went to France to work for three years. I took guitars, the Fostex and the M1 with me, but in the end, I had no time for music-making at all. I did a lot of listening though as some stunning albums came out during that period. Like Radiohead\u2019s OK Computer and XTC\u2019s Apple Venus, both of which I listened to solidly for two months each. I bought a lot of CDs in France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it was time to move home in the\nsummer of 1999, I began thinking seriously about writing new songs. Herbie and\nI were in regular contact and we wanted to start work on an album as soon as I\ngot home. So, we both worked on ideas at opposite ends of Europe. The first\nsong I wrote for the album that became \u201cLove & Alcohol\u201d was Rest &\nRelaxation<\/em>. I wrote it in my head, on my lunch breaks, walking through the\ntiny village where I worked. When I had that mapped out and a lyric, I started\non Ultra Violet<\/em>, again at work, again only in my head. Preparing for the\nmove home and with a year-old baby in the house made it tough to find the time\nto sit with a guitar in the cellar, so I didn\u2019t bother with that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got home in August 1999 and within a couple of weeks Herbie and I met up, at his flat on Storgatan this time, to start in on the album. This time we used a PC, with the Cubase programme, which was a complete and total mystery and we understood very little of it to begin with. It was anyway a revelation to work in that digital environment, rather than with analogue tape recorders. We had some huge problems, however. We could spend a whole evening recording overdubs, just to have the programme crash and everything we\u2019d done during the whole evening was lost. It took a long time to learn that we had a to save as we worked and the learning curve was steep, even if recording a guitar or other instrument was easy enough. Quite quickly we installed Cubase on my PC too, so that I could work at home in my studio in See. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
