demo felt marking music score script sent
When the script was written, it was sent to me with asterisks marking where he felt a song would be appropriate. Before the film was shot, the score was written. I made a demo of it, so they lived with the music as they were making the film.

The substantial duties found confirm widespread dumping of these products. Dumping and subsidization of these products by India, Indonesia and China have harmed American producers and their workers.

anarchic animals commercial concept flattened particular spirit themselves
As I say, the Animals had a particular concept of themselves as a band. There was an anarchic spirit in it, which was being flattened by commercial designs, attitudes, and needs.
american-musician organ tend
I tend to think of the organ as part of the rhythm section, rather than a frontline voice.
areas came separate
The Animals were a very separate and dissonant group at the time. We came from different backgrounds, different areas - we didn't even come from the same town, basically.
ahead american-musician change destroy history house name west white
Why don't they go ahead and change the name of the White House to the West House. They want to do away with the heritage of White Settlement and destroy the history of White Settlement.
guitar phrases use
I use a lot more chords than most organists and I'm careful to phrase them with the guitar.
real guitar play
The only time it dominates is during a solo, or when we play a low blues and I put figures in behind Eric's vocals. There's never any real problem fitting guitar and organ together.

emotional fantasy fantastic
Classical music's ability to translate emotional themes is fantastic.
artist missionary-zeal mass
We had a missionary zeal about blues music, and I felt, particularly, that Mickie Most was attempting to homogenize, sweeten, and make it accessible for the mass market. Which is understandable if you're the producer, but aggravating if you're the artist.
world going-through-changes stills
Everybody's going through changes. No one knows what's going on. Everybody changes places, but the world still carries on.
song sometimes crosses
I quite like childlike songs, which sometimes cross over.
