Certain songs I feel different people should be on different tracks, you know it's emotional. I put myself into characters for certain records.

I had BEEN making futuristic records way before a lot of the groups that came out, but now everybody is running to make their albums sound new, but it sounds too made up.

But still at that particular level of commercialism I listen to those projects I still hear some stagnation in a lot of the stuff.

I think a lot of the high technology is distracting.
