I'd rather be on a label that understands us and allows us to be a bit odd.

I don't particularly care how many records we sell any more because we've kind of bought all the equipment we want to buy.

So we should preserve it. I don't think that digital storage is necessarily a good thing, but I definitely think that digital manipulation is interesting.

It just comes down to taste at the end of the day, and that's something you can't really analyze. Yeah, I think to have it all there is basically best, regardless of whether there's hiss there as well.

A lot of the Warp stuff has infected people's minds 'cause they're at the point where they can put tracks out, 'cause electronics are cheaper in America and kids are richer generally.

The Internet's kinda in danger of getting heart disease pretty soon, I think. Arteries are getting clogged.

I'm well into sort of Santiago Calatrava and people like that.
I'm quite into the idea of engineering being beautiful.
