Hey guys, that Headphase-era interview from UK magazine Clash that we all somehow missed is now online.

I don't care how the new intro blurb strictly refers to the band in the past tense though...

“I remember a nice comment someone made when they reasoned that we didn’t use a singer because no words could do the music any justice. I like that, because I’ve always felt that in music words are a really low-res way of conveying ideas. What I mean is, music is a much higher-resolution medium to convey feelings than words could ever be.”

That was nice :D

2002’s ‘Geogaddi’, their second long player, involved the creation of 400 such song fragments and 64 complete songs, with 23 selected,
This struck me. That amount of work... wow. Sort of puts the timeframes in perspective when you look at it that way.

I agree, and it couldn't be more true as well

Anyone archived it into BoCPages yet? ...and yes, nice find! At this juncture, I think the term, "were", is appropriate.

I was just about to quote that, too. Very well-put.

Thanks to the op for sharing.
