...Martin now admits that the breakup was driven largely by his desire for the creative space to experiment without the burden of the Cheiron name. While the split ended a unique ethos - "You walked around, someone said, 'Hey, I need a tambourine,' and you'd do it" - he says it couldn't have lasted forever anyway. One of the studio's big risks was complacency, says Billboard's Nordic bureau chief Kai Lofthus, and now that Martin and Rami have set up their own place, Maratone, "they still have to push and keep on making good music...

"A lot of it was over people's heads." Somewhat paradoxically, given its status as a concept-driven album, the mission behind Machines was to keep it simple, at least musically. OLP's signature hook-laden choruses are back, but this time their lyrics are a bit more mature and thoughtful. The album's 10 tracks showcase Maida's quest not only to reconcile man with machine...
