"I belong on a stage," the actor says. "I feel totally at home. But at a studio, surrounded by other experts who all have their contributions to make, I used to feel a terrible pressure as the person in front of the camera." And it didn't absolutely help that Sir Ian is gay--Britain's first openly homosexual knight...

He notonly mixes beats and samples but also draws upon awide range of musical genres that are delicatelyblended into a funky, slamming, jazzy, high-energyswirling tornado of techno genius. The eleventracks do not amount to sixty minutes of monotonyand repetition, but instead boldly explores newavenues of music by using the roots of almostevery other pop musical genre.
