...TH: Yeah, especially King Tubby, that kind of stuff. The Clash, of course. And then I kind of took a step back from what I think of as guitar-based music, when hip-hop started to kick off and got into that and then techno and a lot of electronic music. Kraftwerk were massive influences. I got into Detroit techno, especially early Detroit techno, Chicago house, and then I think it got a bit lame, it got a bit boring, and it got a bit obvious, and that's when I started going back to guitar-based stuff and Jesus...
...TH: That's the good thing, we really don't know. I mean, the last track we did was a completely live 12-piece thing in the studio, and it sounds like an old Stax record--it's called "One More Time"--and, well, that's the fun thing. We might start off with a noise, an acid noise, something like that, and do a four-to-the-floor beat on it, and then you go "no, it needs live drums," so you get live drums, and guitars, but still keep it acid music...
...TH: Repetition, definitely. That can be found in many different kinds of music. You got dub, where it's so stripped down it just goes down to repeating bass line and drums. Dub and acid house, where you'll just repeat a riff...
...TH: Yeah, and when you repeat something, and you repeat it and repeat it and repeat it, even if you just change it subtly, the changes become more apparent. It's just trance music, really. It's not trance in that, you know, Paul Oakenfold-style trance music, but it's trance-inducing music...
...TH: There's a band called Clinic--I don't know if you've ever heard of them--they're an English band. If you can get a copy, check it out, because it's like Beach Boys meets Suicide, but they've got a girl singer. It's punk as well, but it's very, very modern sounding. I've been playing that a lot. I actually just gave that away the other day to someone who hadn't heard...
