Funny. I’ve just met Barry Smith from previous Add N to (X) fame about what he’s up at the moment. This is one of those Mute Records bands that I used to be really into when I started out as a music journalist. Typical punk ethic, sniffing around skips looking for old electronic equipment to use in the studio – sneering at the pop aesthetic. Yeah man, who needs music spoon-fed to you!
Just the kind of music that my mates hated when I played it to them.
Still, little known fact: when I used to work at www.ministryofsound.com their Plug Me In video was the most watched video ever. The fact that it featured two scantily clad ladies, a bedroom and an assortment of ‘toys’ had nothing to do with it whatsoever – honest.
Anyway, had a coffee and a chat. Good times.
