Great find Al!
Thanks. This is exactly how he was when I got to pester the hell out him in NY
some 15 years ago. So effusive and practically giddy to talk in depth about the
creative and recording processes. So much better than the more celebrity
oriented BS most journalists try to dive into!
Something I lucked out on (besides getting to hear that 1st tape he made in his
living room that still has not been released) was delving into how he and Marc
would discuss in depth before recording and again during the mixing stage about
establishing a unique sound & feel for each different album project. Great
stuff about Bowie projects and their interactions too. The cool thing about
this interview is he gets into the weeds about particular tricks he used to
create the common feel to EW given all the different recording sessions and
studios. He has similar unique stories for Unicorn, Brown, Slider & Tanx. (Yes
I picked his brain on each of them). The most surprising thing to me was how
intentional it was and how much they would try out stuff up front to bounce
ideas off each other to get ideas dialed in ahead of time. He told me, and it
comes out in this interview a bit) that EW was different in that their
experience in the LA studio, especially following how Mambo came out was to
capture that ‘feel' on all the stuff they recorded for the next album (that
became EW).
