Every Band I Knew Or

When I Did "top Of The Pops" For The First Time, Ace Of Base Was One Of The Other Bands, And I Have A Memory Of Them On A Small Stage Next To Me In The Tv Studio. A Memory Of Their Performance Is Burned Into My Mind. Seared.

There's A Perception That If An Artist Produces Another Artist, They're Going To Imprint On Them. But I'm The Opposite. I Want To Hear That Artist; I Don't Want To Hear Me - That's The Last Thing I Want To Hear. There Are A Lot Of Technical Studio Things I've Learned Or Figured Out, And I Feel Like I Could Use Those Things To Help Other People With What They're Doing.

I Think You Have To Keep A Childlike Quality To Play Music Or Make A Record.

There Are Certain Records That You Love Because The Songs Are Great, But You Don't Go To Them As An Example Of Great Production.

I'm Always Looking For Older Equipment And Ways Of Recording, But You Can't Escape The Fact That It's All Going To Be Digitized And Reduced. I Do Think Music Sounds Better When It's On Tape And More Simply Recorded. I've Been Arguing With People For 10 Years About Tape Versus Digital, And I Believe Tape Is Absolutely Essential In Getting The Sound That's Conducive To The Enjoyment Of Music. I Wonder If It's Going To Go Back To That. Sometimes I Think It Has To. As Music Becomes More Computer-based, It's Lost Some Emotional Impact.
