I'm enjoying being in the studio but sort of having to force myself to go in there because I'm tired from work and also feeling a bit lost with my mind and the direction of things. It's good just to let the work happen rather than forcing it, feeling under pressure from a deadline or...

Twenty four years on, I still love Arcadia's So Red The Rose . Only 8 vocal tracks, nearly flawless, and each simultaneously lush and angular. It was produced in 1985 by the late Alex Sadkin , who also produced Duran's Seven And The Ragged Tiger , and albums by Grace Jones and Thompson Twins.
