"It's about sleight of hand, where you're revealing things and then pulling
them back. It's that sort of dynamic. But I think that's Hip Hop: the whole
attitude of wanting to do people's heads in a little bit but also give them
something that they'll really appreciate comes from that - Mantronix to
early Bomb Squad --- where there were little tricks in there, and you knew
the producer had stuck them in there because he knew it would do people's
heads in. And it'd be like: fucking hell, how did he do that? Or, that's a
totally mad thing to do with your track. But it didn't suffer because it
wasn't. . ." Rob: "Wasn't a showcase for those ideas." Sean: "It was part
of the flow and it worked. That's it really. That's how we've started
describing it now."
"I think a lot of people, when they're constructing complex music, have
this idea that for something maddeningly complex to change into something
else that's maddeningly complex you've got to do it suddenly," says Sean.
"But there are millions of ways you can do it, because you can have your
entire track changing piece by piece as it rotates, and that's what we're
into We like things like a puzzle where it's revealing itself and changing.
And you can almost follow it, because it works the same pace as your brain
works. The trick is not to get it to work faster or slower, but to get it
in tune with yourself. And obviously there are some people who work faster
than that, and they'll hear it and think this is boring, and there are
people who work slower than that, and they'll think this is too much. For
us it's the right pace."
