G : With Black Celebration, which is for me the darkest album of DM, were you really involved in the sound of DM at that time? Alan : I was involved in each album. As time went by , the more i got involved . At the beginning of their career , it was more Daniel Miller. With Black Celebration , it was difficult to say why this one was really special , more than MFTM. I think it was the last album produced by the time made of myself, Gareth Jones and Daniel Miller. There was lot of tension between each of us at that time. It was a difficult relation in the studio . And with the rest of the band.and what that's what makes comes out the tension in this album. There are lot of good things in it. It was the last time we worked with Daniel Miller. He learned a lot from the band. And each of us learned more about production. A good combination of people. G : Because that was the last album produced by Daniel Miller. Alan
: It was difficult and good at the same time. JB
: I don't know ... Alan : It's the same thing in fact . It's just the name , if it's me it will be Recoil. I can't give you an answer. It depends , if people ask me to do something specific and interesting that could be outside the project Recoil. JB : Are you interested in producing another artist or doing remixes ? Alan : I get asked to do some things. But I refuse. I worked with Curve , on some arrangements. Most of the things people asked me to do are not interesting. Because people expect me to do something close to what I did with DM. Like industrials bands, I don't find much interest to product such bands. I don't want to spend my energy for someone else. I prefer to focus my energies on my own compositions. That doesn't mean I won't do it , if something comes at me and that I 'd like it , why not? JB , G : we have to leave now , thanks a lot for everything |
