I looked long and hard at third films in series to see if there were any good ones that I could learn from. And there weren’t any that hadn’t just gone off the train tracks by their third film. Until, that is, I got to the third ‘Lord of the Rings’ film.

The tracks on ‘Sleep’ were recorded live to 2-track. I did a fadeout or two of them, but that’s really it.
In the late ’80s and early ’90s, there was a slightly retro drum sound that was popular in hip-hop music called the 808 bass drum sound. It was the bass drum sound on the 808 drum machine, and it’s very deep and very resonant, and was used as the backbone as a lot of classic hip-hop tracks.
No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.

There are so many forms of soul: David Bowie was soulful as hell; Johnny Cash was soulful as hell; you also have a Prince, a Stevie Wonder. I want to bring my perception of that and not live inside the box of, ‘This is the type of tracks you get,’ ‘This is the type of drums you get.’
If you made a record, I’d probably pick out tracks that I like and download that. That’s just how it is.

We don’t really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It’s not some I usually – I can’t really talk about other people’s tracks never mind my own.
Having blown up my own long-term marriage via an extramarital affair, followed by a traumatic divorce, I tend to think of love as less a gently glowing hearth than a set of flaming train tracks you strap yourself onto.
My whole thing, to keep myself interested – and, you know, I’m a huge hip-hop head – I have tons and tons of a cappellas. So I do these live remix mash-ups with my tracks and just throw them in there.
I have an obsession with making an album rather than a collection of tracks. For me it’s like making a film – it’s the perfect length of time to tell a story.

I use whatever it takes to make the tracks identify what me and Guru are all about.
