How did you get in contact with Andy?
1992 when I saw him and his band "Gold Frankincense & Disk Drive" which included Guy Manning
Guy has worked with me often in the past, including guest appearances on Po90
albums, and full collaboration on the "No More Travelling Chess" project.
See for the whole story at www.guymanning.com or check this site ;-)
How was the idea born that members of the Flower Kings should be involved?
Andy played a few gigs with them in the past.
Did you actually played together?
Yes we did some of the parts in my studio.
Was there enough interaction to the scandinavian boys? Was there room to
change things by them?
They changed things alot once they heard the demos and Roine made a very active
contribution to all aspects of the album.
Did it need a different approach to record then useally?
Yes we had to send it away and put our parts on remotely ..not all together and
we had to discuss the results alot!.
Is there a change will see you all do the Tangent project live?
It would be nice BUT very difficult ot get all of the players together to
rehearse and perform it.
It is clearly that The Music That Died Alone is music that has it roots to
the past and this music has influencend you all.
Where bands like Genesis, Yes and Van de Graaf Generator the bands that had
formed you?
Andy & love this type of music and wanted nothing more than to be a part of the
whole history of it and now we are ...
Are there any other projects planned?
Andy & I are writing a 25min piece for the Colossus "Spaghetti project" at the moment.
Andy is considering what a Tangent #2 would be like!
Hope this is OK Guy
