"...My main working partner on Commercial Suicide was John Bonnar, a composer who knew nothing about pop music or multitracking before this. He was writing arrangements for instruments he'd never worked with before - he'd only worked with dots on lines - so it was pure excitement for him. But when we got to actually making the record, we realised we didn't know how to do it. With pop music you do the drums or a click-track first, and if you're not using drums you do the bass, so we started with the bass. We used four DXs, a Mirage and a Roland, MIDI'd together to make the fattest noise I could imagine."
