This transcription of an article from the June 1996 issue of Sound on Sound magazine discusses the making of Wild Mood Swings. "[The album] also saw the band making greater use of computers than previously. Having been away for five years, Roger O'Donnell was particularly well-placed to notice this change: 'When I left the group in 1990, there wasn't a computer in sight. I came back, and there's computers everywhere. We've really started using sequencing - all the keyboard parts have gone though it [Cubase Score for Macintosh]. The use of a string quartet and brass section is a strange contrast!'"
"Strange, perhaps, but Cubase Score proved a considerable help when it came to communicating with the classical players. Smith: 'It's been good using the Core package, because anything I play in can actually come out as musical score. Audrey would then hand-write it for the players, but it's really excellent, because you can instantaneously change pieces. Before, it was like trying to put your ideas over in another language.'"
