Who are you? "I'm a good, clean-living lad. I've calmed down recently. I've stopped drinking and gone back to the things I was interested in before, like psychology.

"Then there's "The Road Less Travelled", a general psychology of ways to find happiness. Am I happy? Definitely. I was fairly anti-social as a kid; then, when I went to University, I went to the opposite extreme, and spent a whole year socialising. By the end, I was sort of... losing it.
"I'm OK now. Me and Paul just stay in and play around with our 24-track recording console, exploring the limitless possibilities of the studio..."
