Karl: That’s really difficult to say because it’s Rick who does the remixes. I mean I know he agonizes over them, I know he locks himself away and will go to the point of despair sometimes. The last two pieces that he did before kind of coming back with Born Slippy just recently was “Barrel Of A Gun” by Depeche Mode, and there was a track with Goldie and the Metalheadz and you know, he was lost, he was seriously lost up until the eleventh hour. And then, as he inevitably does, he kind of rewrites the whole thing and makes a new piece of music and finds another perspective, which is always what he’s looking for, the other perspective. And then again, it’s in the eleventh hour he will come up with the goods.
RS: Is there a vocalist that you’d like to work with that you haven't been working with yet?
Karl: I don’t know, we always invite friends to speak on our records and to speak my words, which we’ve done that since on Skyscraper I Love You. Because we meet people with such interesting voices, particularly people who come from non-English speaking countries and when they speak English they speak it in such a beautiful way that that intrigues us. So we’ve often had friends record voices onto our records, and that’s something we’re likely to keep doing. Working with Bono has been really stimulating, you know, really inspiring, and that’s something that we’d like continue doing.
RS: This is goofy question a friend of mine sent me, she’s just dying to know, boxers or briefs?
Karl: Well, we just have to leave that one to the imagination.
RS: OK, I’ll tell her that.
Karl: I’m sure somebody knows out there.
