 It’s how I like to feel when listening to this type of music, there shouldn’t be any sun though, and no one with you, otherwise the magic of music of this kind turns into a pain-inducing dirge.

 "Stains on Silence" was a real flop on all levels, a "commercial suicide" Colin Newman of Wire would have said.
