You don't always have to compromise yourself to be successful. Of course, that's what most bands say, but at least these guys attempt to put their own spin on the tired old riff. Perhaps it's working all the more because we don't compromise. Because we have control, because we have the ability to do it contractually, it can give ideas to artists and record companies that they can do it the same way. The playing with masks is just to make it funnier.
Pictures can be boring.
We don't want all the rock n' roll poses and attitudes - they are completely stupid and ridiculous today. Perhaps it's the current mood within the European dance scene, which as it approaches maturity is beginning to obsess over its roots and ancestry. Perhaps it's because, coming relatively late to house and techno, they feel a burden of debt to those who blueprinted the genres - especially since they have enjoyed more economic success than many of those innovators. This background is very important. Some people see The Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, Future Sound Of London, maybe us, as something completely new, but it's nothing that didn't exist before.
