Rob

great video! makes you wonder why there isn't a interview-dvd like Gary has made yet

p.s. managed to record this

Thanks Rob - That's a really interesting and informative interview.

Brilliant! Thanks ever so much, Rob.

Solid interview, highly enjoyed that! Foxx is so soothing when he speaks. =P

This is a superb little film. Love it.

Brilliant! As Fons mentioned he really should do a DVD and talk about his career and the albums he has made etc, it would make fascinating viewing.

Brilliant little film. When operating the CR-78, you can see its very hard for him to keep composure and not just jump about with unbridled glee! Superb. I hope this is made available - a welcome extra on the forthcoming Roundhouse DVD perhaps?

I totally agree - not enough has been said on film about John's work, particularly albums like Shifting City, TPOE and the earlier work.

Very good indeed.

I'd definitely like to see more of that sort of thing.

Just watched this a moment ago. what a fantastic piece. Johns comments about his motivation with emotion in music and his uninhibited joy when listening to the drum-machine - together with Benge's obvious love for the treasures in the studio - all of which really made this little film something special.

This was really lovely. I like the quote about how "the mission for this generation [is] to hear what digital actually sounds like without imitating analog." As others have mentioned, you can really see the joy and happiness they get from playing with this equipment.

All I want in life is every detail of how Metamatic was made, every song, how he felt, what happened, what Ballard he read..that sorta thing. Dvd? Howsabout a proper book? I'd try and write it with him anytime.

Maybe we should start a campaign to get the The Garden played live in its entirety? Or am I a bit behind here?

..and yes, brilliant interview. In fact, best yet for me. Gear...

That would get my vote too!
