LFO new album on warp

Definitely one I'm looking forward to..
If the track 'Millionaire Dogs' from the warp sampler earlier this year is anything to go by, it will be a good listen.

Anyhow here's the info and some interview blah.

--------------------
The long awaited new album from LFO is here. "Sheath" is released on 22nd September 2003, preceded by a single in August that will make you "Freak". All design is by the Designers Republic.
This is the first LFO record since 1996's "Advance", and reflects what Mark Bell has been up to in the intervening years...


Mark Bell in conversation with Bill Brewster:

On co-producing Björk’s Homogenic, which included working with legendary Brazilian producer/keyboardist Eumir Deodato:
"I really enjoy producing, as in thinking how someone’s song would make me like it, then actually putting that into practice."
"You also meet some brilliant people like Deodato. He’d just wear his pyjamas all day playing the stock market on his computer, but when he was young he’d be a true playa with loads of bikini girls on his sleeves."

On producing Depeche Mode ("Exciter") and the chance to work with true heroes:
"I felt a bit odd when Depeche Mode were asking me for days off or what they should eat," he confesses. "I used to be into them when I was 12 and now I am deciding what food they’re going to eat? They were really fun though, But doing my own thing is more rewarding as there is no compromise, it’s just me."

Might the lack of Vocal presence on "Sheath" be a reaction to working with so many vocalists?:
"It’s definitely a reaction. Björk is an amazing vocalist and I always compare other people to her range and feeling which is a bit stupid of me, but I’ve been spoilt really. Most demos that I get sent with vocals I find pretty hard work. I prefer the synths to sing on this one."

Describe your record in three words:
"L...F.....O..."

Mark still lives for that great moment, the one that makes the hairs stand to attention on your nape:
"I remember hearing Schoolly D’s ‘Saturday Night’ and Grandmaster Flash’s ‘Adventures On The Wheels Of Steel’ and just getting all moist! I still get those feelings when I hear a ‘special’ track. That’s what I live for really, hearing or making a ‘special’ track."

So has anything changed from starting out to getting here today?:
"I’ve got some pubes. I can cook a bit and I read the Sunday papers."

Fuck. Sorry for the doublepost.
Delete one please slug/anyone.
