I'm The Artist Formally Known As Beck.

When I Pull Out Vinyl - Which Isn't That Often Anymore - It's Undeniable That I Get A Different Feeling. There's A Different Physiology Happening Between The Sound Waves And The Body That Doesn't Happen With Music Playing Off The Computer.

When I Did "top Of The Pops" For The First Time, Ace Of Base Was One Of The Other Bands, And I Have A Memory Of Them On A Small Stage Next To Me In The Tv Studio. A Memory Of Their Performance Is Burned Into My Mind. Seared.

[early On,] The Attitude Was That What I Was Doing Wasn't Music.

It Gets A Little Bit Troublesome When You Have Something That's Overcompressed That Shouldn't Be.

I Think I Gave Indications Early On That Mine Wasn't Just Going To Be A Commercial, Er, Career. If That Were The Case, Then The First Record Would Have Been 10 Versions Of 'loser.' I Always Thought It Would Be Interesting If There Was No Such Thing As Gold And Platinum Records, Or Record Deals, And People Were Just Making Music. What Would The Music Sound Like?
