Kraftwerk – Trans-Europe Express
I guess there’s going to be a few electronic artists who have this in their list isn’t there? But they have that standing and importance which keeps them relevant.

Pillars of a kind of electronic canon?

Yeah, and when you think of them, they kind of appear like pillars, like structures or something. When I first started playing properly going on tours and travelling in Europe, this was the music that soundtracked that time and that landscape – the view out of the window of a van or train. In some ways, this new album of mine is an attempt to escape that influence - the totally industrial, metronomic music. I’m always trying to find a way of introducing the organic. Trying to find a synthesised whole.
