I've been working with Brian Eno on the music for a ballet by choreographer Philippe Decoufle. Some of that involved responding to the dancers and visuals which was inspiring and very fluid, but at other times we had to work on headphones and try to ignore everything around us. It was pitch black, stiflingly hot and poor Brian's computer kept crashing. But we did quite a few good pieces from scratch and for me it was a complete privilege to be involved in a project like that. Brian is so fascinating to work with. A lot of the things he plays sound almost comical on their own and then suddenly there appears a fullyformed, incredibly original and coolsounding track. Also weve worked together long enough now that I can quickly gauge what he wants, and correctly interpret guidelines like A bit more sour alien funk."

I wrestled with my conscience over this one as they always seemed like bloodthirsty loonies to me, but on closer inspection of their literature I was slightly reassured. Then from the stage I spotted one of the stewards wielding a large pole with a stuffed badger impaled on the end of it. I decided to donate half my fee to the League Against Cruel Sports. A few days after that was my first proper rehearsal for the Roxy Music tour. My role seems to be supplying lots of the strange textures and parts on the albums. Bryan has a reputation of being difficult to work with, but that is not the case at all. He knows what he likes, and is not afraid of telling you what he doesn't, which is extremely useful. At one point a look of deep worry changed into one of childish joy as I edited a sound to his specifications. 'Oh, this is going to be really good' he said. I got bashful and said 'I aim to please'. He shot back with 'Good, I aim to be pleased!' I burst out laughing. He didn't."

Very exciting to see two slices of that suave buccaneer of the high seas, Mr Bryan Ferry, on the new pirate based double album coming up soon. No sign of Eno providing us with 17 minutes worth of ambient Parrot squawk or somesuch nonsense on the album either! Set sail! Hurrah!
