I'm Not Particularly Prolific.

As Part Of Depeche Mode, I Don't Think It's Right For Me To Be Using My Own Songs For A Solo Project. I'm Not A Very Prolific Songwriter, So I Keep Those For Depeche Mode.

You Make One Solo Album, And Some People Swear You're About To Leave The Band Or There Are Creative Differences.

I Want People To Feel Good About Listening To This [delta Machine] Record, To Get Some Kind Of Peace. It's Just Got Something Magical About It.

I Wanted To Keep The Music Very Electronic, Very Filmic, And Give It An Almost Sci-fi Like Quality. Music Is A Necessity For Me. I Go Into The Studio At Least Five Days A Week, Every Week, So Once I Had The Idea And The Template, The Process Was Quick And Fun.

I Started Getting Back Into Buying Old Analog Gear While We Were Recording. Lots Of Old Drum Machines And Synths. It Wasn't A Conscious Thing. I Didn't Consider Myself A Collector, But Boxes Of Vintage Gear Would Turn Up Virtually Every Day.
