Original Text[edit]
pg.22:
どの曲が「The Campfire Headphase 」の中で一番アルバムを象徴していますか？
Mike「Dayan Cowboy」。それがたぶんみんなを一番驚かす曲だと思う。なぜってイント口がすっごく長くて、何が起きるかを全然匂わせないのに、突然動き出すっていう、ギターの震音とストリングがいっぱい入ったかなりワイルドな曲だからさ。恐らく僕らの音楽を知ってる人たちは、その曲に一番びっくりしてしまうだろうね。
pg. 23:
以前にスタジオでギターを使った作業をしたことはあったんですか？
Mike実は「Twoism」をレコーディングする直前が僕らのターニングポイントだったんだ。それまではアルバム全体がギターをかなりふんだんに使ったものになっていてね。94年から95年の間prの年は恐らく10カ月はこういう、Killing Jokeのような音楽に影響されたものを当時作ろうとしてたんだ。とても暗いやつ。その後そういうものとの重大な分かれ目にぶち当たり、本当にスムトレスになってきて、全部ボツにしてすぐ直感的に何か他のことをすることに決めたんだ。本当にクシンプルな電子音楽やミニマルをやりたかったのにさ。そして、なるべく空っぽでゆったりとした感じにしようとして、そうしてできたのが「Twoism」シなんだ。

Which song in The Campfire Headphase best represents the album?
Mike: "Dayvan Cowboy". I think that will probably be the song that surprises everyone the most. That’s because the intro is really long, and it doesn’t give any hint of what’s going to happen, but then suddenly it starts moving. It’s quite a wild song, filled with guitar tremolos and strings. I think people who know our music will be most surprised by that song.
Have you ever worked with a guitar in the studio before?
Mike: Actually, just before recording Twoism was our turning point. Until then, the entire album had used a lot of guitars. Between ’94 and ’95, we were probably trying to create music influenced by bands like Killing Joke for about 10 months. It was very dark. After that, we hit a significant fork in the road and things became really seamless. We decided to scrap everything and immediately started doing something else intuitively. We really wanted to create very simple electronic music or minimal music. We aimed for something as empty and relaxed as possible, and that resulted in Twoism.
