1. Describing the influence of nature on their art, Mike and Marcus told the following story about the production of "Rue the Whirl":

"There's this track on the album called "Rue The Whirl", where you can hear birds singing. What happened was that I was listening to the track, and, oddly, I could hear birds singing. Then I realized that the window was open in the studio, and since the birdsong went so well with the music, we recorded it to capture the feel of what we experienced listening with the window open" (Virgin Megaweb Magazine, 1998)
