I’m paraphrasing as I can’t remember.

Porcupine is also my favourite Bunnymen record because of Shankar too, but also because it kind of does that thing that bridges the left field and pop. I particularly like the last three songs, although they’re less poppy. It also does a great job in letting Will Seargent’s guitar shine through – he has a great style and it’s less noticeable on the other records, particularly Ocean Rain, in which the production swamps it.

I think the point about everything in the early 80s being a synth is spot on… I only really learnt how guitars sounded at the end of the 80s.

It definitely wasn’t me fiddling with my Mac during recording.
