Over the years, El Perro del Mar became this artist that, every record that came out, I just loved it.
When I was a kid and putting out my first records, there was a lot made out of the fact that the '50s/'60s generation was so dominant.
I'm a fan of music documentaries and I always love seeing what goes on behind the scenes. In kind of the new era of record companies and record releases and that sort of thing, there has to be way more content for the audience.
I've put out records over the years, whether it's with Blackfield or No-Man or Bass Communion or Porcupine Tree, that are pop records, ambient records, metal records, singer-songwriter records.
The groups I liked, you really looked forward to their albums and you rushed to get them the first day, because you knew it was going to be different than what they did before. The records told you what that group was into at that time.
I've been fortunate enough to always have plenty of work, offers to go out and play shows. The hardest thing I have to do is pick out which one I want. For some reason, there's a great demand out there, whether I've got a new record out or not.
I don't plan tours necessarily around records. I know that's what most people do.
I don't think I went a year or so without a record between 1959 and 1979, sometimes two.
My first record came out in 1961 and then I had one come out in 1962 and then I had two that came out in 1964.
I think basically lables were more interested in a Richard Page record than a Mr. Mister record.
