You can’t imagine a more different - in terms of two decades next to each other - two decades being more different musically and philosophically than the ’70s and ’80s. The root of Insurgentes was in the ’80s and the root of Grace for Drowning was the early 70s. Pepper explosion in creative, ambitious album-oriented music. No one called it progressive rock at the time, but the generation of bands that came out of the post Sgt. This new music comes from my love of the music that I went back and discovered – going back into the ’70s and late ’60s and discovering music from the so-called original explosion of progressive rock. My music then started from my love for that music. In the case of Insurgentes, that album was very much rooted in my love of the music that I grew up with and that was actually happening at the time in the ’80s, the so-called post punk bands (the Cure, Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance). Thank you. I think the main difference between Insurgentes and Grace for Drowning is the core of where the music is rooted. Could you talk a little bit about what drove this departure? To start off, I wanted to wish you a very belated congratulations on the new release. It’s apparent almost immediately that this is a very different record than Insurgentes in terms of style, production and content.
