March 1995: I got my first proper job in London after working part-time for a local Welsh newspaper. I'd landed a position as a Multimedia Designer and worked on CD-Roms (remember them?) in a great building full of interesting creatives. I only managed about 18 months there before the CD-Rom market bottomed out and everyone was made redundant. Any way, back then while pottering about in my lunch hour, I came across this door that had always intrigued me. I'd seen ponderous people walking in and out of there on many occassions and it just added to my curiosity. I walked through it, then down a small corridor, and then in to a sound proofed box room. There amongst the grey foam absorbers lay a Roland JV-80, a Spirit folio 16-Trk, PowerMac 8800 and Opcode MusicShop sequencing software (the American choice over Cubase - I was later told).
I hadn't made any proper Music for at least 2 years, so I didn't hesitate in booking the room out for a bit of extra curricular overtime one Saturday. I made 2 tracks that day, the other one to come at a later date.

It makes me think about some kind of chase scene from 'The Equalizer'.
