Anil Prasad interviewed guitarist Phil Manzanera for his Innerviews website about Roxy Music, his solo career and the neverending quest for exploring new sounds:
I've got a constant desire to do new things and to see what is in this strange thing called the mind. It’s quite a complex piece of human equipment, which at nighttime goes berserk and takes you all over the place in the strangest possible way. And you wake up thinking, "What was that?"
One way of channeling that creatively is in doing music that doesn't rely on you writing it, but rather focusing on improvised music, and just seeing what comes out. And it's always been a bit like that for me in terms of my desire to just play and not think about it, and then see what happens.
