  4. What direction is the band going in on 'Only When I Lose Myself'?
  5. Were you aware in the early days of how much freedom Mute and Daniel Miller gave you?
  6. 'Dreaming Of Me' was the first single. At the time was that the extent of your ambition?
  7. When you look back at stuff like 'New Life' or 'Just Can't Get Enough' is it just good nostalgia, or is there any squirming at all?
