We didn't have label and we just began recording and naturally with a drummer, I was like - " OK let's start recording drums ". So we did that and we started building tracks. Then Lucia and Raymond kinda got involved writing the lyrics. We started sending material to Raymond in London right around the Christmas. He was working on his WATTS project since PIG is not PIG anymore. It's called WATTS now. Anyways, he was working on his stuff and he was kinda slow delivering KMFDM stuff. So in May this year we had Raymond come to Seattle for a while and we finished recordings of vocals. After that we got a raw version of the album. We started mixing of the album. We went to Chicago for a month and we finished the album there.

Is Bill Rieflin involved in this tour. Is he now full time or part time member of KMFDM?

Bill was really involved on ATTAK and also we was playing bass on the STURM & DRANG Tour. He then got a job with REM and now he is a drummer on REM tour.

It's amazing. Bill Rielfin in an amazing person since he was involved with all huge names/bands from north American industrial scene. Only fact that he played bass for KMFDM on the last tour was very funny knowing him regularly being a drummer. What happened that time? Tim Skold didn't go on tour and Bill played bass instead?

Bill is a real musician. He is not only a drummer. He is everything and he understands the music from all different points of view then for example I do. Yeah, he can be a drummer for REM, someone else and he can still be associated with REVOLTING COCKS and MINISTRY. A musical chameleon.

So he will not be involved in this tour?

No, he is on tour with REM and that tour ends somewhere in November and then there is no point joining him for only week or two for KMFDM tour.

Is Chris Connelly going to be guest on this tour as he did on last tour in Chicago?

I have not spoken to Chris yet. But it's definitely possible. We may be playing " Rules " or something like that so, yeah, he might be there.

Do you have any plan or is there any chance you are going to do EXCESSIVE FORCE side project or something like that. I think you owe us that very much.

Well right now all the energy is focusing on KMFDM and we want go back to Europe. We signed with Sanctuary Records because we wanted a label that is strong both in the US and in Europe and the plan for next year is to seriously and intensively tour in Europe and to get back on the ground there. Who knows.. If Americans re-elect G.W.Bush in 2004, then I certainly do not want to stay here for sure.

What is your general opinion about Europe now regarding US domination in the world and in general?
