Track by track with Blame

Sirenoid (Creation)

“I was trying to come up with a name of a robot that sounded like it had power. I was toying with names and pieced two things together – ‘siren’ and ‘android’ – to make something quite menacing.

“This track links with the last track. They were meant to run into each other. With Creation you’d hear all these noises of a robot coming alive and starting to walk, then as it walks, it becomes a beat and the bassline comes in. It was kinda like a robot becoming the beat of a track.

“I wanted the track to kick in and pay it all off. But when I handed the album in, the label, kinda off their own back, made that one change and split this into two tracks, with the ‘Prologue’ at the end. I would have liked the chance to morph it nicely, instead of it being abruptly cut, which is kind of what they did.”
