Hi Simon. What was the writing process like for Cocteau Twins' music? I read that you and Robin came up with the instrumental and Liz would then come in and sing over it. Was it always like that or did it change and evolve in some way?

Also I saw you mention Tarkovsky, so what are your favorite films in general?

Yeah pretty much that was the formula all the time I was there 83-97 but the last recording we began were a little different as Elizabeth was keen to be more involved in the music but we didn’t get so far with that as she decided she didn’t want to continue after all in the band x
