musikexpress - article & review (scans)
The August issue of the German music magazine musikexpress features a nice, one-page interview with James.
I tried to translate the most interesting quotes: "Nick, Richey and Sean have always been incredible good in suppressing my not-so-presentable musical influences. I have some likings that are frowned upon in the rock world - music by ELO, Badfinger, Tamla-Motown stuff. Now I have the opportunity to stress these influences more. For example: I have always been a big admirer of John Cale's solo debut Paris 1919. And I like the backing vocals on Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road incredibly much. I used to be ashamed of liking such stuff. Now I simply table those cards. When I make music myself it may as well sound less determined." "There are some things that are still wearing me down. For example the fact that there could be a review of my record in the newspaper. Especially as the writers can also dissect my lyrics now. So far I have only written the lyrics to one song, Ocean Spray. And that was more or less a coincidence. This time I needed to think about what I wanted to say from the beginning. For a long time that was unimaginable for me. Nick and Richey always wrote about things that they understood. In contrast, I write things in order to understand them and not because I understood them. That's an example for my insecurity." There is also a review of The Great Western, giving the album 4.5 out of 6 points, but the text is a bit cryptic!? Full-sized scans (yousendit): Article, Review
