Choose Your Weapon - (Paul Bender) Commentary

One of my other favourites would definitely be the

The intro track, "Choose Your Weapon"

That was really fun putting that together

'Cause that was

I don't know, it all started because of a keyboard that uhm, Simon bought

That just does that sound at the start of the record

It's just like a in-built sort of feature

But you can just do that crazy sweep thing

And as soon as he sort of got it and he just discovered that

We were just in the studio together and he did it

And I was just like, "Woah"

And then we kind of like, "We should start the record like that"

I mean it's kind of like a total like Dolby THX ripoff

Like definitely not done as well as Dolby

But it's just our little sort of like

Kind of homage to that sort of moment

You know what I mean?

It's like you're turning the machine on and it's like coming to life

And you just know, you have that feeling like some shit's gonna go down

And I don't know, it's an interesting track

'Cause it's just made out of just so many little pieces

And, and we sort of

It's something that we all kind of threw, composed together over time

Like just getting from, you know, that sort of the machine turning on

And then going to this sort of magical world and this little playful world

With like the kids toys sort of saying all the different animals and everything

And then into that really like, dirty groove and all that

Those drums from a totally different session

So just sort of like, we all

It sort of almost builds itself over time

From all these like things that we'd collected, you know?

It's almost like a kind of strange summary of like

Almost like an overture without playing any of the things

It's like we're just

These are all the places that we're gonna go, you know, like

We're gonna go into this video game

We're gonna go into like, you know, into this magic cloud

And we're gonna

There's gonna be some bits that are actually kind of funny
