Pluto

Pluto
"Pluto", that was me and Mark having a laugh in Spain. It was a day like this [hot and sticky], and we got a little amp outside and a keyboard and I just did all these really punk things, just really thinking heavy metal.

It’s about getting plastered, that need to destroy everything so you can start over again. Having a lot in the planet Pluto, which I do, means you want to cut the crap, throw all the rubbish away No extra baggage. It’s death and birth.

I did ‘Pluto’ on a synthesizer. Trying to be as hardcore as I could. Then Mark Bell added a beat to it.

Pluto
when i wrote pluto i had finished homogenic and felt it needed a cathartic explosive song at the end i had just bought my first nordlead, it was a sunny day in mountaine ous spain and put the synth on the balcony enjoying the view all the way to atrica i then recorded the different arpeggio synth riffs and wrote the melody and the lyric i then brought it into the studio and mark bell tidied up my synth riffs and put a beat underneath it eumir deodato then wrote the the string arrangement based on the notes in my backing vocals i would also like to thank matt robertson"s score preparation he did a marvellous job in notating my synth rifts and orchestrating them for this concert Soi guess this arrangement is a merge of my backing vocals and my nordlead synth riffs ? if that makes any...
