Midge Ure quotes
" And when I started, I also programmed the drum machines with the intention of taking them off and replacing them with acoustic drums. "

Midge Ure
" At the beginning of this album I discovered the computer and had great fun playing with the thing. And I realized that, not being a good keyboard player, I could write things in very small sections, give them a certain feel and mess about with bends on the keyboard. "

Midge Ure
" But the guitar is my favorite, first and foremost instrument. "

Midge Ure
" I didn't want to be stuck to rigid tempos. I mean, a band should speed up and slow down. They shouldn't do it too much, but they do. "

Midge Ure
" I got my first keyboard only 10 years ago or so, and I'm still far from being able to understand what I'm doing on it. "

Midge Ure
" I start with the subject matter I want to write about. Then I make a musical base for that and create an atmosphere with the music. Once I've done that, the lyrics come last. "

Midge Ure
" I'm still very, very basic with synthesizers and things. l can make them do what I want them to do, but a guitar is how I express myself I suppose. "

Midge Ure
" In the music industry, you meet some not very nice people, some very strange characters. "

Midge Ure
" It sounds Mick Karn-ish until you hear Mick play again. And then it doesn't sound anything like Mick Karn, 'cause Mick does strange harmonies on the guitar, which I couldn't possibly do. "

Midge Ure
" So I concentrated on the rhythmic side of things, and therefore left a lot of holes. I didn't want to use big pad chords everywhere. All of the songs are built up of small melodies and counter melodies all played very rhythmically. "

Midge Ure
" You are talking to a man who can only play a plastic keyboard. Give me anything weighted and I've had it. I haven't got the strength in my fingers to push them down. So I don't get a lot of expression on the keyboard. "

Midge Ure
" You know, most wars are based on religion. Religions fight each other because they are trying to out-do each other. Everyone's got it right, but they can't all have it right because they are all so radically different. You know, one religion can't be any better than the other religion. "

Midge Ure
" You think that religion is a thing that is there to help you and to see you through life, and then you wake up one morning and find the entire Irish situation, the civil war that's based on religion. "
