However that will be an enormous job to compile 12-15 reveals that symbolize every section of the band in the very best mild. It will be three-to-four months’ work. When am I going to try this? I believe it is one thing I’ll get to ultimately, however it could be at a time after I take a step again from making new work. And as you see, that is not taking place proper now.”
