ChrisIt sounded great in the studio but when we took it home it sounded crap.

Neil  It was too slow. It was irritating -we were stuck with the original tempo. Trevor rapped at twice the speed and, unfortunately, I can't do that. I tried, in the privacy of my own home - at one point I was going to do Trevor's rap - but I eventually realised that I would never be able to do it. We asked Jam & Spoon to work with us on it, but they didn't like the song. We'd been approached to work with K-Klass and so we got them to produce it. They cam~ down to London from Manchester and spent a week or so doing it. They really did it all -they had their own programmer; keyboard player; engineer. They changed the music of the verse and I worked out how to get from that into the chorus. Sylvia Mason-James sings the chorus, and Chris does a bit at the end of most of the choruses, and at the end of the last verse. I like those bits.

ChrisI never like my bits. I've got a terrible voice.

Neil  It was very difficult thinking of all the words for this, and also thinking of the voice to do it in. Me rapping is a difficult issue in a way, because you always think of rapping in an American accent. I couldn't think of what to write the lyrics about if it was called 'Metamorphosis', and then I wrote the first two lines - 'please allow metro try and explain! I'm living proof that man can change' - and I suddenly thought, 'Oh, it can be about coming out - about not wanting to be gay and then being gay and all the rest of it'. And that's what it is. It's pretty much autobiographical. I like 'the long term suppression of an adolescent urge'. There's a quotation from the Beatles in it:

'somebody spoke and I went into a dream'. I thought it was good to say these things in a form of music which is considered rather macho. The thing about a rap song which I had never realised, which has given me a lot of respect for people who rap, is that they eat up an incredible amount of words.

ChrisMaybe this came a bit too soon on the album, but it's good.

Neil  Hidden in this album there's a New York dance album as well: 'Metamorphosis', 'Before', 'Saturday night forever', 'Electricity'.
