en I love a lot of reggae, but I've never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys.

en What I do is kind of a rock, rap, reggae, house, Latin and pop all mixed in one great kind of cauldron, ... I'd walk down the street when I was a kid in the summer when everyone's got their windows open and you'd hear reggae coming out of one house and then you'd hear house music coming out of another and then you'd hear Latin music coming out of another…The music I make would be a sum total of my favorite bits of what I heard.

en Mainly because I'd already been paid on it . . . and paid pretty good. I felt this ain't right. I could take the money and run and laugh about it. But I was also listening to these songs all the time. I knew that the music was good and as far as I know it had never been done before, mixing country and reggae. I immediately saw that it worked. I think a lot of people will do that now that they see a good country melody really works well with a reggae rhythm.

en My club reggae shows were going very good. Every show I did was selling out, ... Barry said 'Why don't you take a bunch of these bands and take them up to Red Rocks?' I said 'Barry, that's never going to work. There's no way to sell that many tickets for reggae.'

en Coming from Tribulations, which had more of a rock sound, I think Kevin wanted to get back to more of a (roots reggae) sound. A lot of the early '60s and '70s Jamaican music based itself off the Motown sound, and that was the big thing for Kevin: the vocal harmony and the composition.

en Freshman year we traveled to Jamaica and had our heads turned around by that reggae rhythm. It was just after Bob Marley returned to his home country after the assassination attempt and self-exile; the country was exploding with reggae.

en I realized very early on . . . that (Marley) was going to be one of the most important singers in the world. He was the one that broke through and took reggae music global.

en Twelve years ago me and Allanah became really sick of writing pop songs, ... Eventually we dug a grave for the Thompson Twins, pushed them in there, and then moved to New Zealand. Before that I'd lived for a long time in south London where reggae was the music of the streets around me. You'd hear it booming out of people's windows and shops, and you could buy great old reggae singles for 50p (NZ$1.30) in second hand shops. I'd always loved that sound, so soon after we got here I started making electronic dub records with my mate Rakai Karaitiana as International Observer.

en We stopped doing the 'elevator music' thing almost three decades ago. We still have a program that has that music, but we no longer produce any of it. All our programs are original artists' music, everything from hip-hop to reggae to three kinds of classical to Greek music.

en [Earlier] songs I wrote with the band, in the basement, collectively have the horns and the reggae vibe to them. These songs, I went and wrote, like, SONG-songs. Now, I'm writing again, and I'm back to the reggae stuff. It was really like a moment in time.
