It was great fun. We had gone on tour in between the sessions and reconnected with the audience and got a lot of energy back from them, a lot of positive energy.

We're very lucky to be able to go back and reclaim something that was a very special part of all our lives.

We co-produced the album. I love working with Don Gilmore because he's a real band guy. He's worked with Linkin Park and Avril Lavigne. He really knows how to record instruments.

I lived a normal life for a number of years. I had kids. I lived up on a farm in Gloucestershire in rural England, and just kind of got back to reality again.

I like Target. I like the ones in the Midwest, personally. We don't really have those in England yet.

As Andy says, being in this band in the early 1980s made you feel like you were part of a pizza. We were always one of the band, one of Duran Duran, or one of the Taylors.

You never know how you're going to be received, after all this time. The initial response we had was just overwhelming, particularly that tour of the States.

I was burned out. I think I was just exhausted. It was a very intense five years. We didn't stop. It was constant touring, constant writing, recording.

I slowly started to drift back into music again. I finally got the call from John... about getting the band back together again. It was so out of the blue. I almost thought that the moment had passed.
