Karl, what was it like working in Paisley Park in the ’80s?

KH: Gosh. It’s a bit of car crash of emotions here because it was a time and place thing again. If I talk about the legend of it, it’s discounting the fact that we were apart, I was unsure about where things were going, I was a bit messed up in my head. I was drinking horribly and it was a very dark time for me, but then you talk about the legend… Prince was putting together The New Power Generation and rehearsing in the room next door. I met The JB’s and Sheila E. All of that becomes “Oh hey woo-hoo!” Fortunately I had a very good friend called Andrew Flashman who looked after me – he literally saved my life one night – and thankfully I came home and saw a bit of common sense.

Never knew he worked at Paisley Park. I only know a handful of their songs but I adore their song Two Months Off. The keyboard part has a strong 1999 vibe to it. It has very uplifting effect on me.

Great video too.

Interesting. I saw Underworld live last month in amsterdam, they were amazing. Never knew there was some kind of connection with prince.

Before Underworld were Underworld they were a band with a symbol for a name, which was pronounced "Freur": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freur

Imagine you work on songs while prince is rehearsing next to you.

Hyde was a session guitarist at the time, worked with Berlin among others.
