Karl Hyde from Underworld talks (a tiny bit) about his experience working at Paisley Park

In the February 2020 issue of UK music monthly Q Magazine, Karl Hyde and Rick Smith from Underworld ask questions went in by readers:

Cash For Questions

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

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

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