Clipping from 2005 interview for Japanese blog HRFQ
HRFQ : Sounds good man. For fans in Japan who may not be that familiar with your music, can you - in a nutshell- map out the major points of your career ? Those moments when you thought, 'yeah', 'I'm going somewhere, things are happening'.Cristian : What alcoholics term 'moments of clarity' ! ha ha You are asking me to remember the moments of clarity over the last 15 years. Well, I mean I think for music fans in Japan, if they are interested in lil' old me, 'cos I am not that important really, but if they wanted to spend a week researching me the best thing to do is to go through each vinyl that I made, - 'cos I made a lot of records- , or at least go through the albums. And each album marks clearly the technology I was able to use at that time, what was being made and my personal ideas and beliefs and philosophies. I mean I tend to use those albums myself, almost like a diary. I mean sometimes i look back and think what the fuck was that about, what was going on when I made that. And sometimes, for sure, I can reminisce about what was on an album, but from a third party point of view you can look at a record and go 'thats really interesting'. And I think for any artist not just me, if you go back and listen to the first album, and compare to the last album then you listen to them both I think that is a really good way of enjoying an artist. Thats what i would suggest.
