Kerrang!: When did you start making the album?
Dave: "We started rehearsing the songs this time last year, but Gavin actually finished demo-ing the songs in April '98. We began recording in the autumn using three London studios: Westside, Mayfair, and Air"
Kerrang!: What was the vibe like in the studio?
Dave!: "Really good, we'd work for a few weeks, stop then listen, so we had a better perspective of what we were doing. Some songs changed completely from the original demo, but others stayed pretty true to Gavin's original idea. Gwen did a few backing vocals when she was in town. And I enjoyed the 900 games of table football I had with Nigel, particularly as he didn't win a single one."
Kerrang!: What does The Science of Things sound like?
Dave!: "It still sounds like Bush, but it's a bit fuller and modern. We learned from Deconstructed how to use programming and samples alongside real drums and guitars; we tried to incorporate that more modern feel, but when your recording with two guitars, bass and drums, the character of the band will always shine through."
Kerrang!: What song titles can you give us from the new album?
Dave!: "There's Prize fighter, The Disease of the Dancing Cats, The Chemicals Between Us, Warm Machine, Jesus Online, 40 Miles From The Sun, Dead Meat, Space Travel, and English Fire. That's not holding much back. We've played alot of them live at some point during the last month and they've been taking on new life."
Kerrang!: Was it annoying not being able to get your album out on time following the dispute with Trauma?
Dave!: "Yeah, it's frustrating, because if you miss one deadline then you have to sit on the album until the next proper time. People are always falling out with record companies, we've kissed and made up, although there were not tongues involved."
Kerrang!: What are Bush's plans once the album has been released?
Dave!: "We haven't decided on touring plans yet as there's equal demand to see us in America and Europe, so we're working out the best way to do it. But we really want to get out there and play again. We've been sitting on the album for a bit too long, and our recent gigs were a great reminder of why were in a band in the first place."
