Well, Blixa [Bargeld] is the least nuanced person I've ever met in my life. With him, everything is black or white. I admired that in a way, because he is able to make difficult decisions in the studio. I found that enviable because I was often indecisive. That brutality of thinking, that resoluteness, that German-ness, is what Blixa brought – alongside his distinctive guitar playing, of course.
