Sean Booth, Autechre:
"I would do tapes, so I could avoid being picked on as a nerd, which is what I was. It was easier to give tapes to the hard kids, and suddenly they're your best mate. If you tried to get on with them otherwise, it wasn't going to work. So I used to just make tapes, hardcore remixes of tracks they already had and stuff. They'd be going, "Where'd you get that from?" and I'd say, "Oh, it's an import." It'd be ammunition."
