"There was a book published called "Synchronicity" which is about the
meaningfulness of apparent coincidences - is there any meaning in
coincidence. And that's what I wanted this record to be about. It's a
grand design, but I'm not sure if it come off or not. The concept
interested me in that it was about accidents and some of the greatest
things that happen in music with a band are accidental, or apparently
accidental. Two members of the same band will hit the same chord, or the
music will shift to an area that you both agree on for some
inexplicable reason and you'll find yourself on the same wavelength.
It's like within the parameters of the music there are lots of accidents
and lots of things ricocheting off each other."
