Chain-Shot To Have Some Fun

Trying (and failing) to Google some lyrics for Melt Banana's "Cell-Scape," I bumped into this interview, which finally explains why I am now so obsessed with this album despite originally being unable to even listen to it the whole way through (and it's only 25 minutes long, without the intro and outro tracks):

The Japan Times: Give us a specific example of your abstract songwriting.
Agata: Video games have a big influence on me. 'Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3' or 'Ecco the Dolphin,' for example. I might be playing the game and things start connecting in my brain. If I get excited about a clever move I've made in the game then I might try to interpret that move musically. It's hard to explain. But if I'm killing a lot of people in a game and there's a quiet soundtrack to it I might then go to the studio and think of that game and make a noisy blast-beat song and add some quiet pretty sounds to it.
