Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again.

One day in Berlin ... Eno came running in and said, 'I have heard the sound of the future.' ... he puts on 'I Feel Love', by Donna Summer ... He said, 'This is it, look no further. This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years.' Which was more or less right.
