Interviews

1968: Mother

Excerpt from Mother: Houston's Rock Magazine's interview with The Red Krayola:

MOTHER: Why was the chaos, the freak out, separated from the order, the structured music, on the album instead of being integrated?

MAYO THOMPSON: If you wish, the album tends to visually orient itself. It's like a continuous line where there are small blips like on a graph and these songs with simple structures appear in the more complex structures.

MOTHER: Who wrote the structured parts?

MAYO: Well, all three of us. Rick wrote the music and I wrote the words to "Pink Stainless Tail" and "Transparent Radiation". Steve wrote "Former Reflection Enduring Doubt", and we all worked on "Parable of Arable Land" while Rick and I wrote the words to "War Sucks" and we all wrote the music.[1]
