““Sweet Song” was done when the legal negotiations for the split with Graham were starting, and that was pretty horrible. Damon would have been quite emotional when he sang it in the cracked, vulnerable way he does. Like Graham, Damon can’t fake it.”
Ben Hillier, about Sweet Song, to Uncut Magazine, 2014.
Should Be Higher by Depeche Mode from the album Delta Machine

Blur, Think Tank (2003).
Delta Machine
So after a hugely successful 'Sounds of the Universe Tour', a songwriting break for Martin and Dave and Andy’s global DJ tour, the band are back in Sound Design studio, Santa Barbara, for the first recording sessions for ‘Delta Machine’
Martin and Dave discussing the upcoming project enjoying the Santa Barbara sunshine before the months of studio darkness to come
Martin and producer Ben Hillier looking a little perplexed at something going weird on the computer. In the background, Martin’s ever expanding modular system.
Dave giving his all as always. In the background is programmer Cristoffer Berg, Ben Hillier and even more modular!
A quiet moment
After a couple of successful sessions in Santa Barbara and a well deserved break, the team moves to Jungle City studios in NY. First priority? Lunch!
Dave and his co-writer/programmer Kurt Uenala

“A lot of the songs on that record are about Graham. Damon channelled his feelings into that album.”
Ben Hillier, about Think Tank, to Uncut Magazine, 2014.
“Having not worked much with Blur before, it became clear to me that the person who finished an album was Graham. The person who started stuff was Damon. The hardest thing working with a really creative mind like Damon is making them finish anything. That doesn’t interest them at all. They are no interested in the craft, they’re interested in the spark. Graham has got a lot more of the craft gene in him.”
Ben Hillier, the producer for Think Tank, for Mojo, 2015. (via Damon Albarn Unofficial)
