I think there is a widely held assumption that Hospital (and indeed, most large labels) 'tell' artists what to write, or make them produce in a particulars style (forgive me if I'm incorrectly reading that as a subtext in your question!). I can honestly say that I've never known that happen, certainly at Hospital.

Yeah, I think a lot of people have that idea as to be frank, throughout my time being involved in the scene as a punter I've heard more and more comments about Hospital going downhill and more mainstream. While I applaud the commercial success of the label and think the merchandise, event brand and pure loyalty of Hospital fans is something to be envied, it seems like there's only a few core artists on Hospital still putting out creative and challenging music.

Cheers for your reply tho, and I'll be sure to bag the VIP when it comes out... as well as track down the original remix.

Hey Dan, congratulations on your 4th album, which with your brother's work this year, I think really brings Hospital back to the roots that got me hooked on D&B.

I know Hospital has been experimenting with its sound over the last few years with the likes of Metrik, Fred V & Grafix, Etherwood etc.

What inspirations did you draw on to build this album, and would you say they were different from your previous LPs (all of which are awesome)? Did you find it hard to do something original and how much input did Hospital have into your creative process?

(oh and when's your Roni Size remix coming out? ;))

Ah, you're a Reasoner?!
