вЂњI always make music by myself but I didnвЂ™t think what I was doing was right,вЂќ he adds. ThereвЂ™s also a Swedish artist who goes by the name of Dungen вЂ“ IвЂ™ve always looked up to him. вЂњWell,вЂќ he says, вЂњStevie Wonder would be up there, and not just because heвЂ™s blind but because I never had any idea it was all him, especially the drums. Of all rockвЂ™s feted do-it-all wunderkinds вЂ“ Paul McCartney, Emitt Rhodes, Todd Rundgren, Jeff Lynne, Prince, Stevie Wonder вЂ“ who does he most respect? (The Rundgren connection was made circa Lonerism, when Parker cited RundgrenвЂ™s album A Wizard, A True Star as one of his prime influences later, Rundgren would remix a Lonerism track, Elephant.) And guitar and bass IвЂ™m pretty good at keyboards IвЂ™m pretty average but I can just about feel my way around.вЂќ вЂњIf I was to have a jam behind a bunch of people, IвЂ™d go for the drums because thatвЂ™s the instrument I can play without thinking. вЂњIвЂ™m probably the best at drums but IвЂ™m not even that good,вЂќ he admits. He describes himself as вЂњa Jack of all trades and master of noneвЂќ. One thing unlikely to happen at any time in the future is Parker delegating in the studio: the vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, synths and drums that you hear on his records? ThatвЂ™s all him. In some ways IвЂ™m getting closer to the ultimate music IвЂ™d want to listen to.вЂќ вЂњRight now, this is my favourite kind of music. ThatвЂ™s when the most interesting things happen.вЂќДoes he believe the idea of the dramatic changes between Tame albums has been overplayed?

I like it when people from opposite extremes of the musical spectrum get together. Put it this way: itвЂ™s exactly what IвЂ™d expect from those two. вЂњYeah, I listened to it the other day,вЂќ he says.
