"I've wanted the live thing to move up a gear for some time but it's taking me a while to find the right way to go. Projection is a cool thing but it's very easy to do it badly. I wanted to make sure that our first serious move into projection would be a significant one. Finding the right way to do it has not been easy but I'm very happy with what we have now for the Manchester and London shows. If the fans like what we are doing then I will continue to develop the ideas and expand on them for the forseable future. We worked closely with a company called Digital Insanity who have ben a huge help in putting all of the ideas into a useable format."
