Chaos Control: The technology involved in creating electronic music has improved a great deal since Cabaret Voltaire first emerged. But do you still find it limiting at all? Is there anything you'd like to see created or improved?

Richard Kirk:In terms of samplers, you have this thing called 'time stretch,' which alters the pitch of an instrument. If you pitch something up on a keyboard, on a sampler it speeds up. There's this idea of a time stretch, which you get in some of the samplers. I'd like to see this get more instant. It's kind of a big number crunching job at the moment and it's not entirely successful. So I'd like that to become a bit more easier to deal with.
