Alan on the recording of “In Your Room”
That song was quite difficult. We recorded the song three or four different ways. One was entirely as you hear it in the second verse, with the smaller drum kit and the “groovy” bass line. But the whole song with that rhythm wasn’t strong enough; it didn’t go anywhere. We had the song structure from a fairly early stage. We knew where we wanted the verses, choruses, and middle eights. So much as I did with “I Feel You,” I went in and played drums along with the track in one particular style, then did it again in a funkier style, and so on.
