Bill Wadhams:“That was pretty early in the process—a request from the record company.

Bill Wadhams:“I just want to add that like many bands who had difficult times in the 80s, we had a very difficult breakup. Part of the reason was because Astrid and I are different creatures, and we had different ideas, intentions and styles. At a certain point, we looked back and realized that the contrast between the two of us is part of what mad...
