If you listen to The Browns, it's a very pretty sound. It was sibling harmony, a sound that was very pleasing. I've never heard anybody that could come close to that particular sound. It couldn't be imitated.

In Jamaica, the music is recorded for the sound system, not the iPod. It's about experiencing music together, with other people.
At the Isle of Wight, the sound went out and kind of kept on going. And I wasn't... when I came off stage I was kind of unhappy about how we had played. But now, I listen back to those recordings and it's not bad.
I'm a little tired of travelling the world, jaded as that may sound.
