"I wanted to infuse rhythmsinto rock and roll that I wasn't hearing elsewhere," Aphek explains. "Iwanted to write a Johnny Cash style song, but then dress it upin crazyMax Roach style drumming or Ethiopian rhythms. I was getting akickout of hearing something that could sound like a catchy indiesong, butwith a strange reggae kind of feeling."
