And as funny as it sounds now, I remember him saying that he could actually be
more mainstream on
Law and Order, because within FM he felt he had to be kind of out there, to counter the other songwriters, but on an entire solo album, he felt he could be more traditional, because he was not trying to contrast his tracks from anyone else's. He felt his role in FM was to be
avant garde, but on his own he wouldn't have to do that.
Now, I don't think
Law and Order reflects that kind of thinking at all, but I do recall the interview where he said it. It struck me as kind of the reverse of what I
thought he would try to achieve on a solo album.
But he might have just said it because he didn't want to alienate potential buyers of his solo album by letting them assume that it would be ALL Tusky. Michele
