Crispian doesn’t do things on a small scale. The 25 foot tall Christmas tree in his garden being no exception. Unfortunaetly, whilst it’s easy enough to get to the top, it’s not as easy to come down. Hanging on for dear life to a short thread of tinsel , he still managed to shout down some answers us for his 30 second interview..

Crispian, it’s been a while since we last spoke, tell us what we can expect from this year’s Christmas single.

A marvelous mash up of monumental proportions.

You are now obviously involved heavily in the film-making lifecycle from start to end product. What are the similarities/differences in film-making and creating an album of music?

Well it’s similar in that it all starts on your own, in front of a blank page, and you build it up from there. The difference, I suppose, is that in order to realise a film you need lots and lots of people to all work together as a team. You could compare it to writing for an orchestra. As far as the business side of the process goes, it’s all pretty much the same, i.e lots of cliques, sheep, and egos.

What’s the longest amount of time you’ve ever held your breath and under what circumstance?

Trying to get my first film off the ground, I think I held my breath for about 8 years.

What next for Kula Shaker? When will the band be going back on the road?

When the band everyone is available and up for it!

После распада Kula Shaker в 1999 году Криспиан Миллз занялся записью своего сольного альбома, который продюссировал Mark Pritchard. Но по какой-то причине, к сожалению, альбом так и не был издан.
И вот 10 лет спустя благодаря Ho Hum Records две вещи того периода Healing Hands и Вe Merciful наконец увидят свет (обе песни уже знакомы поклонникам Криспиана - Healing Hands вышла на альбоме The Jeevas 'Cowboys and Indians' в 2003 году, а Вe Merciful не раз исполнялась на концертах Kula Shaker).
Релиз назначен на 27 сентября. Сингл выйдет на виниле и в виде цифровой загрузки в mp3 на http://www.hohumrecords.com/
В плеере на сайте можно послушать 30-секундные фрагменты.

Kula Shaker frontman, Crispian Mills, also known as Krishna Kantha Dasa to some, speaks to Nicholas Shay ahead of his band’s tour through Hong Kong.

HK Magazine: Will this be your first time in Hong Kong? What are you expecting?
Crispian Mills: It will indeed, and everybody’s thrilled to be coming. It’s uncharted waters, so I have no idea what to expect. We went to Russia last year for the first time to play a concert, and we went on stage very late to a huge, very drunk crowd. It was quite frightening, but once we got on stage, it was fantastic—so you never know what to expect.

HK: Can you tell us about your new album, “Pilgrim’s Progress”?
CM: This was the first time we made a record where we had absolutely no pressure other than our own desire to make beautiful music. Our first record, “K,” was complicated because we could feel the record company’s expectations, which stifled the spontaneity. When you’re young, you’re more inclined to please people... well, I was. Now I’ve given up trying to please people, and ended up making a good record as a result. It’s a very mellow acoustic album with lots of daydreaming. The process was much more spontaneous than our other records. It’s brilliant, I’m telling you.

HK: Where do the band’s Indian influences stem from?
CM: I don’t know. Maybe from past lives... friends, fate and destiny. There is something very universal about oriental culture, and we can connect with it. I think it’s because the people of the earth were all joined together at one time.

HK: Could you explain a bit about your own spiritual beliefs?
CM: Everybody wants love, don’t they? If you have all the money and power in the world, and you don’t have love, you’re just gonna be a weird psycho. And that’s really the problem with the world. Spiritual life should be practical, not superstitious. You should be able to apply it to your life, in healing the earth and healing each other, because it’s all in a bit of a mess. You have to respect all faiths; you have to have a spiritual philosophy. I try to have that in my life, and it’s been very good for my music and self-expression.

HK: Who are some people that you gather inspiration from?
CM: I kind of live in a bit of a dream world. I read all the old myths and legends. When I was growing up, my favorite books were all the ancient Greek myths. I got into Indian folklore and the philosophy of the Mahabharata. I’m into archetypes and mythic heroes. I like George Harrison and Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple. He’s a great guitarist, but they’re just guys. When it’s an inspiration or a muse, I think more of those mythic characters. They’re more colorful.

HK: If you had a dinner party, which three guests would you invite?
CM: Well, I would probably get Charles Dickens and Shakespeare together with somebody like Johnny Rotten and see what happens.
