Behind the Songs: Dash

Interviewer: "Talk Talk Talk has a few noteworthy keyboard parts... 'Dash' on the B-side of 'Dumb Waiters' has a piano melody. Is this a direction for the future keyboards?"

Richard Butler: "We'd like to feature more of a lot of things. I'd like to use cello and twelve string guitar as well, but keyboards will definitely be on the next album, I'd say. We just want to expand the sound. It would be great to have a big band sound on the next one. We'll have to hire session musicians to tour with us next time. Do a Talking Heads!" (Overview 1981)

Behind the Songs: ****

Interviewer: "Was the B-side of the 'Sister Europe' 45 ["****"] originally intended as the introduction of 'India'?"

Richard Butler: "No. We used it as the intro to 'India' afterwards. It's the introduction to 'India' played backwards." (Overview 1981)
