They seem to have these personalities that are very generic and so I can't really relate to them. I suppose I can't really relate to it on a personal level at all, because you never really understand where the personal comes into what they do.

It's like they're a separate identity to the whole music and imagery,

I love entering the bowels of the cinema and immersing myself in another world.
