Paul Draper
HeathenAngel was offered the opportunity to send in some questions to ex-Mansun frontman, Paul Draper, so we cobbled together the semblance of an interview and sent it off. Here¡¯s what Paul returned ¡¦
HeathenAngel: Mansun, it all seemed to be going so well, the split seemed to come out of nowhere. What happened?
Paul: There were problems internally in the band that drifted on for ages until it wasn¡¯t possible to carry on anymore.
HA: It's nearly nine years since "Take It Easy Chicken" was released. If someone back then had told you where you'd be today, what do you think you would have said to them?
Paul: Well I¡¯m sort of back where I started, not really doing much, but hopefully I¡¯ll get some music out soon.
HA: What do you think of the current quote being passed around that Mansun were the "king of all cult bands"?
Paul: I suppose that¡¯s coz we were a bit different and not mainstream. I just thought we didn¡¯t follow the fashion, but now I realise to be successful you have to follow the fashion and operate within narrow parameters of what¡¯s termed 'creativity'.
HA: Have you found that you miss being in Mansun or do you prefer being solo?
Paul: I¡¯d had enough so I¡¯m enjoying doing my own thing right now.

HA: Have you kept in contact with the others since Mansun split? What are they doing?
Paul: Andy is playing with other bands, Chad¡¯s left the music industry, Stove works on the production line at a Toyota engine factory in my home town of Deeside in North Wales. ½ºÅäºêÀ̸§ µåµð¾î ¾ð±ÞÇϴ±º¿ä .äµå´Â ¾ÈŸ±õ±º¿ä.³» ¹êµåÀÇ ±âŸ¸®½ºÆ®·Î ¾²·Á

HA: Why has the decision been made to release Kleptomania now?
Paul: Parlophone have been planning to put some unreleased stuff out for a while, it just took some time for the split to heal and to get all the tapes together.
HA: Was Kleptomania a record company decision, Mansun's decision or a joint effort?
Paul: A petition was sent in by fans to release it, I think Parlophone were easy either way, I went along with putting it out as I didn¡¯t want to let anybody down again.

HA: Have you enjoyed working on Kleptomania? Annotating the sleeve notes etc?
Paul: It was tough sifting through the tracks because everything was so unfinished, but if people want to hear a work in progress then I don¡¯t mind to much.
HA: Whose choice of single was Slipping Away? If not yours then do you agree with the choice?
Paul: It was a spur of the moment thing, if the band had still been together we would have put out Love Remains. ¿ª½Ã È°µ¿Çß´Ù¸é ·¯ºê ¸®¸ÞÀÎÁî..ÆúÀÌ ±øÃѱøÃÑ ¶Ù¾î´Ù´Ï¸ç

HA: Slipping Away seems to sound quite commercial in comparison with previous Mansun releases. Was this an intentional direction, can we expect more of this sort of sound from Kleptomania?
Paul: I guess that¡¯s why we chose it, because nobody would play it on the radio so you¡¯ll only be able to hear it a few times on XFM, etc ... so being commercial it helps.
HA What have you been doing with yourself since Mansun split up?
Paul: Travelling and writing. Èì..Á¦¹ß È¥ÀÚ ¿©ÇàÇ߱⸦,,
HA: We heard you've been doing some work with Skin, how did that come about? Was it enjoyable to work with her?
Paul: We wrote a few tracks together, I enjoyed it very much as she¡¯s a lovely person. ÁÁ°Ú´Ù ½ºÅ²!!!!!·¹Áîºñ¾ð¸¸¾Æ´Ï¾úÀ½ ³ªÀÇ ¾öû³ ÀúÁÖ¸¦ ¹Þ¾ÒÀ»ÅÍ.

HA You haven't played live since the final Mansun tour two years ago, is that something you'd like to get back to?
Paul: When my album comes out I¡¯ll go and play live, probably next year

Paul: Probably finishing my solo album, but I¡¯d really like to be in bed being lazy.
