The talk at FACT was run in association with the Wire Magazine, and part of the Ding Dong exhibition.

ah, so you're asking Simon for the secret recipe for musical greatness. Think you'll have to sell your soul to the devil for the easy answer to that...

Simon, In this discussion you make reference to good tunes and bad tunes. But what makes the good tunes good and the bad tunes bad? Why does one jungle track - which contains many of the same basic elements as a thousand others - stand out from its peers? Or, if you prefer, why is it that certain tunes still sound great while others have long since lost their appeal?
