Hugh Padgham im Studio Sound Magazin 3/1984:
"Hugh went on to talk about the
method of recording used onKing of
Pain,which was also used on a track
called No Self Control on Gabriel's
album which he also remembers as
being a prime example of a mix
ending up sounding totally different
from what might be expected from
the material recorded on the multi-
track tape. Hugh explained that part
of the effect was achieved by sub-
grouping drums to one fader so that
the whole kit could be switched in
and out with one click of a switch
with one finger as opposed tohaving
to use five or six.
"King of Pain is a track that, if
you listened to it on the multitrack
tape, wouldn't bear any resemblance
to the final track at all. In fact the
first verse, which is just vocal and
piano I think, was recorded on a
completely different day and
sounded different. So that was just
an edit into the next bit. And we did
all sorts of things that seemed weird
at the time, knocking this in and
knocking that out, just editing it all
together as we went along."
