Why did you decide to work with Jim Steinman? [He helped behind the production helm on Floodland and Vision Thing] What did you feel he could bring to the songs and did he achieve it?

We wanted to do something ridiculously over the top and he was the only one who would entertain that. Plus, he's got form in that respect. He wanted the 128-piece choir even more than I did. Did we achieve it? Those songs are still being sung twenty-five years later, so I would say so.
