About Universal Frontline:

When we visited Dan Flange's house in Wood Green there were people firing an air rifle at a picture of Embrace on the landing. His studio was a darkened attic draped with green PVC sheeting designed to keep the warmth in. "I live with monkeys" says Dan. "Last week the front door was de-hinged, earlier steel bowling balls were being used for cricket practice in the hallway. Fortunately the entrance to the attic is concealed in my bedroom".

Dan's approach to music is accidental. "I try to copy things I like, fail, and arrive at something different". Keep failing Dan, and don't feed the chimps.
