US house legend Josh Wink chatted about the inspiration behind his fourth studio album ‘When A Banana Was Just A Banana’ recently, revealing that his choice of unusual title was highly significant. “In a nutshell, it speaks really of the loss of innocence of music,” said Josh.

“Music was just music when I was growing up. Nobody was ridiculed or had views of ‘I only listen to this one kind of music’ – I grew up listening to everything. Today, so many people tend only listen to one style of music with a strong opinion of why… I miss the innocence of how it was… Like when you were younger,” he sighed.

Fellow veteran US star Armand Van Helden also spoke nostalgically of the good old days in an interview with British portal Musiccomh.com and admitted that he nowadays prepares his sets minimally ‘just before I leave’. “Younger DJs I know, they blog all day, they blog and they’re freaking out,” Armand admitted. “I’m really happy but I can’t do that any more. I know what it is, it’s raw passion – but I don’t have the passion anymore,” he conceded.

‘When A Banana Was Just A Banana’ is out on Josh Wink’s label Ovum in March 2009.
