"I was make a record this time, not just recording an album," he recalled.
"In the past I would be in the studio for a day or two at the most, or just bring a mobile studio to a gig; this time however, the process and result has been a little like the music, kind of cinematic, a feeling of scale and intensity.
"Think John Coltrane Quartet produced by Neu! mixed by Brian Eno in an air-raid shelter."
The album was released in July, and the current spate of live shows - tonight's (Oct 2) Stables gig is the penultimate date of the tour - is further enhanced by a specially-made film which is projected while the music goes live.

IAN DURY: DYLAN IS 'A FUNKY LITTLE B******'
He's the drummer that late Blockhead, musical ace and lyrical poet Ian Dury used to describe as 'a funky little b***ard,' and this evening Dylan Howe will bring that funky ability with him when he makes his return to The Stables.
Dylan will lead the Subterraneans, a tempting quintet also featuring saxophonist Andy Sheppard, and together they present 'new designs of Bowie's Berlin - a radical new take on the instrumental cuts from David Bowie's 1977 albums Low and Heroes...'
Having worked with a raft of A-listers - Paul McCartney, Nick Cave, Damon Albarn and David Gilmour to skim the surface (and he also played on the recent chart-topping album by Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey) Subterranean is Howe's first studio album of his own for a decade.
He has long enjoyed Bowie's mid-seventies releases, and was drawn to them as a teenager. This new release had to be right, and Howe made sure the recording process was spot-on, taking his time and working the studio environment to the max to realise the potential.
