Breakdowns and breaks
Somewhere in “Fat Pop” guitar problems begin, which an eager but overwhelmed technician wants to solve first by replacing the amplifier and then by meticulously detailed work on the effects. Cradock is almost turning red with anger, Weller and Co. initially continue to play cheerfully without electric guitar amplification. When after four and a half songs nothing happens, the “Modfather” himself has had enough and asks for a break of several minutes, the end of which actually produces the unexpected effect of a perfect sound again. An annoying but also funny glitch for the artists. Once again it shows that where real music and handcraft still have value, a lot can go to waste. After all, only the AI is perfect and it doesn’t have the slightest room to breathe here.
