I love all of the film scores, not just [John Williams], anybody that does quality ones. There's loads of them out there. My music has always sounded very cinematic and so it always comes across in that storytelling kind of way.

But my first real hero was Gary Numan I suppose. That was because of the electronic music and the synthesisers, because back then in the late '70s, electronic music was unheard of, in the popular context at any rate.
