Issue 3 of Carbon Nation contains an exclusive interview with Richard Barbieri. It includes topics such as:

On the support from Lava:
You really don't know with record labels.  It doesn't matter how long you can be in the business you're still never going to really know what goes on. There's politics involved, there's money involved, especially in America.  I really don't know and I try not to involve myself with it too much because I think in the end what's going to happen is going to happen as far as the record company goes.  I mean I'm not particularly pleased in the way that things have been delayed.

 On the upcoming tour:
There's a lot of pre production to do.  Apart from the music being more complicated from our point of view, there's a lot of visuals that we have to synchronize in.  Lasse's done a lot of stuff.  So the whole production value has gone up another couple of steps.

All this and much more in the full interview!
