The original mixing of Damage was done by Fripp in 1994, with Sylvian absent from the process. Sylvian emphasizes that he thoroughly enjoyed touring and working with Fripp, and he even credits the guitarist with helping him overcome his reluctance to perform. But he says that their working methods sometimes conflicted in the studio,
with Fripp constantly striving for a certain somewhat rigid level of perfection, and Sylvian preferring to remain flexible and weigh many options. “Robert had the first crack [at Damage],” Sylvian says, “so this is my turn with the same material. Also, it's mine and I didn't feel the need to go back and consult him.”
There's the control freak for you.
