Über ihr früheres Label

17.12.2007, 16:42, Text: Johannes Mihram

Was Ed O'Brian letztens schon andeutete in Bezug auf das frühere Label seiner Band Radiohead, haben Sänger Thom Yorke und er nun ausführlicher dargestellt. Es geht um dabei nicht im eigentlichen um das Majorlabel EMI, sondern dessen Eigentürmer Terra Firma, eine Beteiligungsgesellschaft. O'Brien erklärt: \"We'll miss the people we work with. The rest of the stuff about maybe not understanding the music industry? Terra Firma don’t fully understand. We didn’t get what we wanted, it couldn’t be offered. They didn’t understand where a band like us sat on a label like EMI, so they weren’t able to give us what we needed.\" Und Yorke ergänzt: \"They didn’t seem very interested and neither did we. They had us on a very long leash for a very long time. That was because they had a series of artists that they allowed to do that, like Pink Floyd and Queen. Now you’re in a situation with private equity firms, it looks at music as something to buy and then sell on.\"
