Norway's FirstNational StationHits AirwavesNORWAYby Steve Wonsiewicz

Norway's first commercial natio-nal station, Radio Hele Norge.known simply as P4. hopes toblaze the same kind of media trailthat the country's private TV net-works did when they debuted onthe scene in the '80s. and substan-tially expand the market.

The mainstream ACE sta-tion-which was granted thecountry's only 10 -year nationallicence in January-launched onSeptember 15 at 12.00, playingthe national anthem, followed bya rock 'n' roll version of Norwe-gian classical composer EdvardGrieg's Anitra's Dance. (See"Programming The Music," p. 6.)

Based on P4's initial results,the signs are encouraging. In-house research shows listeningshare for the station's test sig-

nals-pre-recorded songs withtaped promos-increased to 17%from 4% before the real stationeven hit the airwaves. Plansrequire P4 to reach 2.5 millionpeople when it debuts. about 70-75% at year-end, and 90% in '94.

The station is also on budgetwith ad sales. P4 is predictingabout Nkr7-8 million (app.US$930.000) revenue in the firstyear, reaching Nkr70-100 millionin three years. Operating costs forthe first year are around Nla-15-20million.

Comments GM Svein Larsen."Eventually, in two to three yearswe want to have one-half to one-third of total radio advertising.But that's under the assumptionthat the market increases substan-tially. Today the radio market isabout 2-2.5% of the total adver-tising. That's not much if you

Volksmusik Breaks Rigid BoundariesThaditional volksmusik has never really left the popular music scene

in Germany. Although it constantly changes with the times, it hasnever gone out offashion. A consistent, steady seller,

the "music of the people" accumulated gold discsover the years without hitting the charts.

That changed in 1988. however. when theOriginal Naahtal Duo (BM AriolaMedia) scored the first pop/volksmusikcrossover chart success with platinumsales (over 500.0001 of Patrona &trariae.This set off a volksmusik boom which hasled to a flood of artist signings over thepast five years, and a mass of TV showspresenting volksmusik.

The musical boundaries betweenvolksmusik and schlager. the more pop -oriented sub -genre, have became lessrigid, leading to schlager-orientedvolksmusik.whose broadappeal is reflect-ed in chart salesas well as radioairplay. Howev-er. a new breedof volksmusikmusicians com-bining traditionalmusic of thehomeland withjazz. rock orpunk elements.are gaining i!:popularity.

One thing tra-ditional volt..., -musik artists an,1the new breed ofmusicians havein common istheir down-to-earth approach tovolksmusik. and this is what comes acrossto the audience. Although they considereach other's music not to be genuine, theycombine forces when it comes to taking astand against artificial volksmusik.

"In the end the consumer mustdecide." says Karl -Heinz Voell, of KochInternational. "The past five years haveseen a volksmusik boom. but I believeaudiences can sense whether music comesfrom the heart and whether an artist takeshis music seriously."

Media's Diminishing RoleSeveral German labels complain of the

lack of support they receive from themedia, in particular radio. Says BMG Ari-ola Media head of A&R Susanne Schu-lenburg, "In general German languageproduct is underrepresented at most radiostations.

"However, we are experiencing goodairplay for volksmusik at NDR 1, whopresent a volksmusik hitparade for theirlisteners as well as SFB 1, RB 1, HR 1,11R 4, BR I, SDR 1, S 4, SWF 1 and .14 :Ni SWF 4. for

example."WDR 4/

Inaddition I havepresented volk-rock from actssuch as Ziller-taler Schfirzen-

jager, for example."MDR 1/Sachsen-Anhalt head of music

Detlev Schmidt has definitely noticed atrend towards volkschlager. "We cater forthe 30+ age group and present a 'Volk-stamliche Hitparade.' We have a cumeshare of 51.7% so we must be doingsomething right."

However, not all PDs agree withSchmidt, as several German radio stationshave difficulty fitting schlager into theirever -tightening formats. Says AntenneBayern/Munich PD Raimund Wagner,"We cater to an ACE format, and yolks-schlager does not fit into our program-ming. Last autumn we even tested a softpup/yolk single by Hubert von GoisernUnd Die Original Alpinkatzen, but theresponse was negative.

"If we had an additional channel fre-quency we would definitely cater to thiskind of popular music, too."

Radio Arabella/Munich HOM Karl -Heinz Schweter does not believe the newbreed of volksimisik will be able to estab-lish itself on the market. "This is only afad for the kids," he claims, adding,"What is really happening is thatvolksmusik is becoming more modern,moving increasingly towards schlager.

"We hardly play any real volksmusikanymore. only schlager-orientedvolksmusik. With all the over -exposureon TV people have become tired ()I'volksmusik, while the industry was chant-ing out poinly produced material to cashin on the boom."

For the past six months this over-sats-

ration has noticably slack-ened off. Ratings forvolksmusik TV shows havedropped, as audiencesbecome increasingly awareof music outside of theirown country causing sometracks to be taken off air.

Virgin label managerMichael Wolf hasn't givenup on TV, however. "Weare still enjoying good TVexposure with the state-owned TV stations," claimsWolf. "It's the private TVstations which are takingsome of their volksmusikshows off the air."

The Old With The NewBoth the traditional acts and the new

breed of volksmusik artists are currentlyrepresented on the official album charts.One of the fastest selling acts in the moretraditional volksmusik vein are theKasteiruther Spatzen (Koch Internation-al). They are rapidly approaching goldstatus with their album Der Rote Dia-mand . which peaked at number 12 andcontinues to be listed on the officialMusikmarkt charts after 11 weeks.

On the progressive side the secondhighest chart climber is Hubert von Gois-ern Und Die Original Alpinkatzen (BMGAriola), whose debut album AufgoignSttatt Niederschiassn hit number I andachieved triple platinum status in hishomeland Austria. Meanwhile, this albumcombining traditional volksmusik withrock, blues and jazz elements, is in itseighth week on the German charts afterpeaking at number 48.

Singing in Austrian dialect,accordeonist and rock yodeller Von Gois-ern is rapidly gaining popurarity sinceword has spread of his powerful live per-formances. In Hamburg he was billedalongside Jethro Tull at an open air festi-val which made the TV evening news.Television specials and live broadcasts ofhis concerts underline the acceptance bythe media.

The latest volksmusik entry to theGerman charts are the ZillertalerSchiirzenjager ["The Skirt Chasers"](BMG Ariola) now in their 20th year. Inthe course of their career the band hasaccumulated 24 gold, nine platinum andthree double platinum albums, as well asa large cult following in Austria. The six -man act dresses in original Zillertal attireperforming volksmusik with rock and popelements. Living proof of theirenormous success is their annu-al open air festival in Austriawhich attracted 50.000 fans thisAugust.

After 10 years with Polydor. BMGAriola Media has recently signed innova-tive volksmusik artist Hans -JurgenBuchner, (better known as Haindling),who was a forerunner in combiningvolksmusik with music from other cul-tures. In 1988 Haindling recorded Bavari-an music with African elements usingoriginal African drums and horns whichhe plays himself. The self -titled debutalbum was released mid -August. Singingin Bavarian dialect, Haindling labels hismusic as "volk-musical-avantgarde." A24 -city tour is slated for this month.

smaller markets. I frequently have the opportunity to train new PDs and

Wk. I thought it might he useful if I compiled some of the commonmistakes that new managers make, as a way of helping aspiring PDs.

here are some points worth considering.

if you and your staff spend time talking to people where theywork and where they shop, you will learn more about them,and that will help you to create a station that entertains and

in today's economy, more people than everare snuggling to make ends meet. and whilea trip would be fun. paying the rent or buy-ing the kids new clothes for school is morecrucial.

If you and your staff spend time talkingto people where they work and where theyshop, you will learn more about them andthat will help you to create a station thatentertains and informs them.

Evaluate Your MuskL.cri it you don t hart a reward) budgvt.

look in M&M's station reports to see whatother stations are playing. and look at whatis being bought in your market. Every fewmonths. consider why you are still playingthe songs that are being bought. If you haveaccess to a consultant take advantage ofthat: consultants often have research to sharewith you.

But in the absence of that. use commonsense. lust because you played a song thatdidn't reach the top 10, it just may be forget-table. And while I was taught that you'renever hurt by what you don't play. I was alsotaught not to impose my own tastes on thelisteners; a good example of this is a countrysong that every PD I know totally despised:Achy Breaks Heart Many Pds dropped it assoon as they could, in fact. Yet, researchshowed it was among the top five favouritesof country listeners.

So. when evaluating your musk, don'tjust use the "I hate it and I'm sick of it" testas your criterion. Ask yourself if the songwas a big hit. if it fits the overall sound ofyour station, and if the average personwould be familiar with it. If you have noidea why you are still playing a song. itmight he time to snake it disappear. Butagain, keep asking yourself, 'Does the audi-cost still care about this song? not. "Arethe tired of ill"

Have Regular Meetings

,lierJ dont 4.0ffalritailCaLe xnri eachother. I have seen statirms where jocks did-n't know they were supposed to do a certainpromotion, or nobody told them they werefilling in fro somebody next week.

No matter how crazy everyone's sched-ule. it's useful to get as many of the stafftogether as you can on an on -going basis.Wit to discuss problems and plan solutions.Its a good opportunity for everyone to workon things as a team, I also recommend thatyou invite the unsung hero of your station toyour staff meetings-yes. I mean the recep-tionist. that front-line person who answersall the calls and hears from the listenersbefore you do. Often this person has some

worthwhile input.

Get OrganisedDetails have a nasty way of getting lost

in the hurried pace of a busy day. Doeseveryone know what shift they are workingthis weekend? Do you have a plan for emer-gencies? Does everyone on staff know whatto do if they can't find a certain commercialor if lightning strikes the transmitter? Doyou have a manual for new employees,explaining station policies and givinganswers to the most common problems'?

Even if you have a perfect memory.write things down: create a daily list ofthings that need your attention and prioritisethem. You probably don't possess magicalpowers. so you may not accomplish every-thing on your list. but at least you will havesome concrete idea of what needs to beaddressed. what has been handled. and whatyou could use some help with.

feel the need to sound like the voice ordoom or put that smile in everything theysay. Neither extreme works. You don't needto sound as if you came from a funeral. nordo you need to sound as if life is just a Iratelof laughs.

The operant words are friendly and um-veriational. Avoid those horrible radiocliches; "The temperature outside is 13degrees.' Of course the temperature is out-side: where else would it be? "The timeright now is 10.00," as opposed to the timeback then or the time ID minutes ago? Ifyour best friend rang you to ask the time.how would you say it? When your shift isover, do you say something like "Well I'mout of here"? That makes it sound as if youare the only one that matters, not the station_Worse, it makes it sound as if you can't waitto finish your show and you hate your job.

As the PD. you are the role model.whether you want to be or not. Otherannouncers will pick up your habits. S

Whether you are new or experienced, a common mistake isassuming the audience never changes. It does-constantly.

Don't defeat yourself with unfair expec-tations-one way to get ulcers is to try to doeverything yourself. Perhaps you feel yourstaff won't help you. in which case. there isa communication failure that really needs tobe dealt with immediately. Even in a smallmarket where everybody has to wear a num-ber of hats. there should be a sense ofTEAM. not one person suffering for every-one else's failings. If you are in such a situa-tion and you feel it is impossible for thingsto change. then get as much experience asyou can and look for a better position beforeyou become too resentful.

Khaled - The Ambassador Of Rolwowomedp,itniveen

Khaled had been living for almost loyears in France before he became a ie.,nised star. For years, he had been re,ing hundreds of songs for crooked pr,,,1,1,ers who didn't pay him any royRan he, his first "real" album, with nipproducers Martin Mebeonnler and Sat".Boutella, recorded in 1988. proved thathis inctedible vocal talents had unlimitedpotential if they were recorded in a properenvironment.

His first self -titled album for Barclayfollowed, and its Top 10 hit Didi pushedKhakx1 to crossover success, even thoughradio support was rather limited. The suc-cess of Didi showed there was mom thanjust exotic interest and something in hismusic could appeal to anyone. anywheretwith the support of MTV Asia, Khaled isa huge star in India, having sold sonic400001) units'. Overall, this album sold700.000 units, with 150.000 in Francealone.

One of Khaled's universal messagescomes from the fact that he is probablyone of the greater living blues men.Although not operating in the traditional12 -bar genre. Khaled's a pure blues man inthat v, hat he sings comes front the deep ofhis heart and the tension in his voicemakes the listener feel there is no directrelief.

Jean -Jacques Dufayet. who producesthe daily radio programme "Pazz AndJops From France" in Paris broadcast onTokyos FM station J Wave, considersthat "it was logic that Khaled emerged asthe leader of the Rif wave and gainedinternational recognition. Didi was a trialto offer a product that could appeal to thelargest public. And having succeeded isfantastic especially when you know all theprejudices French have against Arabs."

For Barclay's president Pascal Negre,the challenge faced by the label and theartist with the new album N'ssi N'ssi was"to avoid repeating the identical songs andoffering a clone." Says Negre, "The previ-ous album was a major step for Khaled.He reached a new public. We have to con-firm that and really establish him as a con-sistent seller and not the man of one singlehit."

The album has been quickly recordedand produced. What made it happen wasthe decision by film maker BertrandBlier to ask Khaled to compose somesongs for his new movie "1,2.3 Soleil,"just released in France. Marc Thonon.A&R director for Barclay. recalls, "Wehadn't finish exploiting the previous albumand then came the Blier offer. The meet-ing between Blier and Khaled was thestart of a real artistic collaboration. We didsome tracks with Don Was but it wasn'texactly what Blier was looking for. Weput the Don Was songs aside and lookedfor another producer who could give amore 'traditional' sound.

"The choice of Philippe Eidel becameobvious. He has a good knowledge ofsoundtracks and has an interesting

approach to ethnic music. Eidel cut fivetracks with Khaled. So from what shouldbase been a contribution to a movie, wehad enough material for an album."

The songs were then handed to DaveBothrill, who worked on Peter Gabriel'sUS album, and Richard Evans, recom-mended by Eidel, from the Real WorldStudios who took the raw material andmixed it.

was produced by Lau-

rent r;tieneau, who worked with rap band1 Am. In addition, it was decided to re-ieconl an old Khaled song, 57tebm, forwhich Was made a more dynamic version.

The result is what some critics inFrance consider as Khaled's hest album todate, with more variety in styles and defi-nitely the mark of a great talent.

The album has a general releasethrough Europe (it is already charted inHolland). and will be released in the USthrough Polydor's sub -label Cohiha early1994: in Japan the album will be issued inOctober. Khaled will be touring Europe inNovember. A series of shows are plannedat the Paris Zenith hall in March.

Comments Nanou Lamblin, in chargeof the international development of thelocal PolyGram catalogue, "The globalspirit is good. It is easier than with the pre-vious album, where our job was to first tomake people aware of the artist. Now, heis better known, he has media recognitionand a group of followers in most com-mies. We will try to focus more on thealbum and increase radio exposure."

The first single, the mid -tempo SerbiSerbi, was shipped to French radio withlimited effect so far. Comments Negre,"All I can say is that French media areconsistent. Except for a few of them, Didihad limited airplay, and this time. it's quitethe same. But who cares? We are learningto work without radio support. The pressreaction is good, we have the concert tocome. TV channels are more supportivethan last time, our video is receiving goodairplay. even on MTV Europe."

Broadcasters have a cautious approachto such music. Most say it doesn't fit theirformat, and some have a wait -and -see atti-

tude. Laurent Bouneau, programmedirector of EHR net Skyrock, who wasone of the first to support Didi two yearsago, said he will remain supportive toKhaled but is reluctant to play the first sin-gle. which is not coherent with the soundof the station. Adds Bouneau, "I will playSheba, however, as it has a good dancebeat. I think this music has more chancesto reach the audience when it has a danceflavour, like Ofra Haza for example."

Javier Pons, programme director ofM40, has put the song in light rotation. Ifhe acknowledges that it represents a musi-cal trend, he says it suits a very targetedand "hyped" audience.

M&M TrackFax data shows, that inthe rest of Europe airplay on Serbi Serhi isso far limited to pubcasters only. Theyinclude TROS Radio 3 and Het Station/Hilversum, BRTN Studio Brussel andSwiss Couleur 3/Lausanne.

Elaborating On the language problem,Negre contends that "he doesn't expectnational FM networks to play songs inArabic. An Arab singer who sings in Ara-bic is still frightening. But it will change."

"We don't care about the prejudicepeople have against Arabs. It's time toopen to other cultures, Otherwise I would-n't have signed Khaled. He often jokes mesaying that 'it took a nigger to sign anArab' [play of words based on the mean-ing of Negre. which can stand for niggerin French'. I want to share that passionand help people discover something dif-ferent. I IUD very proud h have an artistlike him on my label."

MUSIC & MEDIA SEPTEMBER 24, 1


France Swings Doors Open For JazzThe French jazz market is the world's third largest after the US and

Japan, and represents 2-3% of the total music market. But apart from itseconomical power, France has a special position in the world, as one of

the most open territories to jazz musicians, especially from the US.

The legend of jazz is full of Americanmusicians who crossed the Atlantic Oceanfir good or for a limited period of time tobe welcomed by respect and success inFrance. These artists range from MilesDavis. who composed the music to theFrench movie "Ascenseur Pour L'tchafaud"in the late '50s and enjoyed the life in SaintGermain-des-Pres with singer JulietteGrim to Quincy Jones, who studiedmusic in Paris with Nadia Boulanger andbecame one of the top arrangers for EddieBarclay: from Sydney Bevhet, whonwonled most of his records for the FrenchVogue label, to Dee Dee Bridgewater, oneof the world's jazz "divas".

Frances welcome tradition has beenconstant and is still alive. "American jazzmusicians like our country' because they aremuch more respected here as musicians andcreators than in their own country," claimsJean -Jacques Pussiau. who founded theindie jazz label Owl Records some 20years ago. "In addition, there are few inde-pendent labels in the US and few occasionsto play live. Here, they find labels. festivalswhere they can perform, and a eeneralrespect for their music. The occasions formusicians to record are not that numerousand they are seduced by what we can offerthem."

For Jean -Philippe Allard, director ofPolyGram Jazz in Paris. "American musi-ci:ms are used towording withEuropean labels.Until the arrival ofWinton Marsalis.US labels werenot interested injazz musicians.Now, they haveawakened. butmany musiciansstill prefer to signwith Europeanlabels. They havethe feeling thatthey are bettertreated."

In fact, sincethe late '80s. Poly -Gram Jazz-

Francis Dreyfus, producer for Jean -Michel Jarre,has recently developed a jazz catalogue signingAmerican artist Steve Grossman and French actsRichard Galliano and Michel Petrucciani.

which commands over 30% of the totalmarket. mostly with the Verve and Emar-cy labels, according to Allard-has slowlybut steadily become a source of talent forthe overall PolyGram network of compa-nies. along with New York and Tokyo.Today, the label's jazz roster includes some20-25 musicians and is the only major tohave an active A&R policy in jazz. Poly -Gram Jazz France has acts such as JohnMcLaughlin, Abbey Lincoln, Helen Mer-rill, Hank Jones, Lou Levy, Kenny Bar-ron and Dee Dee Bridgewater under itshood.

Recalls Allard, "In the beginning, it wasjust a marketing and promotion structure.But I started to receive more and moreoffers from musicians and received the go-ahead to sign acts and when an opportunitybecame obvious, I just went for it. It thengrew like a snowball. It all started thatNay."

What makes PolyGram unique is theact that it also signs local musicians, likehe hand Sixun, Laurent Cuny, Christian

F.seoude and Marc Ducret. It confirms thefact that France has been and still is-somesay more than ever-a major talent sourcefor jazz, with the existence of some of theworld's most revered musicians. Veteranslike Stephan Grappelli or ClaudeBolling and more recently Jean -Luc Ponty(see review on his latest album, page 8),Didier Lockwood and Michel Petruccianihave been the jazz musician ambassadorsfaun France around the world.

Comments Pascal Anquetil, director ofthe Information Centre On Jazz, a struc-ture financed by the Ministry of Culture,"Since the late '70s, there has been a fantas-tic 'boom' in the local French jazz scene. Alot of effort has been put in the training ofmusicians. The result is the existence of ageneration of excellent musicians, veryskilled technically. I don't think we can talkof a French jazz style as such, but there is aFrench way of playing jazz. as highlightedby Michel Portal. Henri Texier or LouisSclavis."

Indies Behind The BoomMost of the creative "boom" has been

handled by a dozen of active independentlabels. "As few majors were signing localartists, only independent labels could doso." says Anquetil. For example, Petruc-ciani recorded six albums for Owl beforebeing signed to Blue Note. Francis Drey-

fus, better knownas the producerfor Jean -MichelJarre, is also ajazz fan and hasrecently devel-oped a jazz cata-logue signingAmerican artists(Steve Gross-man) and Frenchacts (accordionplayer RichardGalliano andMichel Petruc-ciani, who left theBlue Note label).

One of theleading indielabels is Label

Bleu, created in 1986 by Michel Orier,founder of the Jazz Festival Of Amiens.Orier explains how he started the label as aside activity for the Maison de la Culture ofAmiens, the city's cultural center. "Fromthe activity of concert organiser I proposedto set up a recording studio. It was the startup of the label. Since 1986, we havereleased some 70 albums and about 20 actsare signed to us. Our ambition was to signartists and follow them in the long run, likePortal, Texier or the ONJ 'NationalOrchestra of Jazz]. I think we now have theimage of a creative and coherent label. Theartistic policy of the label is decided uponfrom my own tastes."

Label Bleu is a very specific case of alabel that's part of a global and larger pro-ject. Explains Christine Hautcoeur, incharge of production, "We are creating asort of Music Centre with the ambition tobecome a reference at a national level. Itencompasses the two theatres of the Maisonde la Culture. two brand new studios, thelabel, the festival and the concerts produced

here. There is A direct linkbetween the artists weprogramme and the label.For example. we take

advantage of the :Mistspresence in Amiens torecord to have them playlive, and so on."

A ToughMarket Place

Bw ii11.11eVer the sizeof the label, the marketlaws remain tough. PascalAnquetil points out thateach month. with theaddition of new releasesand reissues, there are

more than 300 recordseach month to hit thestores. As a consequence,"most labels limit theirproduction or becomemore selective," he says.Allard adds that "con-sumers are lost in the flowof reissues and it discour-ages them."

The competition forspace in stores is crucialto the well being of arecord. "It's a very tightmarket and it's hard toreally expand from a spe-cialised network of stores," says Allard,who considers that there are 200 stores thatsell jazz products, mostly the FNAC chain,the Virgin Megastores and some indepen-dent retailers. Orier adds that he makes80% of the label's sales with only 65 storesand 80% with 250 stores. "There are a lotof places in France where you can't evenbuy a jazz record if you want to," statesOrier.

Jazz "diva" Dee Dee Bridgewater is one of the several Americanjazz artists to sign to a French label (PolyGram Jazz).

are exclusively open to jazz. "There is noth-ing but live appearances to promote anartist," says Anquetil. "And in that senseFrance is a heaven for musicians. I simplyregret that festivals tend to programme topAmerican musicians and avoid taking riskswith new artists. We also start to have aproblem with small and mid -size venues."

Fsport is becoming a concem for alllabels. .A label like Russian's Owl Records

I don't think we can talk of a French jazz style as such, butthere is a French way of playing jazz, as highlighted

by Michel Portal, Henri Texier or Louis Sclavis.- Pascal Anquetil, director, Information Centre On Jazz

As a result, sales targets are limited.Allard considers that a "good sell" is whenthe album exceeds 5.000 units. "Sellingover 10.000 is the exception and between35.000-50.000 is a crossover album, but ithappens twice a year," remarks Allard."There are few jazz record buyers inFrance, but individually they buy a lot ofrecords. You could say that most recordshardly sell 2.000 units but there are a lot ofrecords that sell these 2.000 units! Theaverage jazz buyer is around 35 years old,well educated, from a urban environment,rather wealthy and passionate."

Most agree the main problem is the lackof media exposure. "There are few thingspossible." says Allard, who regrets there isno jazz radio station in Paris. "We workmainly with press, from dailies to maga-zines. Radio exposure is almost concentrat-ed on the public stations, which are veryuseful outlets. FIP in Paris has a daily pro-gramme and Radio Nova often adds jazztunes to its playlist, but it's rather poor."

The Land Of FestivalsWhat makes France a real feast for jazz

musicians is its very strong map of festi-vals. Anquetil has counted over 200 festi-vals in France that play jazz, of which 150

makes half of its turnover outside France.Owl just inked a exclusive seven-yearworldwide licencing deal with EMI. "I wastired of all the mess of dealing with all thedifferent distributors," says Pussiau. "Now,my records will be available around theworld."

Orier has also increased its export activ-ities, with Europe as a prime target. Thelabel is distributed in Germany by BMGand HID in Italy. Sales from exports rose50% these past months and it represents35% of the label's income.

For the past four years, French jazzindie labels have been present at MIDEMwith the support of the Ministry of Culture.Each year, some 15 labels have benefitedfrom this service. Anquetil, who co-ordinat-ed this event, views it as a way to "allowthese labels who couldn't afford it to be pre-sent at the most important business gather-ing. It is a door open to the outside mar-kets."

The picture might look rather dark butdespite all the problems faced by jazzlabels, Orier confesses he is "not pes-simistic because there are a lot of peoplewho love this music. We have to inventways to reach them."

What Silence Knows - Cooltempo D/EHR/ACE

PRODUCER: Michael PedenMassive Attack's public face is now singingfor her own benefit. The ethereal arrange-ments, melodic compositions, and her

prominent voice make her the alternativeChaka Khan. It comes naturally. The materi-al, although very rhythmical, is never toodemanding. When one guitar is enough for asong, she leaves it like that, making Inside

Out unforgettable. The single One Goodbye

In Ten is a one in a million ballad. This solodebut is an absolute classic, to be packagedin a future boxed set for release in 2013.

RANDY TRAVISWind In The Wire- Warner Brothers C/ACE

PRODUCER: Steve Gibson

Fortunately Travis hasn't stepped into the

Cyrus boohytrap, and remains faithful to his

laid back country roots. With the finest

voice in the entire scene, he provides aset

reminiscent of the times of the singing cow-

boy. With the traditional The Old Chisholm

Trail-"Yippee Yippee Yay"-the"good

guy" will dismount from his horse right into

your studio.

Andrew Strong Takes The Rocky Road For Solo DebutIt sometimes happens that fantasy becomes reality, and the film actorsteps from the silver screen into the real world, ,Andrew Strong, aliasDeem the main character of box office hit "The Commitments" and

lead singer of fictional soul hand by that 'wine, is now a bona fide soloartist with an album coming out on MCA on September 27, aptly enti-tled "Strong." With a sales base (14.5 million worldwide from the two

soundtrack albums, he is enjoying a dream flying start.

UNITED KINGDOM6y Robbed Till,

The I9 -'ear old Andrew Strong is a soulman through and through. and has evidentlyabsorbed the complete Stax catalogue. Theposture of the Irishman is not unlike JoeCocker. with whom he shares massive"Sheffield Steel" vocal chords. It should beno coincidence that MCA has linked this tal-ent with one-tine.maker land Don Henley)producer Danny Kortchmar and bass playerT.M. Steven.

Strong was surrounded by a stellar crewof sessioneers dunng the recordings. You canhear nag N -pensive Winos from the KeithRichards circle-guitarist Waddy Wachteland drummer Steve Jordan. whose appear.lace is a &manatee for a nice open soundSS ith no jiggery pokers and synthesisers. just

like Strong wanted his albino to he.The tracklisting is a collection of mainly

well-chosen covers, of which (She's) SomeKind Of Wonderful will have to compete withBuddy Guy's and Paul Rodgers' duet ver-sion of the Soul Brother Six standard, bestknown from the hit for Grand FunkRailroad in 1975. Most remarkable is thesmartly disguised AC/DC rocker Girl's GotRhythm, brilliantly punctuated by theUptown Horns. The lead off single is theBobby "Blue" Bland tune Ain't Nothing YouCan Do, sound -wise close to a JohnMellencamp rendition of the Clash classicShook/ I Stay Or Should I Go riff. The icingon the cake is Stong's wonderful diction,which is almost identical to former R.E.Mproducer Don Dixon, especially on the supe-rior ballad Bitter Earth.

The album is everything but a third vol-ume of the Cuirmitmenty soundtrack albums.

Strong has put on his rocking boots andstrapped on his soul history, along with hismanager Chris O'Donnell. "After Andrewrecorded demo's, he was trying to find asound of his own. I thought that he shouldn'tmove too far away from a R&B groove,because that's where most British acts in thepast started. He canalways develop asound of his own afew albums hence.We strived for asound hest describ-able as the Free orBad Company, witha horn section, ratherthan reviving Otis orWilson like he usedto do."

Remarks MCAinternational market-ing manager MaxMfiller, "This solodebut is meant to be different from theCommitments. Otherwise people would askfor Mustang Sally till the end of time. It's anunpolished rock 'n' roll album without a high -profile campaign, which is as it should be fora guy at his age with a longterm career ahead.

"Of course we'll tie in with the fact that he

Louise Hoffsten Unifies The Rhythm & BluesSWEDEN

ii,oripert Tar --

The term "rhythm & blues" has eroded a lotsince the '40s and the '50s. The original com-mon denominator for blues -based music ismow often used for black music in general,roughly soul to swingbeat.This is a rather confusing manner of typecast -mg sery dissimilar acts. because for someBonnie Raitt and the FabulousThunderbirds are considered as R&B. whileothers think bands like En Vogue and H -Town better fit the nomenclature.

With the new album Blonde & RhytIon bySwedish songstress Louise Hoffsten bothcamps in the terminology war have their way,

because this music is appropriate to tit underone, universal R&B umbrella. BMG SwedenA&R manager Hans Larson explains thatthis was the whole idea behind the recordingof the set. "In our opinion it's still R&B. Wewanted to maintain the traditional flavour, butset to a '90s atmosphere. We wanted tobroaden the sound a bit. The difference withthe four previous albums is that this one is farmore rhythmical."

The new musical direction paid off,because for the first time the blonde singerscored two top ten single hits with Hit MeWith Your Love Thing and Let The Best ManSing, gutsy songs with a directness whichshould make Roxette look green with envy.She doubled her usual album sales, and she is

now only one inch from platinum (100.00(1copies sold). The last push will be given bythe new single, the perfect pop song AllAbout Numbers.

Hoffsten's music comes closest to BonnieRaitt after a visit to a disco. Like her bigAmerican influence, she's also a virtuoso onher instrument, which in her case is a har-monica instead of a guitar.

Like a vampire she sucks her harp, andlike a true "suffragette vamp" she writesintelligent lyrics. Padded Bra about a disillu-sioned woman who kicks out her lover is afine piece of musical poetry, and thefavourite track for most Swedish radio pro-grammers.

McClean Causes Foundation Of BrilliantUNITED KINGDOMby Robbert Tifli

Like taboos, pledges are only there to bebroken, so it seems. When Neil Ferrisfounded Ferret & Spanner back in1980-now UK's biggest PR company forelectronic media-he vowed never to starta record company himself. Thirteen yearslater he has put aside all scepticism, andthe Brilliant label is born. Its first release.Bitty McLean's reggae cover of the oldFats Domino New Orleans R&B classic ItKeeps Raisin' (Tears From My Heart), isan instant chart success. The 2 I -year oldsinger finds himself in good company. sur-rounded by 26 big names on the roster ofthe mother company, including the likes ofthe Rolling Stones, U2, Depeche Mode

18

and Neneh Cherry.UB40, one of Ferret & Spanner's first

clients, talked Ferris into it and he was sold

on the spot. Reminisces Ferris, "AliCampbell phoned me and told me I had tolisten to Bitty's demo tapes. I recognisedhis 'star potential' instantly. Let's do it, Ithought. and suddenly we had a label.decided for the future only to sign radio

and TV -driven acts, because that's what we

know about from our background in PR."McLean started his vocation as a tape -

Op for UB40, and is credited on their new'

al bum Promises And Lies as co-producer,

engineer and hacking vocalist. The bandencouraged him to embark on a solo career,

and the rest is history. At the moment he is

cutting his solo album Just To Let You

KI1014',.. due for release mid November. On

the tracklisting more obscure covers arementioned.

Signed to Brilliant. Publisher: EMI/Newton Sounds. New album: Just To Let You Knorr... tobe released on November IS. New single: It Keeps Raining (TearsFrom My Eyes) released on July 19 in theUK: currently. it is charted in the UK atnumber 3. Ireland (12) and Holland (39),resulting in a number 12 position in theEurochart Hot 100 Singles. Recorded at Dep International/Bir-mingham. Producer: Bitty McLean. European releases: Benelux ( Dureco),GSA (Intercord), Scandinavia (Sonet),France. Spain, Italy (all three on Virgin).

was the singer of the Commitments.A sticker

on the album will be used as areminder for

the consumer. We don't want to pigrionholehim as rock or soul. In our plan we want toestablish him across the board. That

seems towork. because in Germany we didn't

only getthe specialised music press interested,

butalso the women's mag-azines."

In the marketswhere he already had

abig sales base MCAwill run a street postercampaign. Directlyafter the shooting ofthe video in L.A. bydirector Tony Kayeiof

Oclobtar will bespent with pan-European promo. Forthe launch of the 10-track sibum MIT ,1 is

still looking for the right locations in ,each ter-ritory. preferably Irish pubs to keep things aslow-key as possible. Strong's appearancewith his 11 -piece new band at the prestigious"Rock Over Germany" festival has been agood appetiser for his European tour inNovember.

Camr)s Signed to RiBMG. Publisher: BMG. New album: Rhythm & Blonde released inMarch, is now at number 2 in the Swedishchart. New single: All About Numbers releasedon August 30. Recorded at Polar/Stockholm. Producer: Leif Larson. European releases: The album is out inNorway. Finland, Denmark and Germany.

SHORT TAKES One Day I'll Fly Away is the title of aMagnum compilation put together incollaboration with KLM Royal DutchAirlines. It of course contains the same -titled Randy Crawford song. alongwith Neil Diamond's Sks1,ird and otherromantic ballads. P -funk president George Clinton hasconfirmed that a Parliament reunion isin the can. Meanwhile he is gearing upfor a new album that will feature Dr.Dre, Public Enemy, Herbie Hancockand the Red Hot Chili Peppers amongothers.

Cliff Richard's old band theShadows have found a (temporary)replacement for their spectacular leadguitarist Hank B. Marvin. It's Roydon,a so-called "Indo rocker" from Holland.For their upcoming UK tour they havechanged their name into the MoonlightShadows. A Tom Petty hits package on MCAis due for release in November.
