Which in Google translation speak is:
"The English label started last month of the discussions with Morrissey. But if the conditions to accomodate the eighth album of Mancunien (Irish Blood, English Heart) seemed ideal, the rumour d?il has there six months of the signature of Morrissey on the label Sanctuary Records was finally confirmed with the stand of Midem of the English house of discs"
It means nothing to me (Oh Vienna)
Our to defer to Midem 2003, which beats its full until January 23, opened large eyes and left trainé its ears. Account of Cannes where one learns some from beautiful on Morrissey, Mint Source and Ladytron. Midem has paces d?Eurovision. The large fair gathers pros who like the same thing appreciably as us, the rate/rhythm, the good melodies and the texts which kill, except that l?aspect legal and economic of the music is of primary importance here. No large mouth of the international circus of the media and the music business n?admettrait qu?elle comes to sell music stereotyped, staracademic with excess, popstarized jusqu?à l?ultime suffering. Everyone s?entend because all the participants seems to have the direction of the businesses. Midem, c?est thus to summarize a extended mix of "head of programs" of the radios and TVS, the "chief-executives ones" of factories of packaging, "chairmen" of houses of discs, of impassioned much by their trade, much d?Anglo-Saxon and enough of wannabe to fill all the steps of the Palate of the festivals. One meets also completely overrated groups, beautiful chicks in moulding saps, of the caricatural managers but sympas with l?extrême and fortunately also, d?artisans a devoted majority of l?ombre (not always rich) come to distribute calling cards and others flyers and CD samplers of productions of quality. L?image of the artists present at Midem coming from the four corners of the world to collect l?attention of some officers of l?armée of artistic directors walking, badge bringuebalant on inflated chest, and satchel with the colors of their employer well in obviousness is true. Here, large fair with the physique of Danish basketball player, martyrisant his guitar of its stress badly contained, s?est posted in l?allée principal of the ground floor of the Palate of the festivals, in order to be made a first name (a good beginning, it has already almost a name, Drew Broadrick). There, a quintet young girls d?1 meter 55 each one from Chicago "to spice up your life" says their manager, but the crenel is largely occupied thinks one in Cannes. The BPI (British Publishing Institution) organized Monday evening in the room of reception of Martinez special "new talents" brit. After a show without savour of Minuteman, protected from Christmas and Liam d?Oasis on their label Big Brother, the members of the very new independent label London Mint Source were present in square VIP of Martinez Ballroom, discussing easily their perfect inaugural compilation A Hint of Mint. A mixture of pop sweetened, soul-reggae inspired and d?électro pearly, d?instrumentaux firmly influenced by l?asianwave bollywoodienne and the anthems dancefloor of the Eighties to the 808 State, or 90 in the Prodigy. Mint Source was creates by l?ingenior of the his Pascale Gievetto, a Frenchwoman of responsible London there is more d?une ten d?années, inter alia, certain orientations sonic and epic data with Loveless, l?album worship of its pals and close to My Bloody Valentine. Pascale was also of l?aventure of the beginning of Björk solo, without thus forgetting her collaborations behind the console with the duet Gainsbourg-Birkin qu?Elvis less avowable Costello and d?autres (Dave Stewart). Mint Source has the characteristic to want to accompany the artists longest possible without their making sign contracts with extension. The label offers also l?énorme favours to transfer fifty percent of the royalties directly to the artists. English L?avocat Anthony Hall, a ex of Chrysalis Records, certainly will convince d?un more to support l?indépendance with any hair, in the medium of the rock'n'roll, to join the label qu?il directs for three months with Pascale. But l?objectif of Mint Source remains indeed l?application d?un viable model economically. The English label started last month of the discussions with Morrissey. But if the conditions to accomodate the eighth album of Mancunien (Irish Blood, English Heart) seemed ideal, the rumour d?il has there six months of the signature of Morrissey on the label Sanctuary Records was finally confirmed with the stand of Midem of the English house of discs. Mint Source published CD compilation locking up of true pearls of eleven artists coming from Jamaica, London, d?Italie or of Nottingham, an alluring first impression of ten d?albums which prepare to leave (the first will be the first LP d?un 22 years genius Jim Connelly and its group The Last Fast One). Damage, if the compilation of the BPI, distributed to the visitors contains a title d?une heads d?affiche label Heavy Deviance, Mint Source n?est not represented on scene this evening for technical reasons. On the other hand, one of the strongest buzz of these last months on the English electro scene is David Holmes. This evening, the DJ plays in an original configuration. This god of platinums is an elementary choice in this transitional period out of d?electronic matter. C?est a large amateur of crossover. Its love of the synthetic sounds and the instruments roots s?est translates by a concert of its formation Free Association. The group made up d?un rasta of survitaminé Los Angeles and the counterpart d?une Belinda Carlisle period blow-dry and clothing flashy with GO GO, lit a fire without precedent in protected Martinez however super. These forty minutes of intense music point out Big Audio Dynamites of Mick the Jones, even best of the fusion-reggae-funk-hip-hop groups of the beginning of the Nineties. In conclusion, the 15 d?alarme minutes howling started accidentally will establish the link with very good Ladytron. The sound kraftwerkien of these four musicians of Liverpool us replonge in l?ambiance of these booms mad, where it did not n?était rare to s?émouvoir on trémoussement the d?une pretty friend on l?Electricity d?OMD. Ladytron n?a not played only the role d?une "lady-retron", working the scene with Juste this qu?il is necessary d?une heat, very modern, in choreographic displacement. Calculator, the female duet of the front of scene can give birth to from the vague progressive d?émotions in the public, as in kind of a Gothic and hypnotic turnip, where the techno would have been replaced little by little by a fountain d?electronica délicieusement acid. For did the decorum, BPI leave the great play? lights, being reflected on clothing of Reflected the Hungarian woman and Helena l?Ecossaise, perfect headstocks equipped with black and black of make-up. One will retain epic l?interpretation of their single Playgirl, with their voices buried in stridencies of the waves of synthés and the beats of Reuben and Daniel. For the moment Ladytron is l?une only real international feelings of Midem believed 2003. If the French very present on the electronic scene of the show especially seek to allure distributors for the international market, hip-hop tricolour A the dimension. Proof with l?ineffable Laistee Lady, arrival to dredge on the American ground with obviously much d?aisance while playing in the Urban evening of Monday evening at the sides of Wyclef Jean, l?homme of the situation when you seek an organizer of great events. L?homme n?est it known and not respected of all the show biz for its rather funny interventions at the time of the MTV Video Music Awards two years ago? L?énergique Anthony Kavanagh knowing it in Cannes escaped quickly of the times that Wyclef would come to claim royalties to him.
