Os pego un texto de una entrevista realizada al multiinstrumentista Eddie Jobson realizada hace unos cuantos años, en la que se deja bien claro que tuvo que abandonar el sello Private Music debido a que su tercer disco con la compañÃÂa resultaba demasiado oscuro y poco comercial (de hecho al final no se publicó) :evil:
Si ya su disco "Theme of secrets" me parece con diferencia unos de los mejores publicados por el extinto sello de Peter Baumann, este tercer disco sospecho que hubiera sido un trabajo de enormes proporciones creativas.
Jobson fue una de las figuras más interesantes de la escena prog de los 70 (aún recuerdo aquella superbanda UK de dinosaurios que se resistÃÂa a ser exterminada por los emergentes meteoritos punk, en la que él brillaba de una manera espectacular junto con Alan Holdsworth, Bill Bruford o John Wetton).
Private Music se convirtió en los 80 en una alternativa más electrónica al sello Windham Hill, pero por lo visto en todos los sitios cocÃÂan habas, y los chicos de Private con Baumann a la cabeza, era tan ruines como cualquier otra gran discográfica.
Muy triste...
"I was trying to expand out from what New Age was becoming because New Age was starting to become...again rather limiting and become
stigmatized. But unfortunately the record company and I were going in different directions. I was trying to make it deeper, more film-making and much darker. But record company was trying to make their label...in my opinion more commercial.
When they started, Private Music was going to be something different from Windham Hill. It wasn't going to be running water, but it was going to be something deeper than that. That's why I was interested in doing it. I knew they were going to sign Jerry Goodman as well and even Patrick O'hearn. It was a good line of people. I thought everything was going to be a lot deeper. It was much darker album than Theme Of Secrets. But they were basically giving me the same pressure as all the big major labels. They wanted me to change the album. They thought it was too deep and too uncommercial.
Art Rock: So there was disagreement between you and the company.....
Jobson: Yeah, so I basically refused to change it. It would've been a good record. I ended up buying the record myself. I just put it on the shelf. It never got released. So that was it. That was 1987. And I ended up staying in Montserrat for 3 years. (laughs) So that took me through about first five years basically from the Theme Of Secrets, you know. (laughs)"
