New Year blues dog albuïtîsales

by Ben Cardew If further evidence of the chal- lenges facing the music industry were needed, the UK market has kicked off 2007 with combined album sales at their lowest point for five years, led by a nosedive in sales of artist albums. Weekly sales of artist albums od in 2006 for 11 of the fimt 13 weeks of2007, with the resuit that total artist album sales for the quarter were 8.94% lower than at the same point last year, at 25,372,880 units. This compares to artist album sales of 27,865.584 in the first quarter of 2006 - a figure boosted by massive initial sales of Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What l'm Not Equally, it was down on sales of 27,463,409 artist albums in the first quarter of2005,27,198,750 units in QJ 2004 and 26,035,093 in Ql 2003 - but an increase on the 23,799,258 artist albums sold in QJ 2002, when the world was in the midst of an économie downtum. The fall in artist album sales is being felt across the board. The UK's biggest selling artist album of the first three months of 2007 - Amy Winehouse's Back To Black - sold 467,820 units in the 13-week period, the lowest saies of a first- quarter biggest seller since Stéréo- phonies' Just Enough Education To Perform, which sold 359,836

Further down the chart, the 40th biggest selling artist album of the first quarter of 2007 - The Good, The Bad And The Queen's eponymous début - sold 77,878 units in the period. By contrast, the 40th biggest seller of Ql 2006 - David Essex's Greatest Hits - sold 89,970 units in the quarter. And, the 75th biggest selling artist album of Ql 2007 - the Kaiser Chiefe' Employment - sold

These figures suggest that legitimate download sales are still not yet at the point where they can provide a genuine substitute for ailing physical sales. It has been suggested that this is due to the still slow sales - rela- tively speaking - of the download

albums market, with a modest 982,713 digital album bundles sold in the first quarter of 2007, compared to 609,925 in Q2 2006 (the first quarter in which down- load album sales were incorporat- ed into the charts). While a BPI spokesman stress- es that UK business overall contin- ues to perforai better than much of the rest of the world, 7DigitaI managing director Ben Drury believes the new EMI/ Apple deâl can provide a timely boost for the download albums market "It is really clever the way they have done it They are trying to nar- row the gap between single tracks and albums. The price of a single download goes up [for the premi- um package], but album prices stay the same. So albums become better value digitally," he says. "It is too early to Write off the download album. We are working with a number of labels on album price campaigns. Personally, I think a download album needs to be around £5. The price déflation of physical product has been so strong you can often get physical albums for under £5. An album should be cheaper digitally." While one major label source indicated last week that the inter- national market reached a "tip- ping point" at the end of last sura- mer, with sales in décliné since then, EMI Group CEO Eric Nicoli suggests that the growth of album sales is encouraging. "Interestingly, inthe US, album ire growing faster single track downloads, year on year - 10% or 15% faster," he says. "Ali of our research and the audit data suggest that albums are still vety popular with fans.

Welcome to the

Wild (South) West

Last Sunday, more than a quarter of a million people from around the world were hanging des- perately on the end of phone lines in the hope of heing hicky enough to hand over £145 to spend three days in a festival in Somerset. Most of the successfiil applicants will doubtless arrive at Glastonbury and then haul their mud-stained bodies back home three days later, but the smarter music fans should stay on a while, because down in this corner of the world some- thing spécial is happening. You wouldn't exactly call it a scene - the area is too big and the bands too diverse for that - but what you will find down there is that the region's small industry of labels, venues and promoters has come alive and is supporting a network of exciting bands and gigs that fall completely off the radar of a London-centric music industry. Of course, the great problem the West Country has always faced with music is that it isn't thought of as being ternbly hip. Whereas the likes of London, Manchester or Leeds are seen as centres of music trends, the West Country is too often thought of as a rural backyard where people live like the Darling Buds Of May and are too busy making butter to care about records. The truth, however, is that kids are picking up guitars and starting bands as never before and, thanks to the growth of universities in the région, demand for live music is outstripping supply, constantly raising opportunities for budding One man who has decided to settle - or, at least, to re-settle - in the area is Tom Friend. After 12 years working in A&R in London, he has now moved to Bristol, where he is part of the Island A&R team, splitting his time belween London and Somerset For him, having an A&R based in the région is a record company doing what it should do. "Ifs healthy for us as a label to have people devoted to a certain area," says Friend. "In Lon- don, you can get caught up in the scene and you end up seeing the same bands as everyone else." It is a policy that paid oft'. In his first month on the job, Friend signed Bristol band Malaki to Island after being tipped off by Portishead instru- mentalist Geoff Barrow, who jointly runs his own label Invader Records in Bristol. "As high and mighty as it sounds, ifs great to be able to give something back to the area after spending so long in London," says Friend. "Ifs really healthy at the moment - there are some really good venues and some exciting live events happening." Heading further into the région, Comwall is a county that has come alive with live music in recent years. Perhaps the biggest driver of this

régénération has been Katy Thomas, who set up the promotion company SWl Productions in Truro, which brings acts such as Enter Shikari, Newton Faulkner and Jack Johnson to the région. SWl is also the booking agent for Newquay's three-day festival Unleashed, which taps into the strong surfer community that gath- ers from as far afield as Australia and New Zealand every summer, with 10,000 fans attend- ing every year. For Thomas, Comwall's live music scene has come on in leaps and bounds. "Ifs changed an awful lot," she says. "The agents and promoters would ignore it because they see it as a cul de sac where you have to drive out the same way you drove in. But theyVe seen that there are really strong fanbases and a massive demand for bands, who get a better réception here than anywhere." However, the availability of venues is an issue. The main theatre in Truro is the Hall, which has

a 6,000 capacity but is heavily subscribed with bookings ranging from The Tweenies to local lad-made-good James Morrison. There are also the Princess Pavillon in Falraouth, the Acorn Theatre in Penzance and the Key Theatre in St Austell, but are ail much smaller. It raeans fans often have to drive over the border to Devon for large indoor music events and this, says Thomas, means there is huge potential for an enterprising venue developer. "If ever there was an opportunity for a pur- pose-built music venue, ifs here," she says. "There are a lot of kids down here now. Truro col- lège has massively expanded and there's a big music department there. We'd love a 400 to 800- capacity venue that would be licensed for ail âges." But the undisputed live music capital of the région is Bristol, which those in the know say is buzzing with new guitar bands. One of its keen-

fff t ? i* m

r

est fans is Emma Barrow, a former A&R who moved ffom London five years ago after meeting her husband, Portishead's Geoff Barrow. She went on to set up publicity Company Erapress PR, a move that bas proved to her that it isn't essential to be based in London to work in the music industry. "I don't find it difficult,' she says. "In London there are hundreds of thousands of bands, but they gel lost in the woods. Here, bands can't bide in the woods for long." Indced, she even believes it ean prove bénéfi- ciai to remain in the West Country rather than make the traditionai break for London at the ear- liest opportunity. "Evcryone in A&R worth their sait will travel anywhere to see bands, so I don't think it's necessary to go to London. Ail the majors are based there, but there's no reason why the business can't be donc in London and the Cre- ative aspects locally. It can damage bands to be

removed from the scene where they came together." Talking of scenes, Barrow says there is an incredible excitement surrounding the new young guitar bands playing in venues across the city which, ironically, is still best known for the bedroom-based beats sound first popularised more than 15 years ago. And some ofthose bands are very young indeed. The Naturals, for exam- ple, are not only ail 14 years old, but who also have their own record label, Buy Out Records. They are joined by a host of contemporaries including I Say Marvin, My Elvis Blackout and Ruarri Joseph, who are ail aiming to follow acts such as Muse, James Morrison and Joss Stone on the list of successful West Country exports. Helping them is a decent sélection of venues on offer, from the ever popular rock'n'roll haven of the Louisiana - which has a réputation for being able to book buzz bands just before they

really take off - to the altogether grander St George's Hall. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Social has taken over a boat in the docks which is used for gigs, and there is also the Fleece. More excit- ing still, Bristol Colston Hall is currently under- going a £50m refit - £15m more than was spent on the radical transformation of Wembley Arena - and is due a spectacular reopening next year. Less encom-aging, however, is the progress of the long-anticipated Bristol Arena. A site for the planned 10,500 seat venue has been identified in a prime location next to Bristol Temple Meads station, but sources close to the deal say that plans are stalling because of a lack of willingness from the govemment to invest public money in the project, especially at a time when London's 2012 Olympics are pulling so heavily on the public purse. But, although funding for the arena may not be forthcoraing, public money is available to sup- port bands on a more grassroots level through schemes based in the area. The best example of this is Dartington Plus, a music development agency which is funded by the Arts Council and is known for running annual industry event South West Sound, as well as the label South West Recordings, which aims to operate as a singles club for new bands from the région. The organisation^ créative enterprise fellow Matt Booth says it can help new acts both finan- cially and by introducing them to the emerging network of industry figures based in the area who will be able to offer assistance. Booth says, "What we're able to do is to get bands rehearsed properly and then take them into the studio and tell them which tracks work, then take the highlights of that session and make an EP. We can also help them out with getting gigs and sorting out merchandising and their MySpace site." Another organisation helping to support new artists is the South West Music Industry Forum. A collection of 10 sub-groups from towns and counties across the South West, it aims to provide a voice for the region's music and to promote it to govemment and the wider music industry. The South West is, in short, working as an ever more unified force, where infrastructures are forming and bands are learning that it is possible to tour and build réputations without heading further east than Dorset. Such an infrastructure is the resuit of a lot of hard work from the local music industry. It is sat- isfying for those involved that the rewards are now beginning to emerge. Many of them have the potentiel to trouble the chart in the future, and it would be a notable suc- cess for the région if any of them can do this with- out having to uproot and move to London.

Once A Thief ri

From: East London Détails: While James Bachmann (vocals/guitar), Patrick Mullally (bass) and Andrew White (vocals/guitar) were ail dreaming of making indie pop rock back when they were mère school chums, they soon came to the réalisation that they were lacking a mer. Stumbling across a ferai Craig Long in tlie woods living with a pack of wolves - or so they say - the trio took him in and trained him to talk through the médium of drums. This in turn gave birth to Once A Thief, a band that are a cross between early Blur, a heavier Specials and a hyperactive Ray Davies. Hear them here: wwwoZundlscovered, co.uk/FinalElgveuaspx

Mr Smith And The B Fiat Band From: London Détails: There aren't many London bands that can boast influences r that dart between Chopin to Marvin Gaye to Primus, but Mr Smith And The B Fiat Band can. Ultimately fun, wrtty stuff, they have been compared to a younger and poppier-funk version of The Streets. The quintet, comprising Ryan Smith (vocals), Nigel Glasgow (guitar), Dave Norman (bass), Sam Bremner (drums) and Scarlett Rose (vocals), croate the kind of songs that are lyrically very poetic and telling, while still being amazingly witty and danceable sonically.

Eoghan Colgan

Clap Disco

From: County Down, Northern Ireland, Newcastle and Glasgow Détails; Singer-songwritcr and doctor Eoghan Colgan pens acoustic rock with a folk twinge, aloug with his band, consisting of Mark Sommcrvillc (guitar), Jamie Haig (bass), Stcvic Ross (drums) and lan Hutchinson (kcyhoards). Togetlier tliey croate cmotional songs, often with a political or topical vicwpoint, ranging from Hurricanc Katrina to the American Civil Rights movemcnL Compared van'ously to Damieii Ricc, Jcff Bucklcy, Coldplay and Snow Patrol, Eoghan Colgan dcfinitely lias the kind of délicate and hauntiugly intense music that will appcal to mass markets on hoth the rock and folk friuges.

r-'- sa

From: Kingston-Upon-Thames and Portsmouth Détails: Clap Disco are Tom Beaufort- Uoyd (vocals/guitar), Sean Bambeiger (guitar), Chris Howard (vocals/guitar), Ben Gunter (bass) and Dave Catmure (vocais/drums). They take from tlie old guard of guitar-heavy rock'n'roll bands of yore such as The Clash, The Beatles and Sex Pistols, while adding the odd dnnn'n'bass element to keep listeners firmly on their toes. As a resuit, their music is a hybrid between the dance offs of Klaxons and tlie dirgey rock of Bloc Party. With songs that reflect the général frantic pace of fife, Clap Disco's music is edgy, excitable and catchy. Hear them here: www.oZundiscovcred. co.uk/FinalElevcn^ispx

n:London Détails; As a five-piece, Trail liave very much a "gang" mentality aboirt them - they make a point of going to gigs and the like together. Desprte claiming very diverse influences from The Waterboys to the Kaiser Chiefs - their music is a very différent beast indeed. Vocally, Charlie Afif (vocals/gu'rtar), Alex Mattey (gurtar/keyboards), Greg Paulett (drums), Eireann Kelly (guitar/bass) and Simon Glynn (bass/keyboards) are more on par wrth bands such as REM, while hailing sonic comparisons to Doves and U2. A delicate, sincere band in the indie pop mould, Trail have an exciting future ahead of them. Hear them here: www.o2undiscovered. co.uk/FinalElevenjspx

From: North London Détails: Looking to the mighty Factory Records roster (Happy Mondays, Joy Division) and hard-hitting rave scene for inspiration, Sol Devious are a raucous mi; of early Nineties indie with Sixties pop sensibiiities. Made up of John Coutts (guitar), Owen Paldry (bass), Olly Ashton Hill (vocals), Nick "Chucks" Smietlik (drums) and Alex Rogers (keyboards) th( quintet got together when they were teenagers to make music they believed was an honest reflection of who they were and where they came from. And mj don't they do it well. Hear them here: www.o2undiscovered. co.tik/FinalEleven.aspx

Ry Byron & The Gentlemen From: Bnghton Détails; As one would expect from a band that is so eloquently titled, singer- guitarist Ry Byron met his fellow Gentlemen, Simon Lane (guitar), Daniel Latliam (bass) and Damien Trent (drums), at The Pendagle gentlemen's club in Brighton. With influences ranging from Elton John, David Bowie, Beethoven and Stevie Wonder, Ry Byron & The Gentlemen certainly offer an eclectic and energetic sound. As well as aspiring to Write songs that will define a génération, the quartet also create songs with the intention of impressing girls dancing at parties - a ploy that Franz Ferdinand used on their début and just look where it got them.

The Bongo Fury The BonGo fury

*

Stockholm and London Détails: The Bongo Fury are essentially tag-team duo Sy Badham (vocals/ instruments) and Johan Klereby (production/beats) with the help of a few friends, waifs and strays here and there. Apart their influences and tastes differ wildly, but together the pair have managed to fuse those stark variations to create a Sound that is a cross between the electro pop of Bis and the kookiness of The Flaming Lips. As Badham says, The Bongo Fury's music is like an addition. "It should have a warning attached, "Enter into the music at own risk', it'll get you hooked and may well blow your mind in the process."

140407 MUS1CWEEK 15

Détails: Formed by school friends Michael Tarrant (vocals/guitar/keyboards), Chris Simmonds (vocals/bass/samples) and Marc Bernard (vocals/drums/samples), Acusis' sound is one that dabbles in fast rock'n'roll and sleazy electro in the same vein as The Killers, Hellogoodbye and We Are Scientists. Their music is retaliatory reaction against their sleepy seaside surroundings which sees the band performing live with an angsty and energy- driven acumen. With songs about love triangles, obsession, daily- life expériences ami more bizarrely the smell of someone else's house, Acusis will certainly be ones to watch in the future.

Impact of DRM-free deal will be felt by the music industry over the commg months

EMI/Apple: dont DRM, it's over

061 ÏÏateîtoSs BiaSre Road CernS London SE19UY ' implil

It is hard not to feel some sympathy for Eric Nicoli and his team. There they were last Monday, the digital kingmaker Steve Jobs in the building, announcing a deal vvhich they hoped would recast EMI in the digi- tal vanguard, as the first DRM-rejecting major. And then, the European Coimnission decided to announce a fully-fledged investigation into the majors' deals with that very same digital retailer. But, how we assess the EMI/Apple deal will be judged not by the headlines of last week, but by the developments of the months to corne. Amove to DRM-free is no surprise from Nicoli - and plenty of others agree with his strategy. Senior managers of many UK record companies beheve it is the way to go, within both majors and indies. On the whole, it is those at the very top of the global industry who beheve otherwise. Hamessing the shift away from DRM with higher- qualily sound créâtes a bizarre situation, however, in which lower-quality tracks continue to be protected, -Me higher-quality music will be open and sharable. Certainly, that is one of the issues which most con- cems some of EMI's fellow majors - along with the implications for mobile, where ail of EMI's high-qual-

ity répertoire will also be playable and sharable. To their competitors, that appears to put short- term need ahead of the long-term opportunities in developing markets such as China, India and Korea. Indeed, what has concemed some major observers

is the motivation which rests behind EMI's move. Is it really ail about freeing up the consumer, reducing the friction, as Barney Wragg insists? Or is EMI attempting to résolve a short-term issue with a move of long-lasting conséquences? Nicoli insists not and on that we must accept his word. But the EMI deal also puts the other majors on the back foot in their crurent talks with Apple - in their efforts either to retain DRM or help raise the price of downloads, at the current bit rate. Of course, their irritation at this is understandable. Apple and Jobs were always tough enough negotia- tors - evenbefore iTunes Music Store began dominat- ing the digital retail market as it does now. But EMI - along with many indies, managers, artists and consumers - would argue that raising nrices or retaining DRM are flights of fancy. And that is an issue which is at the very heart of the

N'Dubz Feva

breaks out

Urban trio to remain true to the DIY ethic for in advance of their third single and début album. N'DUBZ FEVA LAS VEGAS (LRC) The N'Dubz slory is an excellent example of the DIY ethic come good. Not only have the group enjoyed success with self- released singles, but they have adopted a hands-on approach to making videos, producing and publicising their music. And, despite increasingly heated interest ftom major labels, the London-based urban trio are - for now at least - vowing to maintain their independence. The group have to date sold 24,000 copies of their début single I Swear, with the follow-up Life Is Getting Sicker By The Day scooping Choice FM's coveted Record Of The Week slot upon release. Next month, the group will release a third single, itself

something of a rare event in the shrinking crop ofindependent British urban acts. Co-manager Byron Contostavlos says their success to date owes nvuch to the band's word-of-mouth appeal. "Fans keep finding us, rather than us consciously going out and seeking them ourselves," he says. "This time last year their MySpace page listed 500 friends; it has now grown to over 34,000 with hundreds of requests a day." The group's forthcoming third single Feva Las Vegas reached number one on Channel U last month and is currently enjoying support from a growing list of stations including Kiss 100 and Choice. As with their previous singles, it will be released on the band's own label, LRC (Lickle Rinsers Crew) in conjunction with Genepool distribution, both digitally and physically on CD and twelve-inch formats. Contostavlos is hoping that, with the band's forthcoming appearances on MTVs Brand Spanking New and Channel U's Unthugged, N'Dubz will take their music further towards the mainstream. "The act are naturally underground - that is

whistle along to," he says. "The thing about N'Dubz is their crossover appeal. Kids, parents, grannies, they can ail appreciate the hooks and catchy lyrics." Last month Genepool managing director Pete Ward- Edwards began co-managing the band, with the team now working towards recording the band's summer-released début album. "The group have been creating music since they were 12 years old," says Contostavlos. "I hope that they have a long-term career making amazing music that Feva Las Vegas is released on

Travis experience authority

problems in hilarious new promo

Prolific director Mike Baldwin has delivered the first video from Travis's new single Closer, the band's first in four years. And Baldwin, working on a scale above and beyond his previous work, has duiy risen to the occasion. The video has scope, charm - and a fantastic cameo by Hollywood star Ben Stiller. It is set at night in a near- deserted supermarket in American suburbia, where Travis's Andy Duniop and Neil Primrose are idly working the aisles and Dougie Payne is doing a particularly bad Job on the checkouL And Fran Healy? We soon réalise, when he removes his mask, he is out front in a gopher suit handing out flyers. Later, the store manager upstairs Itears Fran singing over the tinny loudspeaker in his office, turns around and reveals himsclf to be a characteristically scowling Stiller.

It is a good first step into the world of rai, rock and Rachid's 20-plus years as one of the world's most distinctive rockers and truth-tellers.

"I knew nothing whatsoever „ Lionheart ; Brothers until I put Hero Anthem on, but it was clear as soon as the I-can't-really-play- the-drums intro melted into the two-chord Stereolab-ish keyboard line and Spiritualized-shaped dramatic rush that I was going to like it.

Popworld Pulp

From the ashes of its original incarnation rises Popworld Pulp, the new officiai magazine to ' Four's Popworld. A year in development, Popworld Pulp will hit the stands for the first time this Wednesday (Apriill). With 650,000 regular Saturday morning viewers, extending the TV shows brand into print média was an obvions move on the part of programme makers and publisher Brooklands Group. Unlike its now-defunct

onthly that specialised in pop acts such as Steps and S Club 7 - Popworld Pulp will be a weekly publication focusing on rock and indie acts tocoincide with programme. Popworld Pulp editor Hannah Verdier believes the éditorial move away from the original magazine's stance is a reflection of how music tastes and the market have changed over the years. "Manufactured pop has declined," says Verdier. "Less readers are interested in it and crédible guitar music and gigs are at a cuitural high. Popworld Pulp has a strong bias towards indie and rock, as that's what 'pop'

First & Farewell (Warner Music Vision 2564643532) 1 BarryManilow still performs | residencies but bis touring days in 2004, when bis One Night I Live! One Last Time! tour wound up at The Pond in Anaheim, Califomia. It was an emotional night and caméras were there to capture a génial Manilow reminiscing and playing his old favourites - Mandy, Could It Be Magic, It's A Miracle and more - to an enraptured audience. Bonus songs from other venues take the playing time up to nearly two hours and there's also a fascinating bonus DVD, which by Manilow's own admission is "very poor" in terms of both audio and video, but which features a previously unseen and historié first rehearsal in New York for his maiden 1974 tour. In front of a small crowd, he tries out material, including a medley of jingles which he bas written which gets a great réception, and the showtune Make Our Garden Grow, which wilts visibly and was never used again. Fascinating stuiï.

R Kelly Live - The Light It Up Tour (Image/Jive 88697056079) R If El l¥ This is R Kelly-s SÎIIfeiiîi first live concert DVD release. This perform- I Paramount I Theatre in Oakland, Califomia, marks Kelly's 15 years of recording. Filmed by 10 high définition caméras, he is in top form throughout, working his way through songs including much- loved classics such as Your Body's Callin', Ignition and We Thuggin'. The live setting and Kelly's enthusiaslic delivery mean that he is not as smooth as he is on record, but there's never a dull moment as he dominâtes the stage and provides an energetic and enjoyable show. As a bonus, the DVD also includes behind-the-sccnes footagc and an interview with Kelly. On the downside, he performs none of his eight UK Top 10 hits, stcering clear of the likes of She's Got Thaï Vibe, I Believc I Can Fly.

Those iliar with the album will be disappointed that Sting, Bono and Paul McCartney, to name just three, didn't recreate their duos with Bennett for this release but Q otherwise be impressed by a line-up including Barbra Streisand, Elton John, Michael Buble, Christina Aguilera and Stevie Wonder.
