  • March 24, 2021 the Success Story of the New BMG in 2008, The
    March 24, 2021 The Success Story Of The New BMG In 2008, the founding of the new BMG marked the beginning of a new era for music at Bertelsmann. A look back at major milestones in the music company’s history. 2008 The new BMG is founded in Germany The digitization of media – including music – had led to a significant decline in the sale of music CDs. Music was increasingly being downloaded from the Internet. Against this backdrop, Bertelsmann decided to set up an entirely kind of new music business. In August 2008, the group announced that it would focus on the management of music publishing and recording rights henceforth. Shortly before this, Bertelsmann had sold its 50- percent stake in the Sony BMG Music Entertainment joint venture to Sony. The goal was now to establish a “licensing and management platform for exploiting and marketing music rights” under the BMG brand. The cornerstone of the business was formed by European catalogs of music rights that had been acquired by Sony BMG, comprising the works of more than 200 artists. Hartwig Masuch was appointed CEO of Berlin-based BMG. The experienced music manager realized from the start that the new BMG would have to offer the industry’s creative professionals a new service model: “The activities of Bertelsmann’s various divisions, in conjunction with the realignment of BMG, offer countless opportunities for us to put together attractive service packages for creatives and rights owners. Our top priority will be to effectively assert the rights owners’ claims and protect their interests.” A few weeks later, BMG Rights Management, as it was then called, commenced business.

  • Alt-J, Consider This…
    Before we consider the eight-track, 40-minute, perfectly poised, symmetrically adroit, boldly inventive brilliance of RELAXER, the third album by alt-J, consider this… A Mercury prize and an Ivor Novello win with their debut. A Madison Square Garden sell-out and a Latitude headline with their second. Number One in the UK, Number Four in the US; three Brit nominations here, a Grammy nomination there. Three years of world touring that have forged a live reputation as fierce as the trio are tall (that is, very). Quietly, resolutely, impressively, singularly, alt-J have become one of the biggest British bands of whatever it is we’re calling the 21st century’s second decade (the “Teenies”? Ugh, no thanks). Art- electro, math-folk, hymnal-rock, call it what you will – none of it’s wholly wrong, all of it is someway right – but the music made by Joe Newman (singer/guitarist), Gus Unger-Hamilton (keyboards/vocals) and Thom Green (drums/electronics) is the muscular sound of cutting edge innovation pumped by a melodically bleeding heart. Ten years after forming at Leeds University, alt-J are a post-guitar group for the new-pop generation. And as audiences all over the world know, when they get going, they rock hard. Gentlemen, your highlights of the 16-month tour in support of 2014’s This Is All Yours, the follow- up to 2012’s An Awesome Wave? Newman: “Israel. We didn’t know we were big in Israel.
