Italy takes action against piratesby Mark Dezzani

MILAN -After almost two years of inac-tion, the Italian government is takingpositive steps to crack down on piracy.

Just prior to its summer recess, thegovernment implemented an emer-gency decree to penalise vendors ofpirate recordings.

U.S. trade regulatory body USTRplaced Italy on its priority watch list onpiracy in June-a move which, accord-ing to Enzo Mazza, president of Italy'sFPM (Federation against MusicPiracy), put the country "on a par withmany Third World countries in terms ofthe volume of pirate product sold."

The USTR listing followed a num-ber of delays in ratifying new laws tofight audiovisual piracy in Italy. IFPIestimates put the pirate market inItaly at 20 percent of the official mar-ket in terms of units. Overall, IFPI val-ues the legal Italian market at $593m.

The draft legislation, first proposedin October 1996, was approved by theItalian parliament, but the senate com-mission which had to approve the newlaw rejected it on the grounds that pro-posals to raise maximum prison sen-tences from three to five years were tootough. Mazza, who is also secretarygeneral of IFPI-recognised majorlabels' body FIMI, says: "Oppositionfrom elements within the coalition gov-

ernment's own majority rejected theinitial penalties."

The conimission then proposed amaximum four year jail sentence forthose involved in "higher level piracy"such as production and distribution,with a. maximum sentence of threeyears for "lower levels," such as retail-ing illegal product. However, insistsMazza, "We are dealing with the sameorganised crime groups [as] in drugtrafficking, and too low penalties willnot do anything to deter them."

In an attempt to compensate forhis own government's vacillation overthe legislation, Italian prime ministerRomano Prodi used his power ofdecree to implement sanctionsagainst retailers of pirated product atthe end of July.

The power of decree, aimed pri-marily at unlicensed street traders incities throughout Italy, has to berenewed every six months until it isratified or rejected by parliament andsenate. It allows fines of L5 million-L30m ($2,850-$17,140) to be levied onretailers selling unlicensed audiovisu-al product. The decree also sanctionsthe confiscation of product, furnish-ings and equipment.

Luciano Daffarra, Secretary Generalof FAPAV (Audiovisual Anti -piracyFederation) says: "The decree is animportant measure to fight the phe-

nomenon of illegal product sales whichpervades the streets of certain cities,and against which little has been doneuntil now."

Concludes Mazza: "It is now up tothe local and regional authorities toimplement this decree withoutany delay."

Underlining Mazza's commentsabout organised crime and music pira-cy, IFPI this week announced that it isoffering a $10,000 reward for informa-tion leading to the arrest and convictionof armed assailants who hospitalisedSony Music's licensee in Romania.

The day after he filed a complaintwith the Romanian Copyright Officeabout the sale of pirate cassettes ofSony's World Cup 1998 album (Allez!Ola! Ole!), licensee Sorin Golea wasbeaten and threatened with a gun bytwo attackers. Golea's nose was brokenand he lost two teeth during the attack.

lain Grant, IFPI's London -basedhead of enforcement, says: "This attackis clearly linked to Sorin Golea's com-plaint against music piracy" However,he insists it will not deter IFPI in itsfight against pirates: "Our message toanyone producing music illegally inRomania is that we are now watchingmore closely than ever." IFPI estimatespirate recordings account for 90 percentof sales in the Romanian music market.Additional reporting by Tom Ferguson

Ryko in Blackwell's Palmby Emmanuel Legrand

LONDON - Island Records founderChris Blackwell's return tothe music industry has con-tinued with his acquisition ofU.S.-based company Ryko.

On August 7, PalmPictures, the entertainmentdivision of Blackwell's newumbrella companyIslandlife, paid areported $25 million forRyko's assets, whichinclude record labelRykodisc, its U.S. dis-tribution arm RykoDistribution Partnersand music publishingcompany Rykomusic.

In a statement,Blackwell says: "I amvery excited about thisopportunity to re-enterthe record business withsuch a quality indepen-dent company. I truly believe that anindependent such as Ryko can offer aviable alternative to the majors forany artists."

Under the agreement, Rykodiscwill continue to be managed by co-founders Don Rose and Arthur Mann,and will distribute Palm Pictures'music product around the world. InEurope, Ryko has a network of distrib-utors and licensees which include Vitalin the U.K., Harmonia Mundi inFrance, Rough Trade in Germany andMunich Records in the Benelux coun-

tries. According to Palm Picturesspokesman Gerry Lyseight, its musicreleases will be distributed through

Ryko, except in France, wherePalm is licensed to Virgin."We plan to use Ryko's exist-ing network. It's a very goodset up," he explains.

At Ryko's European head-quarters in London, directorof sales and marketing AndyChilds notes that: "In effect,

our relationshiphad already start-ed with PalmPictures, as theirfirst two releases[Baaba Maal'sNomad Soul andErnest Ranglin'sIn Search Of The

.alga Lost Riddim] havebeen through our network."

Childs says "no changes areplanned" in the foreseeablefuture for Ryko's European

operations-outside distribution/ware-housing, the Ryko and Palm Picturesoffices in London will operate indepen-dently. "But," he adds, "we will proba-bly work closer on marketing and pro-motion to a certain extent."

Rykodisc, based in Salem,Massachusetts, has offices inPhiladelphia, London and lbronto. Itscatalogue includes Mickey Hart,Morphine, Bruce Cockburn, BobMould/Sugar and the complete worksof Frank Zappa; it's also home to theHannibal Records label.

by Charles Ferro

COPENHAGEN - U.S. media giantClear Channel Communications' latestshopping trip to Europe has yielded amajority 51 percent stake inCopenhagen hot AC station RadioUptown and its sister national cableoutlet, the soft AC Radio 2.

The purchases were made throughClear's Danish affiliate, More GroupDanmark. "We are extremely pleasedwith the accord we have reached withour new owners," says Radio 2/Uptownmanaging director Glenn Lau Rentius,who will continue in that role as well asretaining the remaining 49 percent ofthe stations' shares. "This is ClearChannel's first [radio] acquisition inScandinavia, and it will use it as a plat-form for further developments inScandinavian markets."

Clear Channel operates 177 radiostations in its domestic U.S. market, aswell as 76 overseas-in Australia, NewZealand, the Czech Republic and China.It also owns 18 TV stations in 11 differ-ent markets.

According to Radio 2/Uptown salesand marketing manager Jim Receveur,the Danish stations' formats willremain basically the same: "Uptownwill be harder AC, while Radio 2 will besoft AC-but since Radio 2 is national, itwill be playing a bit more Danishmusic," he reveals. "[The take-over] willgive us the push we needed to becomeserious players in the radio business."

Open mike Local routes lead to RAJAR peakDieter GornyPresident, Viva

Five years after launchingas a German -languagealternative to MTV, Viva isnow established as thatcountry's most popularmusic channel. Here,Gorny, "the man behindViva" talks to M&M

about the future of musicTV in Germany.

Q: How did Viva attain its pre-emi-nent position in the German ratings?A: From the beginning, Viva tried to cre-ate really original programming, with aplaylist that truly reflected the situationin the German market, as regards bothtalent and hits; from the beginning,German kids could better identify withthis. Just seven or eight months afterViva started, at the end of 1993, we hada complete turnover of the audience,from MTV to Viva, and since then we'vean unchanged situation in the GermanTV market. Viva continues to performbetter [than MTV].

Q: You're planning a revamp ofViva 2's programming. What'sbehind that?A: After talking with the record indus-try, I got the feeling [that] it's a bigopportunity; it's a huge market -let'sgo in this direction and try to fill theplace MTV occupied some years before.Programme Viva 2 as an MTV competi-tor -more adult, without dance -andrepeat the Viva success. Now, MTV hasno choice but to be a mixture betweenmass market and credibility, while wehave two "pure" formats.

Q: Viva has just launched a newmagazine, Comet. How will that suc-ceed where MTV's German musicmagazine, Xtreme, failed?A: MTV always said "we are MTV andwe can do everything," but I believe insynergies, so for Comet we went to the[German] market leader in youth pub-lishing -the Bravo group -and said"let's try and do something." Viva'slicensing is much more market -orientedand geared to make a profit.

Q: At the moment Germany has fivemusic TV channels -Viva, Viva 2,MTV, VH-1 and ONYX. Can themarket support such a choice?A: No. It's too much. One problem isthat in Germany we don't have theexperience of 30 years handling popculture, as they have in America orEngland where there is, consequently,more acceptance for a format suchas VH-1.

The other problem has to do withcable penetration. If ONYX is in 5-6 mil-lion households, and VH-1 in 9-10 mil-lion, it's not enough in a situation wherethe market is full of channels. I believethat within two years, we'll be down tothree channels: two Vivas and one MTV.

ARTISTS & NUS

DancegroovesMIGHTY REALWith more and more clubs including vintage garage tracksamongst newer sounds, the time is right to re-release 'Ibni DiBart's 1994 classic The Real Thing (Cleveland City/U.K).Now with a neat, orthodox radio edit courtesy of TheMelonheads plus remixes from Klubbheads, Knuckleheadsand Jonesy (of Dex & Jonesy), this promises to be massive.

SWEDES ON THE MOONThe latest Swedish tune to cause a stir abroad is fromStockholm Records' dance imprint Fluid. Pinocchio's FlowerOn The Moon, or more specifically, Jahr's Whooptastic! Mixthereof, is ripping it up in U.K clubs despite the lack of anofficial release. It's also shaping up to be a favourite with theinfluential Mediterranean coastal DJs. The group are cur-rently on a tour of Sweden, sponsored by CHR radio networkNRJ.

APRES-SKI, '60S STYLEBased around lyrics by lounge -core artist Philippe Katerineabout the millionaire's ski hang-out of the same name, Vald7sere by Navis (Rosebud/France) combines a breezy "chan-son" vocal with a genteel breakbeat. An unlikely stylistic jux-taposition-'60s meet '90s-creates an off -beat, dreamy popmoment. The sinuous, instrumental funk of second trackCyberkraft also deserves a listen.

ALMOST SATURDAY NIGHT

ckwood's Sheila HomeItalian/U.S. soul/danceact Blackwood's excel-lent last single Peacedidn't break out of Italy.However, their thirdalbum, Friday Night(A&D/Italy), confirmsthat singer SheilaHome has an extraor-dinarily warm, agilevoice and that thegroup, who havealready scored hits inJapan, France and theU.K, consistantly pro-duce solid-occasional-ly sizzling-tracks.

FREE RANGING EGGSwapping the situationist techno of inaugural releaseAlbumen for a warmer, altogether more organic music ontheir second album Travelator (Indochina/U.K), Britain'sThe Egg have hit on a sound which combines 1960's film -theme grooves with a dash of nu jazz, some progressive rockmoments, a hint of house, lots of wah-wah guitar and aclutch of memorable tunes.

This veritable bouillabaisse of an album was produced byAmerican Tim Holmes, one of dance music's most soughtafter names. Apart from producing the Chemical Brothersand Primal Scream, Holmes is one half of Death In Vegas;his influence is evident in the depth and breadth of thesound and the tough, highly ordered instrumentation.

On Willo, tight, funky breakbeats combine with sampledcello, acoustic guitar and pipe organ (sampled from ThePenguin Cafe Orchestra's Rosasolis) in support of a delight-ful, wheezing melody while Getting Away With It is a twist-ed, filtered Traffic-meets-Radiohead jam.

With gigs lined up around Europe throughout the sum-mer it should be interesting to see how The Egg, who are'rapidly gaining a reputation as a hot live ticket, reproducethe sound on stage.

All new releases, biographies and photographs for con-sideration for inclusion in the Dance Grooves columnshould be sent direct to: Gary Smith, c/o. Roger deLluria 45 -3° -2, 08009 Barcelona, Spain.

Golden anniversary for Auteby Howell Llewellyn

How do you celebrate 31 yearsof making highly acclaimedrecords as a leading Europeansinger/songwriter?

Release a new album with 31songs, of course. And to make ita little different, why not record15 of the songs in your own lan-guage-in this case Spanish-and 16 in English.

That's the tack which Spain'sbins Eduardo Aute has takenwith his double CD Aire 1 Invisible on VirginRecords Espana. The album has alreadynotched up sales of 42,000 copies in Aute's homemarket, and the release of the second single -5Minutos backed by Human Alien-at the end ofthis month is likely to push album sales pastthe gold mark (50,000 copies sold).

Virgin Spain's international exploitationmanager Gema Ventosa says the label is goingto work the album for a comparatively longperiod, at leat "until Christmas." She expectsAire [invisible to be "a classic slow mover" butthat it will continue to sell for a long time.

Up to the release of Aire 1 Invisible, only afew of Aute's most loyal fans knew that the 55 -year -old was actually born in the Philippines toa Catalonian father and a Filipino mother. "Iwent to an English -language school," herecalls, "and didn't start speaking Spanishuntil I moved to Madrid when I was 12." Inspite of this early grounding, Aute had actual -

Luis Eduarda,Aute

ly never recorded a song in English until hebegan to work on material for the new album.

"I've always written better in English than Ican speak it," he says. "In fact, my first poemswere written in English and I still read a lot inthat language." All songs on the new set werewritten by Aute, except for two whose Englishlyrics are by the great, late Portuguese poetFernando Pessoa. For Aute, the words of onehave a particularly special meaning:"Fernando wrote the words to What Matters IsJust You eight days before dying."

Aute says thet making Aire 1 Invisible wasvery rewarding for from an artistic point ofview. "Writing and recording in English wasan adventure, and it gave me the sensation ofdoing something new," recalls Aute. "The oddthing is that now I listen more to the songswith English lyrics than to the CD with theSpanish material. It's like listening to some-body else's songs."

Runga's long-distance Driveby Nigel Williamson

An album of acousticsketches from the otherend of the world is beinghotly -tipped as a con-tender for the Europeanalbum charts this summer.

Drive, the debut set by21 -year old New Zealand -based singer/songwriterBic Runga on Sony Music'sColumbia label (except forthe U.K., where it will beon Epic), will be releasedacross Europe on August24 after topping the chartsat home. Runga also sweptthe board at the 1998 NewZealand Music Awardsearlier this year picking up awards for BestAlbum, Female Vocalist and as SongwriterOf The Year.

"Trends take so long to reach us back homethat we can't jump on bandwagons," saysRunga. This perhaps explains the freshness ofDrive, written and produced by the artist her-self, based on demos which got her signed toColumbia in New Zealand two years ago.Guided by U.S. producer Peter Asher, Rungare-recorded 11 tracks for the album in NewZealand with musicians from Auckland, hometo an internationally renowned alternativerock scene based around local label FlyingNun, before flying to Los Angeles to suprvisethe final mixdown by Matt Wallace (Faith NoMore, Replacements, John Hiatt).

Influenced by bands such as the Smithsand Crowded House, Runga started writing

songs at the age of 16. "Iprefer to play acoustic,"she says. "I don't belongin rock bands. I can'tbring anything new to it.The [essence of the] songsis what's most importantto me."

The U.K, with its largecontingent of NZ expatri-ates, is Runga's passage-way to Europe. Epic U.Kproduct manager AilsaRobinson says Runga has"total support form everydepartment of the label. Wethink she has the potentialto become a huge main-stream artist [in the U.K.]."A regional radio campaign

and major college promotion are scheduled forSeptember. Current single Sway has beenplaylisted at AC -leaning MOR network BBCRadio 2, for whom Runga recorded a session forDJ Johnnie Walker's drivetime show.

Studio time to record the follow-up album isalready tentatively booked. "I'm going to recordit in the middle of next year," says Runga, "but --I don't know if I'll produce it myself. The stakesare higher now. I never expected the firstalbum to get an international release."

In July, Runga played a sell-out date atLondon's venue Dingwalls and there areplans to secure a support slot on a major tourthis autumn and start building her reputa-tion on the continent. "It's great playing to aload of homesick New Zealanders-but that'snot the point of the exercise," she adds. "Icame to Europe to reach a new audience."

D11141 --TVby Christian Lorenz

KEILERKOPFKEILERKOPFUniversalG/S/A release date: October 5It may be tempting to dismiss German trio Keil-erkopf as the first act to try and jump on theRammstein bandwaggon-afterall, they're similarly loud, con-frontational and teutonic-butin truth, they're a completelydifferent breed. WhereasRammstein's sound is built on'70s rock, Keilerkopf come out ofthe eclectic, DJ -driven '90s anddeliver their own cut'n'paste re-interpretation of hip hop. Bothbands use hard rock riffs, butonce you delve beneath thescreeching guitars at the top ofthe mix, the differences becomeobvious. The tracks on Keil-erkopfs debut are dense but fluent-organic yettight as a drum head. The beats are "phat" and theband's knack for structuring sounds and layeringrhythms makes for repeated listening. Keilerkopf ismuch more clever and sophisticated than its car-toon iconography might suggest at first glance.What spices up the mixture is the continuous dia-logue between Keilerkopfs sheer force and the cool

approach of Vienna -based production team Beat 4Feet, a.k.a. Martin Gellner and Werner Stranka.Additional remixes come courtesy of fellow Vien-nese producers Thomas Rabitsch-whose creden-tials include work for the late Falco-and DietzTienhof. The experiment pays off: Keilerkopf is fullof laid-back dope beats (the band even devoted thesong Die Tate to the herb), but the music's cuttingedge is by no means blunted. All the energy pennedup over the past eight months while the band pre-pared for the release of this well presented debutset under the guidance of Universal A&R manager

, Walter Grachen is ready toburst loose. At presstime,Keilerkopf were scheduled tomake their live debut in aparking garage at Pop-komm.98 in Cologne onAugust 15, with debut firstsingle Niemand, b/wGodzilla, is out on August 17.Radio promotion for Niemandstarted on July 20, but thetrack seems to have falleninto the black hole of sum-mer... However, write it off atyour peril; it'll be back with a

vengeance once the kids are back to school. If youlike to chill with Cypress Hill or get your kicks fromthe Beastie Boys, then this is the one rock album tobe playing this autumn.
