It’s extremely rare to hear both Daniel Miller of Mute Records and Andy Fletcher discuss together the state of the music industry.
In a long and fascinating interview which took place at the Audi-O-Rama music industry festival in Switzerland last year, Miller and Fletch rattled off their opinions about a wide range of issues.
They cover music distribution, marketing, studio work, fans, multi-formats, instruments, labels, their respective DJ careers, as well as plenty of anecdotes about Depeche (“dancing girls and cocaine” get a mention).
The interview also includes a “world exclusive”: Fletch has never eaten a bag of crisps in any of his now almost 55 years 🙂
Here is the full interview (a hefty 1 hour and 18 minutes but worth it):
NB: Pictures from the discussion and elsewhere during the event are available on the Depeche Mode Classic Photos and Videos page on Facebook.
I love this interview! Hearing the history and living through it and getting the perspective of these guys was amazing. They were right and we love them for what they have given us.
@mick – yes, agree… Really candid and informative discussion!
