When the E-R CD is released in two months, the mystery will be solved. But, it is fun to speculate. The question is:
Who is on the CD? Will it be Emmanuel Borghi on keyboards and Antoine/Himiko Paganotti on vocals? Or did Vander re-record all of the keyboard and vocals tracks with the new members?
And, if Vander re-recorded the tracks, was it because E-R has changed since the original recording, or because he does not want to pay royalties to ex-members?
What is your opinion? You can respond in any language. Even French!

They released Live in Tokyo long time after Borghi & Co had left so I don't think there is any royalty problem, and I don't think they have time/money to re-record music just because some people left. So the CD will have many musicians :) Just my opinion, of course.

ReplyDeleteHey Marc,
Most likely, any of the members performing for the recording would be paid a one time fee for their performance whether or not it appeared on the eventual release. They would receive no further royalties unless contracted to.
Is Magma a democratic organization or Vander's starship?
My guess is that everyone receives a salary based on live performance rather than the earnings of the recordings.
Ask Stella, she runs the biz.

I hope that parts from former and new members are there together. At least it would be intresting to hear how it would sound.
ReplyDeleteI believe that there's far greater things that determine the whole process of E-Re than worrying about somebodys royalties.
Here's hoping that the original studio recording of E-Rê from circa 1976 will also be included (a fragment of which appears as a bonus in the "Udu Wudu" CD). Does anyone know if that complete (45') studio recording, mentioned once by Klaus Blasquiz in an interview, really does exist ?
