What was the reason you left METROPOLIS
RECORDS?
We had a really really nice deal with Metropolis Records and we had very nice
advances and we had three album deal. After the first record they said they had
the problem with distribution. They had to build new distribution system and
they didn't have money to pay us for the next album option. We said that that
was fine and we started recordings for the album anyways since it was not the
huge problem. But we caught the deal in the meantime. We played a couple of tracks
to a couple of labels. We talked to a lot of people. There was obviously at that
time that KMFDM wouldn't end up at the major label again because the experience
with the UNIVERSAL was less than fun. So we decided to look around for the big
independent label. Sanctuary came to us and we looked at that and they have just
signed KING CRIMSON and MINISTRY. We thought that at least they had a sort of
taste having those bands there.Not like a storage unit for the crapy old bands.
( laugh! ). The thing with Sanctuary is, very little money, like not much on
the department of advances, but a very good distribution that the label has world
wide. And for us it is much more important than to make money. We want to continue
KMFDM.
So can you live of KMFDM or music in general?
I guess you do alot of production and studio work for the others.
Yeah, we do stuff aside. Right now I work on the music for SPIDERMAN 2 video
game. I always have to do something. No worries.
At the end. Who is going to win Bundes Liga (the german football
league) this season?
To be frank, I am completely out of touch with Bundes Liga. I am
big St. Pauli fan but I am sure they are not going to make
it. (laugh)
The only I can say is HUGE thank you. We send greets to the others
and wish you all the best on the tour.
You are welcome. It was my pleasure. Thanx!
