Great post, Kate..and very true.
It's also worth noting - and bearing in mind - that the Music Industry
has become more closely linked with Major Multimedia Corporations (Time,
Sega, Universal) in recent years and as such the emphasis throughout the
Biz is even more geared to lowest-common-dominators and the financial
viablity of the operations than it ever was.
Job security amongst record execs is not what it used to be. They have
to deliver the right kind of success, and in the timespan dictated by
the money-men. As a result, they can't be expected to have quite the
same approach to the whole process anymore.
