Interview with Neil Leyton on the Stubnitz (1)

In a mysterious atmosphere, we went to the old DDR boat the Stubnitz to visit Neil Leyton. He would perform that night on a ship.
After a trip through the rain we found Neil, sitting in a small room, with little light.
He tells us the story about his new record, which he recorded with the Swedish band The Ghosts. His connection with them and how the recording of the record completely failed at a certain point. Which made him stick to analog recording..
"After about 3 months work on the album, we lost everything.. The computer crashed, a terrible tragedy!"

In this third part Leyton talks about he handles small crowds and that his first interest is to get a kick out of the music and the band.
Neil also explains his stance on downloading music and how the music industry works according to him.
"It's a matter of civil liberties and freedom of speech.. The free exchange of culture is under attack from commercial interests of the major labels."

Neil thinks the Radiohead move is brilliant and expects this is the logical step. He further elaborates about the free trade of music and the new role he thinks recordlabels will have to fulfill. He thinks the music industry should share the royalty money more fair, especially to the independant labels.
Finally we talk about what's coming next musically.
