Like some modern André Breton, asian music business hot-shot Hans Ebert(Journalist, Observer of life & music and former Executive Director and Creative Director of Universal Music Asia and EMI Music Asia) blogs about the conditions for contemporary music and the visions for the future.

And who is his main case? Dear old Thee Attacks!

"I was watching the video below by Thee Attacks from Denmark and thinking, yes, there has been a giant paradigm shift and how countries outside of A...merica and the UK are taking some real chances and producing music that is wickedly different and which, simply put, has not been created with any type of “charts” in mind. It’s sheer unbridled enthusiasm."

Ebert roars against the charts regime and the music companies carefulness regarding international releases. "Does the music fan of 2010 give a toss about charts or sales or “back stories?” They just want to hear the music and decide for themselves."

The solution? Cross-cultural musical collaborations and more daring. The utopia where this is already happening? Japan!

Luckily the japanese record label Fabtone Records just released Thee Attacks debutalbum "That's Mister Attack To You" over there! The promised land of sake and now pure retro rock'n'roll.
