Des musiciens pourraient avoir tout perdu
Sheryl Crow, autrice-compositrice américaine
« Honte à ceux qui ont participé à la dissimulation. Un violent incendie a eu lieu chez UMG il y a 11 ans, et nous en entendons seulement parler maintenant ? »
Courtney Love, veuve de Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
« Personne ne sait encore avec certitude ce qui a disparu des archives [d’Universal Music] et de leur catalogue. »
Jacob Slichter, batteur de Semisonic, groupe américain de rock alternatif
« Nous avons demandé à Universal Music Group (UMG) les masters de notre album “Feeling Strangely Fine” pour préparer sa réédition, a-t-il confié au New York Times. UMG nous a répondu qu’ils ne pouvaient pas les retrouver. »
Bryan Adams, auteur-compositeur canadien
« J’ai contacté le service des archives d’Universal Music [en vue de rééditer mon album de 1984], a-t-il raconté au New York Times. Je recherchais le master, la pochette, les photos… Presque rien n’a pu être retrouvé par la maison de disques [filiale d’Universal Music]. Comme si cet album n’avait pas existé. »
Geoffrey Downes, claviériste d’Asia, groupe britannique de prog-rock
« Cela pourrait expliquer pourquoi personne ne peut trouver les masters originaux de l’album d’Asia, a-t-il réagi sur Twitter. Très triste. Et UMG a gardé le silence pendant plus de 10 ans. »
