> Global Market Fundamentalism - Richard Pithouse reports
> The Hidden Years Story Book should be out later this year - it will hopefully be printed on recycled newspaper that we used to wrap our Fish 'n Chips in; so besides rapping up the present, it could also be used to soak up any mess outside of the intellectual arts media arena. But in the meantime we indulge in & re-discover some wonderful archived music, will composing & performing a whole bunch of new tunes - without the sedatives, preservatives & audio pollution by-products of our technologically bereft past or digitally hung over future. More chapters / excerpts from the HY Story book will appear in the next website issue.

Whether 3rd Ear Music owns the music it recorded or not - it will only be made available with permission, in writing, from the rights holders. Copyright clearance from the original owners, composers, publishers & producers is essential. 3eM aims to issue limited edition CD-R's, CDs & hopefully a CD-ROM. A Radio & TV documentary is being negotiated. We hope to make as much information available as we are allowed - for students, archive and commercial use. However, the choice of music, material & stories from the archives, is up to the individual musicians. Anybody willing to sponsor a particular artist or event? email 3eM.
