colinmce Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Out of curiosity, does anyone here have any particular details about the short series of discs released by FMP in the 90s that carried an OWN-9000x catalog number? Were these produced or organized by a particular musician, or around any particular theme? I have several but none contain notes to that effect; best I can think is that they contain some of the more experimental (ha!) music on the label, with often liberal use of electronics, overdubbing, etc. Anyways, some very interesting and worthwhile music on these albums. Uschi Brüning & Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky Features Of Usel (CD, Album) OWN-90001 1992 Aki Takase & Alex von Schlippenbach* Piano Duets • Live In Berlin 93/94 (Album) 2 versions OWN-90002 1995 Erhard Hirt Gute Und Schlechte Zeiten (CD, Album) OWN-90003 1994 Wolfgang Fuchs Solo and Duets with Evan Parker & Jean-Marc Montera Bits And Pieces (CD, Album) OWN-90004 1996 Bernhard Arndt Inside Insight (Album) 2 versions OWN-90005 1996 Minton* / Butcher* / Hirt* Two Concerts (Album) 2 versions OWN-90006 1998 Rüdiger Carl / COWWS-Quintett* Virtual COWWS (Album) 2 versions OWN-90009 1998 Friedemann Graef / Achim Goettert Saxoridoo (Album) 2 versions OWN 90010 1998 Schröder* • Walsdorff* • Jenneßen* Freedom Of Speech (Album) 2 versions OWN-90011 1999 Gregor Hotz - Solo / Gregor Hotz + Nicholas Bussmann 8 Pieces For Single Listeners / You Never Give Me Your Pillow (Album) 2 versions OWN-90012 1999 Augst* · Carl* · Korn* Blank (CD, Album) OWN-90013 2000 Rüdiger Carl Book / Virtual Cowws (3xCD + Box) OWN-90007/9 1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 this was under Helma Schleif's administration of FMP. The divisions of FMP were partly due to artists' pay-in, and smaller sub-labels like OWN or Uhl Klang were basically imprints where artists could use FMP's distribution and manufacturing for material that would otherwise have been self-released. I think the artists bought in with these smaller imprints, whereas to have something on FMP did not require such a buy-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit like what I was thinking. 3 minutes ago, mjazzg said: I like the look of the Fuchs, may have to track one of them down It's very good. I would also highly, highly recommend August/Carl/Korn - Blank. It's incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 yeah, SAJ I think was a split between Gebers and the artists as far as costs, can't remember all the details. The sub-labels do differ in content and also accounting lines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I can get a Fuchs at a reasonable enough cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
