Peter Gabriel Invests In Business
Venture That Circumvents Major Record Company Politics; 14th Solo Album Due Next
Year
According to
Rolling Stone Magazine, Peter Gabriel has made yet another
investment. This time, in a boutique investment firm in London who has found an
unlikely new business idea: releasing comeback albums for artists that major
labels may not longer be lusting after. Yesterday’s
Wall Street Journal profiles venture
capitalists Ingenious Media PLC, which has so far invested between $400,000 and
$2 million per album to finance fifteen records by acts like UB40, the Prodigy
and Peter Gabriel (who invested his own money in the fund).
Ingenious will invest in
Peter Gabriel's next album, and in January, Ingenious paid $2 million for a
24.95% stake in Mr. Gabriel's 14th album, scheduled to be released next year.
The deal gives Gabriel control over promotion and distribution of the
still-untitled album in North America. Elsewhere, Mr. Gabriel is still signed to
the Virgin Records label.

of the tour. More information on the album should follow soon.

Peter Gabriel Provides Added Support
To The Filter; We7 Pays Royalties after Only Three Months of Operation
According to
The Independent, Peter Gabriel has led a $5m (£2.5m) investment in the
music recommendation technology company,
The Filter, to help
develop its expansion into new areas such as digital video and film content.
According to the article, The Filter, which can identify around 5 million songs
and make recommendations to the listener based upon their musical choices, was
developed by the Bath-based Exabre. It has attracted 150,000 users and is adding
a further 25,000 a month. The investment in Exabre was led by Gabriel alongside
technology investors Eden Ventures, and follows an initial $1.8m round of
investment by the two parties and The Filter's two founding members Rhett Ryder
and Martin Hopkins.
Peter Gabriel, who is no stranger to technology investments, developed one of
the first consumer music technology products (the
Xplora and
Eve CD-Roms) and went on to found
On Demand
Distribution, or OD2, one of the first music download services, which is
used by Microsoft's MSN portal. Peter Gabriel also invested in
We7, an advertising
based music download business, which according to
New Media Age, distributed its first royalty payments after only three
months of operation.
