Product Description
Full title - New Electronic Folk Music - The Peopletree Sessions UK Edition. 2002 reissue is a recording from the computer-based home recording folk collective The Peopletree & features the musical & vocal talents of model & actress Milla Jovovich. This edition features additional tracks not on the out-of-print U.S. issue. This recording was created in a series of late night meetings filled with conversation & song & plugged directly into the back of a computer in an apartment in the Hollywood Hills. That the raw recordings were then remixed & reinterpreted at other desktop studios in other parts of the world gives it a sense of time - you can feel, in listening the enthusiasm of a new era. Previously sold (for the last three years) through the internet, it's acquired somewhat legendary status - as much for its rarity (it has commanded $150 in online auctions) as for the intimacy, danger, beauty &
The CD's genesis was almost ten years ago, when Perry Ferrell, with whom David was working closely at the time, mentioned that David and Milla Jovovich might do a track for an album he was putting together. David and Milla went to dinner at Perry's house to discuss this, but Perry ultimately had second thoughts about the track.
David and Milla then decided to continue working on tracks together, and did so on and off for about two months. She was as excited as he about what was to become the Peopletree Sessions, even offering to pay for them to be produced as an art album for the "underground" market (online and in independent record shops). David subsequently put much time and money into creating a CD that would show this other side of Milla. She personally approved the final master CD and its packaging. Shortly after its release (August 1998), Milla's associate Chris Brenner was quoted online as saying "We had a lot of fun creating ideas with its producer David Turin ... and we are both pleased with the result."
About a year later, the tone started changing, with Milla and Chris eventually completely disowning the CD. We conjecture that people in the movie and fashion industries that surround Milla felt it was bad for her image. Chris's latest rewriting of history - there were many - is given in a quotation attributed to him in another review here. (One can discern the volatility of Chris's nature by reading his obscene and out-of-control comment on the positive review given by Justin Me on 11/19/04, below; that volatility has been a hallmark of this dispute.) David has been absolutely astonished by the ever-increasing misrepresentations and calumnies. Given Milla's latter-day opposition, however, he limited production to the first 2000 CDs pressed, and attempted (unsuccessfully) to get Cherry Red to discontinue an ongoing plan for a separate release to the UK "underground" market.
Because of the constraints on production and distribution, David made no money from the CD. He nonetheless dutifully paid Milla royalties twice: a check on 2/1/00 that she cashed, and a check on 2/21/01 paid to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund at her request. (One may bemusedly ask: if Milla, as now claimed, didn't authorize the CD, why would she accept royalties on it?)
What goads me into writing this so many years after the original controversy? It's because I see my son continuing to be defamed - as recently as 11/28/06 on this Amazon page - by those who unthinkingly and uncritically parrot Milla and Chris's revisionist mudslinging. Let me again set the record straight for the Amazon community: David entered into a project with Milla in good faith and fulfilled his original agreement with her. Milla is entitled to a change of heart, but not to a change of history.
I have given this CD an admittedly biased five-star rating, but at least I agree with the Guardian newspaper in London, which on 2/11/00 called it "so barking it's great."
In order to post this message, I had to rate this album. As I have not heard it, I rated it 3 because I don't want my rating to affect the score too much.
Do as you will, im not trying to persuade anyone here, but if you are an artist (musician, painter, etc.) would you want to be in the situation where the art you created was being stolen from you, remade, and sold?
Because Im an artist I am making this decision.
peace and love
EDIT:Above was my original comment on this album. After reading George Turin's comment though, my mind has been changed. I am now not sure what to believe when it comes to this album, so I am withdrawing my earlier comments and staying neutral.
