DISCIPLINE GLOBAL MOBILE, LTD.

Discipline Global Mobile (DGM) is a small, mobile, independent music company that aspires to Intelligence.

The raison d'etre of DGM is to connect music, musician and audience in a way that supports the power of music, the integrity of the musician and the needs of the audience.

Our concern is to be who we are, and to do what is in front of us.

Simply being who we are is itself a qualitative action; and qualitative action is ungovernable by number.

Whether DGM succeeds in the world is out of our hands. If we provide what is necessary, useful or popular, we are a success.

DGM began operating in 1992 as a response to the dishonest and exploitative practices of the EG Group of Companies. The EG Group collapsed in 1991, undermined by the EG partners' ambitious interests in property and the Lloyds' insurance market. During 1988-91 EG diverted artist income from the EG Music Group by "loans" to another of the partners' companies, Athol & Co. This led, in turn, to the sale of phonographic and publishing copyrights controlled by EG. The sale was contested, with resulting litigation ongoing during 1991-97 between EG, Virgin Records, BMG Music and myself. At the end of the litigation, the EG partners were no longer partners and EG, as a respected player in the music industry, mostly a bad memory to those whose interests EG had claimed to represent.
