Press Quote :

VOX: Where did the album title, Black Market Music, come from?

Brian Molko: In an industry, kind of an artistic scene where so much negativity is being promoted by massive corporations and so much disposability being promoted by multinational corporations, so much emptiness and not very much positivity is being pushed and marketed kinda heavily. It is almost as if music that is honest, passionate, truthful that says something about the human condition is marginalized. In a culture…a culture where music is homogenized, that often happens. Perhaps it’s something you have to buy under the counter and perhaps forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge.

Brian Molko, voxonline.com, 2000
