	Record Labels and Companies: Interview with DreamWorks Records A&R Head Luke Wood
		For instance, the way Michael Goldstone (DreamWorks AandR and principal) markets his records is that he is constantly patient, but he is constantly persevering and pushing, and looking for opportunities.
		I would change the way commercial radio is programmed so that more records could get played, and so there was a way for more people to be exposed to new and developing artists.
		I certainly actually think that although it takes longer for "passive" records to research, there are a lot of beautiful records out there that could have a tremendous life.

	Universal Music to buy DreamWorks Records - Nov. 01, 2003
		NEW YORK -- Universal Music, the recorded music division of the French group Vivendi Universal, is set to buy the music division of DreamWorks studios for around 100 million dollars, the Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition late Thursday.
		DreamWorks studios, founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, never really found a recording artist capable of driving its sales to the peaks envisioned at the outset, despite a management team headed by music business legend Mo Ostin, said the Journal.
		Dreamworks' music division represented but a small part of the California group's global action, and its compact disc sales have been decimated, along with those of the recording industry at large, by the effects of music piracy via the Internet.

		That’s because, unlike her debut record, it contained songs that Twain herself wrote and delivered in her own distinctive way.

	NELLY FURTADO - 'Folklore' - November 24th Dreamworks Records
		A record firmly rooted in folk tradition, as the title might suggest, 'Folklore' is a record that plays on traditional themes while remaining modern and fresh in sound.
		With 'Powerless' a search for order in a complicated world, the frantic 'Explode' which draws upon the language of Brazilian marshal arts brought to the country by African slaves and 'Forca', which is a Portuguese slang word, some of those references are clear.
		After a year spent in LA, Nelly returned to her adopted hometown of Toronto to record the follow up (she is originally from the city of Victoria, British Columbia).
