CME’s business manager Adrian Cooke said: "The launch of our own label is a natural development for us. It will provide a potential platform and outlet of material for the many creative people that we work with. It will also serve as a focus for the increasing amount of vocational training that we are delivering. We hope in the future to be able to offer apprenticeships based around working for companies within the creative industries such as record labels and publishing companies."

The first release on the Comuse label is by Norwich based electronica act Globo. The 3-piece have re-interpreted an album by the band widely regarded as John Peel’s favourites, The Fall, called ‘This Nation’s Saving Grace’. Each track has been covered with a contemporary twist and features a host of Norwich based bands and solo artists such as The Neutrinos, Mia Vigar, The Sadtowns, Fiel Garvie and Bearsuit.

The album is released globally on 24 November on CD and as a digital download from all major retailers. It has already started picking up national radio play on the Stuart Maconie and Gideon Coe shows on BBC 6 Music.

Concentrating mainly on Norfolk based artists, the next scheduled release on Comuse is an album by Norwich Jazz collective Monk Inc.
