Actually, you were *sort* of right the first time, Andrew. Island Life is
an umbrella sort of company that Chris Blackwell, ex-owner of Island
Records, started up a couple of years back. It encompasses both a travel
company called Island Outpost, and a film and music company called Palm
Pictures. The music label side of things is in turn manufactured and
distributed by Rykodisc.
