" Blackwell, the Jamaican founder of Island Records, the man who helped bring Bob Marley, Traffic, U2 and other bandsto world attention; the visionary behind Island Outpost's funky-chic resorts; is doing his bit to landscape Goldeneye, the former Ian Fleming estate, that he's developed into a resort."

"Q: What are you working on now?

A: Palm World is producing a series of world music records, Pal Worl Voices, with Universal - and we will definitely have a Jamaica compilation. I'm getting together our second annual Goldeneye Film Festival and Retreat, to be helf at Goldeneye, Dec 7-13, and I just bought Pelican Island, a little island off Antigua that we're going to turn into a resort."
