The Ear Candy Company of Skye is the Lyran Commonwealth's preeminent producer of live and recorded audio entertainment.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

The Ear Candy Company is one of the Lyran realm's largest and most pervasive entertainment industries outside of the mammoth Tharkan Media Associates and Donegal Broadcasting Company, focusing instead entirely on popular music and sensory recordings. Investing in its talent, the company produces the vast majority of its musichips, holodiscs and sensory cubes from its Skye-based recording studios in Ear Candy City. The company is divided into two branches; Star Drive and Ear Candy Tours.[1][2]

The company's production label, Star Drive offers a wide mix of prerecorded popular and classic music selections. Circa 3025 Star Drive was having considerable success with such rock and roll bands as The 'Mech Droppings, Crankshaft, The Tamar Traitors, the Solar Sailors and the hotest band in the Lyran realm at the time, Theras and Her Red Deltas. Star Drive also offers more high-brow recordings from the Wellington Symphony of Donegal, the Summer Operatics and the Tharkan Boy's Choir.[1][2]

Ear Candy Tours instead focuses entirely on live entertainment, booking and managing tours for Star Drive's musical artists in the concert halls throughout the Commonwealth. In mid-January 3022 Ear Candy Tours reportedly booked the Tharkan Boy's Choir to perform in the Kesterton Amphitheater on Skye, but instead Theras and Her Red Deltas took the stage to perform, launching into a performance that included whips, chains and anatomical displays. When later interviewed by the Skye News Network, some of the audience members admitted they actually enjoyed it, but most of the more high-brow leaning audience demanded Ear Candy Tours return their money.[1]

By the Word of Blake Jihad, Ear Candy had made inroads in both the Federated Suns and Free Worlds League, engaging in fierce competition with the Magistracy of Canopus-based Mindstar Enterprises.[3]

The company was one of the media giants of the sector in 3072.[4]
