I love the song's intro. It's so out there, then it turns into a beautiful song. Then the strings come in. I can clearly hear a violin, but also, their are these guide tones being played on what could be a keyboard or strings, I don't know. It sounds like strings but with such a distant sound than the other violin track. Maybe an effect. Maybe a question for EJ unless you can tell me Arnie. As far as siding between you and Heather, I'll stay clear of that one. Peace, Jim Yes Jim those are strings-but keyboard strings and some double tracking of Eddie's violin to give the feel of an orchestra.

Comments, everyone? I've made the same kind of tape so many times, usually for someone or other that has grown up and only ever heared Roxy do Love is the Drug or Avalon. The tracks vary depending on my mood, but Manifesto, Virginia Plain and Editions of You always get included. I'm surprised that none of those tracks made your tape Arnie. Mick Humphrey.

I made the tape to use during running. I needed to a tape for 50 minute run. I put together post Avalon BF work and took careful consideration for the order of the songs to go with running. I started off with a slow song but with good beat. I also tried to add crescendos throughout the tape. Fast and upbeat ones followed by a slower tune. i put a spell on you (single mix) 3:53 dance with life (the brilliant light) (edit) 4:19 the right stuff (single mix) 4:22 just one look 3:32 mamouna (single edit) 3:43 don't want to know 4:06 are you lonesome tonight? 5:07 slave to love (12" mix) 5:47 don't stop the dance 4:17 will you still love me tomorrow? (single mix) 4:08 limbo (latin mix) 4:08 kiss and tell (dance mix) 4:42 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 01:21:31 -0400 From: jspellma@techadvisers.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Best of Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry If I had to pick one from each album: Roxy Music Lady Tron Editions of You Mother of Pearl Out of the Blue Both Ends Burning Pyjamarama (Viva) Trash Running Wild More Than This My Only Love (Heart Still Beating) Bryan Ferry You Won't See Me Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Casanova All Night Operator Can't Let Go Windswept The Right Stuff Rescue Me Your Painted Smile ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Jun 98 02:26:27 PDT From: tfagan Subject: Re: [AVALON] A Really Good Time the latin and the french are dr simon puxley's translations of the english verse that begins with "all these moments, lost in wonder..." if bry would have stuck with the latin -- he could have been enya. - --Theresa ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 02:45:37 -0000 From: "Decophile" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Best of Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry - -----Original Message----- From: Frank and Liz Smith To: avalon@smoe.org Date: Monday, June 15, 1998 4:29 AM Subject: Re: [AVALON] Best of Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry >You must not forget the "ode to Jerry Hall" - Prairie Rose!!!
