I think one Gary Glitter is enough! The Man has developed in a way you guys don't like that much as the first period. But he has developed and that's the Main Thing. Saying that Ferry Re make/Re model Avalon the last 15 years is ridiculus. Play Avalon and after that Mamouna you can hear the difference. The same difference between let's say Roxy Music and Country Life. Saying Mamouna is NOTHING is stupid I think it's far better than Manifesto for example, the texture of the music, the lyrics the singing etc. The only real problem is that the way he works result in a very low output. He need someone who force him to work faster and make a quicker decision if a song he is working on is o.k. Maybe reuniting is a solution but I don't know if it is the right one. Working with Eno is better I think because he's a very intelligent man who is not focused on the past, always trying different things and he has prooved that he can pull out the best out of people.
