I've noticed that no matter what the song is, I pretty much like any RM or BF work that Rhett Davies produced. For those of you who really know your stuff; what else is Rhett involved in producing wise???

Nothing too similar, but try Eno circa 75/77 - Rhett co-engineered and coproduced. Later, the excellent Cale/Eno LP Wrong Way Up - v different from the Ferry/Roxy work but fantastic. I think he's also done some B-52s stuff. I've been searching in vain to find more info about him and his other work. Eno background in the late 70s implies that he's a keyboards guru. Anyone have any other clues? All his Roxy/Ferry work has such a strong, continuous thread sound-wise. - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 07:00:22 -0800 From: dawndalion Subject: Re: [AVALON] Avalon Post members - Getting to know you. Hi Helene, I joined the list about a year ago (?), and I have 'shared with the Group' how I became acquainted and subsequently hooked-for-life on Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry.... I shall share it again, b/c it is so special to me...sorry to bore you ole' timers.... Here goes: I was 17....almost 18 years old, during my freshman year at USC in Los Angeles. The year was 1984...the place: a Large Studio in Hollyweird on Sunset Blvd where they, at the time, filmed like 2/3'rds of the Rock videos in LA.... Okay, so we (my dorm-roomie and I) had some friends that we were hangin' out with there...watching videos being made by the likes of Tina Turner, Howard Jones, Al Jareau, Oingo Boingo (they ROCK!), The Jacksons, Tom Petty and the HB's...can you envision the Scene? It was..for a Naive 17 year old new to the Big Bad City. I gotta admit, it was a 'crazy scene,' replete with drugs....and we were pretty high all the time, after all it WAS the 80's, and it WAS a very Big Music Scene.... A wonderful guy who worked at this Large Studio, an older man(EVERYONE was older than me at the time!), around 31 at the time, had brought in his CD collection. Now, CDs were all the New Rage at the time, so this was really Cool for me, and quite new. Well, we were pretty good friends at the time (I had it bad for another guy there), and he asked me, Have you ever heard (of) Roxy Music? I had not. He produced the now-Legendary Avalon CD and played it for me. I was floored. I never heard music like that. You gotta know that I had in my music collection the likes of Madonna and Prince and Van Halen, okay? I was strictly top 40 Pop-Clueless-kid, up until that time. Yikes!!! I was, from that moment on, forever into Roxy Music and that sexy voice and amazing style of Bryan Ferry. And soon after, I had taken a very serious relationship with This Man Who Introduced me to Roxy Music. It was the Soundtrack to our times together...and Even now, RM still gets Heavy Rotation on the stereo. So, that is my humble little story.....I was very fortunate to see Bryan Ferry in 1988 in Bezerkeley....the Bete Noire Tour... Awesome!! Thanks for lettin' me share... AGAIN!
