As it went on, as the moment streached out, it seemed a scene out CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, everybody staring up at the colored lights waiting for something to happen. And then he appeared, & the moment burst. Bryan Ferry stepped out just as the song emerged from the groove. Bathed in golden light, his body bending to the beat, Mr. Ferry crooned the chorus that served as a summation of his career. " I put a spell on you " he sang, sweeping a hand across the swooning mass of shadows before him. " I put a spell on you," he sang, pulling a handful of multicolored glitter from his pocket & flinging it into the light. Such a consummately cool & casual gesture is merely Mr. Ferry's stock in trade. The former Roxy Music frontman & longtime solo artist has his sense of style refined to the point where it is as natural & hitchless as breathing. Backed by a seven -piece band & a pair of singers. Mr. Ferry played before an audience whose enthusiasm often verged on delirium---from the first song on, he received ecstatic ovations. And with good reason: He & his band put on a brilliant show. With such superlative players as drummer Steve Ferrone ( Average White Band) & guitarist David Williams ( Michael Jackson,Madonna), the band was at once a seamless whole made up of individual players doing intensely cool things. Mr. Ferry's music is all about the groove, creating an irrestible flow of melody & rhythm & then losing yourself in it. I was at this Concert Dec. 2 , 1994 in Dallas, Texas USA. This was the review the next day,-------There is more----- but this is long but I can finish it if you are so interested. He felt good that night, he'd been in town a few days relaxing seeing the sights & he was showcased in our local paper magazine, on other days , I think I still have that one too.

Following this test, I shall attempt a short exegesis: I just read an article, on Rock legend Bo Diddley( 71yrs) young & still touring. Quote"Blues & Rock'N'Roll will never diminish.IT will never go away. It might slow up for a little while,like with all this techno music they got going right now." "I'm not going to lie to you. I'm doing some things that are electronic because thats what the ( DJ's) are playing. They want play something by me. "They're looking for something that's (artificial). You can't beat 'em, so you have to join 'em." Hence, if DJ's don't think people will listen they want play it. .....Again back to the money , of what will keep a station on top. If ratings of a station goes. there goes the station. So artists are having to do what they don't want to do to just have a hit. Sad, but its the listening audience thats at fault too. Hence we surf to find what we like. But there is fewer of us than the norm. So Bryan slowely moves along to the beat of his own drum. Once in awhile a DJ & the audience like what they hear & he gets air play. People know more about the tunes, they hear at the movies done by him , than on the radio. I've read where Bryans next endeavor with Dave Stewart, will definitely be Rock & Roll. He was quoted in news, with hisATGB tour," as thats the next game plan." Just hope he lives up to it. Dave Stewart said, quote "He is such a perfectionist, that hes so critical on himself & wants to do it over & over." I't sounds to me its Bryan who can't seem to get the product out. For all of us I just hope he want drag his butt this time around........M.Marlana K........... MY interpretation of this posting is that, while market forces are speeding up and becoming more ruthless, musicians have to work harder to keep up with them: You can't beat 'em, so you have to join 'em." Therefore, any musician who wants to be noticed by the public must satisfy an audience who is growing increasingly more demanding for fast turnaround on pop hits: Again back to the money , of what will keep a station on top. If ratings of a station goes. there goes the station. So artists are having to do what they don't want to do to just have a hit. Sad, but its the listening audience thats at fault too. Hence we surf to find what we like. But there is fewer of us than the norm. But Bryan doesn't do this: So Bryan slowely moves along to the beat of his own drum. And then Dave Stewart made a comment about Bryan's slow working habits, which are incompatible with today's rush rush world: I've read where Bryans next endeavor with Dave Stewart, will definitely be Rock & Roll. He was quoted in news, with hisATGB tour," as thats the next game plan." Just hope he lives up to it. Dave Stewart said, quote "He is such a perfectionist, that hes so critical on himself & wants to do it over & over." And then, instead of questioning whether Bryan should even be concerned with measuring up to these market forces, Marlena leaves us with this quote of her own (which I cannot interpret any other way than as a suggestion that Bryan "get moving". Although she may feel that it is unfortunate that he is required to do this, she seems to agree that it is an imperative that he must live up to, if he wants to be "known" or appreciated by the fans." And this is where I disagree): I't sounds to me its Bryan who can't seem to get the product out. For all of us I just hope he want drag his butt this time around........M.Marlana K...........

Subject: RE: [AVALON] Ferry Unique - much shorter post alert I don't know much of his stuff but Rolling Stone liked John's work (Tour de France)so much they said "if you absolutely had to buy an instrumental album about a French bicycle race written by a guy on entertainment television this would be the one to buy". Ooooh....a shot across the bow. BTW, people follow him around...they call'em "Tesh-heads". Rich generally, you wouldn't want to know. however - musically, he can be summed up as a rather tall & sterile drink of water. former entertainment gossip show co-host who makes i-don't-know-what-kind of music, which is very palatable for those with absolutely NO taste in music or culture whatsoever. i think that covers everything. maybe what i would call 'tinker-toy' music ... kind of connect-the-dots experience. paint by numbers, whatever. peaces/ms - -------------------- To disentangle yourself from these bickering numbnuts, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2000 16:22:17 EST From: Shinoballo57@gateway.net Subject: [AVALON] vinyl All this talk of vinyl made me wonder what to do with my collection of vinyl LP's.
