Hi Ivor, Thanks for pointing this out. Sure, I agree about the track size issue (although I didn't even notice the missing extra track) Sure looks hard to get 12 video tracks on a single CD. Psalm was a double CD after all. My info was from a stock statement from www.ab-cd.com I'm beginning to wonder about it's validity now. I'll get on the case. If these are the release details it seems like the tracks are basically a compilation of two previously available products, Psalm, and "The Best of Musikladen" a VHS tape available in many places outside the UK. Some of these tracks are also available on the Musikladen DVD, presumably with better picture quality.

And there has been rich imagery to work with lately within the Ferry oeuvre. Ferry's album covers have always been exceptional (with the exception of Boys and Girls, which looks to me like a mating scene between Vanilla Ice and Siouxsie Sioux), but the last few have been more image-intensive, haven't they? It seems like most all the early Roxy stuff had one beautiful cover, and maybe one inside pic. But starting with Taxi, which contains all of those shots of Bryan walking by the ocean, that could be film stills with their carefully chosen sets and variety of costumes, we started seeing more and more elaborate and narrative and maybe even "cinematic" imagery on the insides and outsides of the packages. Maybe Bryan is becoming more conscious of the "Roxy" roots of his musical career? Or maybe it is just more evidence that we are truly living in an era of The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, in which electronically reproduced images become richer and mediate much of our human experience. > > A question: The picture on the back of the CD booklet could be said > to contain a black heart, or something of that kind.

In any case, it could be a way of him doing some experimental stuff, seeing how it would fly with his committed fans and taking it from there. Question is how would people ante up and by how much.

It's good to see other countries represented here. I'm afraid that Bryan Ferry will not be visiting Spain on his current tour, and he is only an occasional visitor to Iberia in the past. I am surprised as I would have thought that Ferry's recent music would have a great appeal in Latin countries. We know that Ferry/Roxy is popular in Europe and Scandinavia, and also Australia, with a lower profile in America. Perhaps our members in Italy, Spain, Eastern Europe, South America, Asia and Japan could answer these questions: How famous is Bryan Ferry in your country? Is his music often played on the radio? Do you see him on TV? Is he a big star, or does he have an underground following? How easy is it to get his records? I'm sure Avalonians would be interested to know a little more of his worldwide appeal. Regards Chris PS To Karen Roth.

(long!) M.Marlena K.--Thanks for part 2 of the review! I had forgotten so much of that, especially about the colors in the backdrop. I remember now how beautiful everything was. Truly a heady night. I can't wait to see him again. Even if I have to go by way of VISA and pay heavily later, I'll make the next show, wherever it is. I dug up the _Atlanta Journal and Constitution_'s review (however skimpy) of the Atlanta show to share with you guys. What do you all think about the writer's "vampire angle"? 12/1/94 Looking and sounding at times like a love-starved vampire, the British singer Bryan Ferry played nearly two hours at the Roxy on Tuesday night, regaling the sell-out crowd with a highly polished set that encompassed both his lives. There were the edgy, slightly-creepy songs from his early incarnation with the band Roxy Music ("In Every Dream Home," "Do the Strand") and the songs of uncloyed yearning that have come to typify his mature self ("Avalon," 'Windswept). With his translucent skin, bruised-blue tunic, black leather pants, and dark hair hanging in strands around his face, he looked like a 90s Heathcliff--and considerably younger than his 49 years. See? Not much about the atmosphere. Maybe that's why I don't remember much. I should have written down the details myself, I guess. Continuing the "BF as vampire" theme, here's part of a review of _Taxi_ from (I think) _Entertainment Weekly_. I'm going by the typeface because it's a review I cut out and put in my scrapbook, and I can't remember where it's from: "Rock is Undead" Dracula has risen from the grave! And made an album of remakes! Sort of, anyway. No one captures the alluring sound of a dissipated blood-sucker croning romantically to his beloved like Bryan Ferrry does. [. . .] Few of the remakes have the decadent, jaunty verve of his cover albums of the 70s. But that's okay, since Ferry appears to be aiming for somethign else: beautifully eerie mood music for the lovesick vampire in us all. --DB BF has always seemed kind of "otherworldly" to me, living a vampire-like existence at times. He has the evening clothes, the beautiful ladies, the nightlife, the aura of timelessness about him, and the tired acceptance of a way of life that separates him from most other people. Obviously, he's not sucking anyone's blood or changing into a bat for an encore, but the parallels are intruiging.

(long!) Chrystal, its hard to believe anyone would refer to Bryan as a Vampire. Considering , the text in your review, maybe the person was older & just didn't get it. It was a man that did the article on the one I posted. Read again, its almost like someone wasn't fair in there material they covered. Here the critics are eaten alive in the editorial section, I've seen it happen asking were they sure they were at right concert?. Yes, Bryan has a mysterious elusion about him that sucks you into the aura hes surrounded in at the time. Thats what makes you want to know & get more of what hes giving. He holds you captive waiting for every breath& sigh he offers up. Maybe , thats what the person meant by Vampire. Bryans hair in his face, the clothes, even the posture is all about Sex-appeal. And he definantely has it.. I was just reading a article today about how some artists just get the respect from their certain followers because they demand the respect & people come to truly hear. Its what sets good from what some refer to as screamers where you can't hear whats even being played or sung. Bryan is just suave & always will be .Hes much of a romantic, that will always be somewhere in his works.

Contrary to earlier replies to your question, there MAY be a possibility of seeing Bryan on tour in Spain and / or Portugal. In the last newsletter (mid January 2000), Bryan's information service stated "We are still awaiting confirmation of dates in Southern Europe (Spain and Portugal). Japan, Australia and South Africa are also likely to be added to the tour at a later date." Of course, whether these dates transpire is another matter - but there's some hope for you!!

The Expression Records Updated New Release Programme for 2000 The 801 Live at Hull University - This CD of the 801 Listen Now gig at Hull University contains a guest appearance by Eddie Jobson (who turns in a mighty performance on 'Out of the Blue'). The performance contains the whole set. Rough, ready and raucous fun. Rare One - This mid-price CD will contain a variety of tracks culled from various sources. Its job is to fill in various holes in the Manzanera musical history with tracks that span the full historical range of his work. The tracks on the CD will be: 'RFD Part 2' (from the 'Mainstream' sessions, not currently available anywhere on CD 'Remote Control' (studio recording featuring Paul Thompson on drums) 'Years of the Quiet Sun' (track from the original Quiet Sun demo featuring the five piece line-up. Phil's first recorded guitar solo) 'Down' (a Simon Ainley song demo'd using the 'Listen Now' touring band) 'Corazon Y Alma' (Phil's epic Quiet Sun piece recorded for Warner Bros. Went on to become three tracks on 'Diamond Head': 'Frontera', 'Alma' and 'East of Echo') 'The Beat Goes On' (a track recorded in 1991 for Italian TV featuring one of the Saatchi brothers on vocals - no, seriously) 'Law and Order' (from the same studio session as 'Remote Control') 'Broken Hearted' (track recorded with vocalist Jim Diamond) 'That Falling Feeling' (from the same studio session as 'Remote Control') 'Tre Amore' (instrumental recorded for project organised by Italian band 'PFM') RFD (the original version of RFD recorded for Warner Bros in 1971) - -------------------- To disentangle yourself from these bickering numbnuts, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2000 14:06:23 -0500 From: ecwoods@mindspring.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Re : MMK's Review/Ferry as vampire? (long!) Yeah, I don't think he meant BF was a predator, more that he had that "otherworldly" cool that no mere mortal could acheive. I'm sure you're right when you say it's all about the *aura*. But wasn't it amazing how different the reviews were, considering it was basically the same show? A testament to perspective, for sure.

I'm happy to say I was one of the first to respond to his offer; he replied promptly, and my copy arrived today. He didn't even accept money for the hassle of distributing them; instead, he asked the recipients to make a donation to a charity of their choice. Thanks again, e-man!

BF is famous, but not too much. Young people (like me) doesn't know him. "Not young" people a bit more. > Is his music often played on the radio? It's very difficult to hear a BF song on the radio. > Do you see him on TV? Yes, on November he comes to Spain to sing in a TV program a couple of songs of his latest album. But it's not usual watch on TV singers or groups like BF an RM. > How easy is it to get his records?
