I can see some journo writing off Ferry and the others as being too art-school and high brow for the times.

Without taking the New Town video into consideration, I know of live versions of these songs: LIMBO KISS AND TELL BETE NOIRE NEW TOWN THE RIGHT STUFF For the record, I didn't even know New Town had been released until 1992 when I found it in a bargain bin (#3.99). I taped the cutdown version off tv (BBC 2 I think) and never really watched it. When I watched the full length thing I actually fell asleep, and haven't really tried it since. It's not my favourite Ferry tour, I especially don't like that nasty thing the keyboard player was doing to try and recreate a sax. And I thought the lead guitarist was awful too - yes, he played all the right notes, but there was no feeling. And that's my overall impression of that tour - too many unnecessary musicians and no feeling. (wasn't that the 80s as a whole?) I guess you had to be there.

I like it a lot, gathering from the credits it's a Ferry track, but with, let's say, an unusual vocal performance. It's probably one of the darkest things Ferry has done, very eerie stuff. So, does somebody know who played on that cut, when it was recorded etc.? It's a pity Bryan hasn't really explored (or released, for that matter) some more drone-like and experimental territory, as he seems to be very talented regarding this kind of sound-painting (witness "Because You're Mine"). This comes from somebody who likes "Sultanesque", you know... Christian - ---------- >Von: "Simon Galloway" >An: avalon@smoe.org >Betreff: Re: [AVALON] New Town >Datum: Fre, 23.

OK, so the reason for my question which people may not have seen the first time I sent it into the ether is that when Bryan Ferry plays himself in a 1979 French TV drama that appears on A Perfumed Sigh, he buys a newspaper issued on the day he was born - September 26th 1944. Any idea why he would play himself a year older than he really is? Even back in '79?

But I really like Ron's review the best because of its perspective. It is so seldom that a performer writes such commentary, and I think it's a great means of communicating and solidifying with the audience: A personal touch, it says, I'm aware of you, thank you for letting me share this experience with you, I really do appreciate you. Too few musicians interact with their fans on that level, such an easy thing to do but often neglected. I'd really like to see Remake/Remodel - Ron has made the band come alive for me. Thanks!

Why not 15? This was a tough one. In the end I did not choose any songs from Manifesto,F&B or Avalon. I don't hate those albums, I was just being honest. 'The Strand' I excluded, yes- it is superb, a work of art,but sometimes you just need a change from this 'encore classic'! Here are a few that I could not exclude. If there is something, Would you believe?,Grey lagoons, Beauty Queen,Serenade, Street Life,Editions of you,Both ends burning. Have fun choosing! All the best, Pauline. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 11:58:48 EST From: Jimlan801@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] solo plans i agree it is strange. but i think his solo marketing approach has always been a bit like that. maybe he doesn't realise just how hungry we are for his new work. i am sure that he carries in his mind the commercial failures of mamouna and even the bride stripped bare, two masterpieces that took years to be recognised as such, and is accordingly sensitive to how things are handled. be certain that all this is a good sign as far as the quality of the album is concerned, though. all the painstaking angst over completing and mixing mamouna paid off, after all. the sound canvas of that is like nothing else. incredible subtlety and detail. it is like listening to a landscape. it is not easy to achieve that in the studio. jim ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 12:27:55 EST From: KRNCHSE@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Survey In a message dated 2/23/01 6:07:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, terry.lane@rs-components.com writes: << BTW,anyone else getting excited ?

"Amazona", Phil's first composition for the group, brings a welcome transfusion of funk to Roxy, slammed home immaculately all the way by The Great Paul Thompson."

Nick Kent may have used the term in his long Country Life tour article - I'm not able to check at the moment. The first time I saw Paul drum was with PM on the Listen Now tour at Nottingham Uni. Very impressive - when he hits a drum, it stays hit! I also managed to get backstage and, as I got his autograph I asked "any chance of Roxy reforming?" His reply in pure, lilting Geordie tones - "wait 'n' see!" Newmark is a superb drummer, but I'd prefer to see old thundersticks! And Johnny G!

Err, yeah, what he said! That would do it for me, since the Pyjamarama performance on TOTP in 1973 was what triggered my own obsession. Perhaps a lighter, more poppy and less fascist treatment of the song than on Viva?
