Serenade is a glorious emotionally-charged post-motown romantic rush, the lyrics moving, deeply camp sincerity. Quintessential Roxy Music.

It's typical of Ferry, you think,' What the hell is going on now? The choir is superb, it's just a great gospel song and Ferry's voice is brilliant. Check out the bit where he sings,' a mountain so high' on the video. Wow! Great tambourine catch too. Perhaps he did believe back then, but I've always thought 'More than this' had underlying meanings possibly relating to a loss of faith, or possibly not! I cannot fault Serenade it's another favourite track-great lyrics! On a final note,was it Marlana who asked about Bryan's lack of interest in the movie scene? There is a great interview from Madame Figaro 1993 where Ferry talks about being up for the 'baddie role' in the movie Cliffhanger. It's in the article library on Roxytalk. Lovely pics too.

It also shows that Bryan's > tambourine shaking had not reached professional heights. But don't these video's perfectly capture Ferry's tongue in cheek attitude throughout his career, particularly those early years. That knowing grin, the over the top posing. All in sharp contrast to his public perception. Surely no casual music fan would be able to believe the Cilla duet, the Twiggy duet complete with schoolboy uniform, taking the micky out of Kenny Everett, the French Soap, the Alan Partridge interview. This is a true original, a man who was very conscious of what he was doing and enjoying every moment of it. The Musikladen performance of Psalm gives this song a whole new dimension. It's fantastic but I don't really think that Ferry was taking the piss out of religion. He just appeared to be in great form on that particular day. Look at the playful tambourine use and the mock dancing on Pyjamarama from the same performance. Ferry was obviously using the white tux on a different level to that employed on the cover of Another Time Another Place. This excellent post by Martin Stockman, pulled from the archives a while back, explains it better than I could ever wish to do . I think the image (of the white tux) works on about three levels. Firstly, and most obviously, as a homage to Rick in Casablanca. The film is undoubtedly a huge influence on Bryan. The sense of cool. The smoky nightclub situation. The emotional quandry of his relationship with Ilse Lundt, (Which way to turn). The late night reverie. Secondly I think the tux works on a rather lowlife level. In another interview he claims that the image springs from a "Cunard" cruise crooner. (Cunard is/was a shipping line.) In other words an altogether less glamourous proposition : One imagines a singer past his prime getting work on a cruise ship, pulling on the moth-eared tux each night and crooning standards to a blue-rinse crowd. Thirdly, and this overlaps with the Cunard suggestion, is the image of the spivvy nightclub gigolo. The kind of unscrupolous, pussy-hound, bar shark characterized in James Ellroy and Raymond Chandler. The Psalm CD-Rom footage employs this attitude. If you haven't seen it Bryan snarls through a couple of the numbers. Bitter, sweaty and quite angry. The white tux is a symbol of faded glamour and jaded personality. This is not Rick or Sam Spade. This is a hired hand at an out of town mob convention. .. In saying all that my favourite piece remains the very moving, atmospheric, and altogether less ironic performance of Mamouna from the Danny Baker show. All styles served here indeed. Thanks all. Drew. _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2001 13:50:31 +0100 (BST) From: lorelei@zoom.co.uk Subject: [AVALON] For when you get back.

Apologies if you've already read this elsewhere . . .

Thanks to all that made that possible. Special thanks to Reecey for the vids, and to Heather James for manning the US CD tree. I haven't had a chance to view the vids yet, but I've listened to "This is Roxy Music 2001" several times - including right now (at work - gulp)! My God, it's good! I am going to Camden on Thursday, and now I am starting to get Reecey-esque nervousness/anticipation. This is going to be incredible - I am not sure what I expected, but the performance of the current Roxy ensemble exceeds any expectations that I had. I feel extremely lucky to have the TOTP and Glasgow BBC broadcasts on CD, and to have the soon-to-be-viewed videos. We live in wonderful times. Okay, enough raving for now. God bless Avalon!

I arrived home two days ago to find that my bathroom cieling had collapsed. Today the Superintendant came to fix it. He's a very cool guy named Alex, an immigrant from Guatemala. He came just after 'The Sting of El Ferrante!' arrived in the mail. While I was giving it a listen, he came in and asked "You like Bryan Ferry? He was my hero growing up in Guatemala!" It seems that good taste is universal!
