Tara is a historic hill in county Meath, Ireland. It was a center of pre-Christian religion, and before AD 560, the seat of the kings of Ireland. Several mounds at the site indicate the location of the hall of kings, and a pillar stone, called the "Stone of Destiny", is believed to be the place where the kings were crowned. Excavations at Tara have revealed Bronze Age burials. Using Tara as the basis of my analysis of FYP, I feel this song is about destiny, or fate. True enough, this piece begins with an example of an individual 'state of being' (the staged performance, rock and roll tumble over your shoulder), that is essentially an illustration of a 'universal' state of being, as explained below: (please allow this paraphrase of FYP's verse) 'For your pleasure: In our present state - part false, part true, (like anything) - we present ourselves. The words we use, tumble all over your shoulder, gravel hard and loose.' I interpret those lines, in a 'universal' sense, to mean "as is everything, we are imperfect, and we show/display ourselves. Our words, our conveyances are course, and flow freely". This in essence is the 'human condition'. 'There all night, lying with your dark horse hiding, abhorring such extremes. You're rubbing shoulders with the stars at night - shining so bright - getting older. But you'll wake up soon and fight. In the morning, things you worried about last night will seem lighter.' Here, I think it is the after-gig parties, the celebration of idols, and the trappings, excesses of success that Mr. Ferry finds extreme. His 'conscience' tells him that state of existence is plastic, fake, and essentially not true. These lines universally illustrate the struggle within, and the idea that things will 'right' themselves as a person grows/matures. That given time, you will find your essence, understand what is important, make your stand and hold your ground on principle: 'Hidden conscience' will prevail - it just will take time. 'I hope things will turn out right, old man.' Ferry affirms his ambivalence about the certainty of an unfolding life and its fatal march. 'Through every step a change.' Life is a progression, a series of phases that eventually become the past as one steps into the future. 'You watch me walk away.' The maturing self is able to reflect upon ones own past, see the taken paths and how the journey has changed the subject - the evolving self - into a 'king' at the "Stone of Destiny". A self-fulfilling prophecy, if you will. C'est tout!

If she hadn't been there, we would have been stuck with Manzanera trying to emulate Jobson on OOTB. And she did a fine job on synthesizers as well.

Late last year,when Napster was still viable,I noticed someone downloading interesting songs from me-by Lida Husik and Heidi Berry...the best thing about Napster was that you could then go into the downloading person's directory and see what they had--hence how I discovered Goldfrapp.I bought the album(proving the RIAA wrong) and set out to get as much info on Goldfrapp as possible. Alison Goldfrapp,formerly a fine arts student from Middlesex University, has indeed worked with Bryan Ferry,and in some interview I read SOMEWHERE,said that though he was always a "gentleman",became increasingly frustrated with his slow,obsessive studio work that seemingly was never going to see the light of day.(apparently Alison is a very perceptive lass) She then went off,finally hooking up with Will Gregory,taking as the name of their group her last name. In reaction to what she had experienced with our beloved Mr. Ferry,they decided to record Felt Mountain in some out of the way bungalow. It's a great album.Mysterious and very evocative -suggested download:"Lovely Head",then you too will have no choice but to buy the album Felt Mountain. But will her work with Bryan ever become public? I am waiting...but fear that Godot will arrive sooner. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 09:03:10 -0700 From: David Firmin Subject: Re: [AVALON] Strange picture of Andy He didn't actually eat out of his hat. Both night in LA,I observed Andy wolfing down those meatballs like it was his last meal. Andy appeared surprisingly thin for the amount of food he was consuming.

Whereas I've always considered Doreen's a fine voice -- witness "Same Time Next Week" as the most conspicuous example from the RM-family catalog. Perhaps just a poor role being cast as backup? Poor mixing? (My theory is that Jacqui was the culprit -- she had the natural grace and moves, so was cast as eye candy to offset Doreen's awkward style, but was no singer and the voices did not blend live. At all.) Of course I didn't see the tour, so have no idea what it was _really_ like (though this is, to me, also readily apparent on the "A Rhapsody Divine..." clips). -wfs ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 12:23:28 EDT From: ASchulberg@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Re: avalon-digest V6 #393 In a message dated 08/24/2001 10:37:57 AM Eastern Daylight Time, johnobrien65@yahoo.co.uk writes: > If you check out the list of musicians/credits on > vivaroxymusic.com you will see that there are 595 > names there which are from all the Roxy Music, Bryan > Ferry, Phil Manzanera & God bless you, John.

Am gnawing my right arm right now, at the thought of listening to this. I did a quick search for this interview, but could only find it in German. I'm posting the URL -- would any German Avalonians be so kind as to translate her comments about working with Bryan? (the Google translator is BAD -- but does produce some pretty amusing results) http://www.mucke-und-mehr.de/magint/goldfrap.htm An unrelated sidenote: she also worked with Peter Gabriel, most notably by singing on "Ovo."
