I remember at the time I hoped he would do more of those acoustic songs. Below is a snippet of an interview from Q magazine where he is searching for the accordion player for the recording. (Funny detail:they listen outside the hall in an opencar because the ticket prices where a too high!) At last he choose two players from an Argentinean orchestra.The same old guys he used on I'm in the mood. Saw the Tango Argentina show here in Holland two times and it was a surprise to see that Bryan attended the same shows. The live version is o.k. but because it hasn't got the accordion player it misses that specific sound that makes the album version so special. >>>>Bryan learns that Ry Cooder will shortly begin his second set at a club off Hollywood Boulevard. He is searching for an accordion player to work on the title tune of Bete Noire (the vast majority of modern musicians, it should be noted, would leave the choice up to their producer or manager or, just as likely these days, steal the desired sounds through sly sampling). As part of the same quest, earlier in the evening he and Lucy have been to see Tango Argentina, a performance by an Argentinian musical troupe. Ry Cooder seems to Ferry to be the sort of person who'd have an accordion in his group, so it's decided to drive down to the club, in the blue Mustang with wire wheels that he's rented. Tickets for the show are rather expensive. We decide instead to sit in the car, with its top down, in the balmy, carbon monoxide air of the car park, where Cooder's band can be clearly heard. "I can't hear an accordion player," says Bryan, troubled. A new tune begins, clearly featuring an accordion. We jump out of the car and rush inside. On the way in a wino asks Ferry for a dollar for a "cup of coffee". Ferry reaches inside a trouser pocket. He hands the wino a coin. "I won't give you a dollar," he says, "but I'll give you a quarter-that'll help you on your way." Compared with the performers in Tango Argentina, Ry Cooder's accordion player is disappointing. "I saw Tango Argentina in New York three years ago. I thought then how great it would be to film them. Now it looks as though I'm going to end up recording them." (He does.)<<< Han ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 13:27:45 EST From: KWil632057@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] The Divine Comedy In a message dated 28/10/01 17:58:21 GMT Standard Time, Ktwicked@aol.com writes: > > Hey People, > > Ive just heard a rumor that The Divine Comedy have created a cover of 'Oh > Yeah'. > It will be featured on there last released single before they break up. > > ktx > Should be murderous then.

It's one of those songs that only Ferry could create - dark Latin rhythms, sensuous lyrics, the singer staking his place in that forlorn world between love and desire. At this point he was beginning to explore new territory musically - ergo the dance beat that pervades the album - and at the same time developing his own , solo, musical persona. To me it 's one of those treasured Ferry songs that should be heard more often.

I can't think of many and they seemed fine to me, except for the Bside 'Make It Easy On Yourself', which (being live and somewhat out-of-tune) I would have definitely left in the can. I'm surprised to hear they're breaking up though - I thought Neil Hannon WAS The Divine Comedy ? Regards, Ivor. n.p.

More than any other song, it most closely matches the Ferry public persona IMO. I hadn't realized that Tango Argentina had been an inspiration for this song but it certainly makes sense that it was. Thanks to Han for posting the Ferry interview from Q magazine in which Bryan talks about his bandeneon player selection process. Saw Tango Argentina in San Francisco and long to see it again. Great romanticism. Great beauty. Always wondered why "Bete Noire" was not included on the New Town video. I suppose it's a song which loses is impact without the bandeneon players who were not touring with Bryan. I do listen to "Bete Noire" live on the Glasgow 1988 tree. Wonderful, yes, but not quite as good as the studio version with the bandeneons. I've listened to "Bete Noire" weekly since 1988. Never tire of it. Can't say I listen to any other one song with such devotion. _______________________________________________________ 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 ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V6 #503 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
