If that's the case, I have this horrible, lingering fear that Virgin Records America, which is the planet's worst record company, will give this all the attention that they did the last Sylvian, Manic Street Preachers and Placebo records: none whatsoever. Also cause for concern: Virgin US released those last two albums domestically many months after they came out in England.

As much as I like Taxi and Mamouna I'd like to see him shift the tempo a bit more from time to time." Nicely put, Philip! I've liked listening to Mr. Ferry's original work over the years because it is never the same. There may be underlying trends, i.e. glam pop, avant-garde ?rock?, romantic and ethereal 'avalons', darker, more perverse trends. But whatever the style Ferry works in, there are always the common elements of twisty rhythmic lyrics, ambiguous imagery, interesting, experimental and very good musical sounds. All of which are very intelligently fitted together in unique fashion. Each album is distinctly different (in my mind). I do not understand how anyone can state, say, that Bete Noire and Mamouna* are the same - dark, boring, depressing, 'stuck in the same old mold' stuff. I'd agree on one point with those individuals - these two albums are definitely not Roxy Music. Only Roxy Music is RM, as only Bryan Ferry can be Bryan Ferry! If BF's music hadn't evolved or changed throughout the years I would probably not be a fan since each album would be predictable in its impact upon me - now that, I believe, would be categorically boring. * Please do not read this to mean that I believe you, Philip, think Bete Noire and Mamouna are the same - I use these two only for comparison and illustration of my thoughts on the subject of BF's original work over time. Similar comparisons might be made between other various BF albums, too. Bryan Ferry's cover solo work is yet another subject that is of interest. Another time, perhaps. Beat wishes.

True, but Weller came back both after the breakups after The Jam and Style Council, and is one of the few people that have been number one with three different names. >Fortunately, the music was unbelievably awesome. The Style Council box is worth owning. I have not warmed to his 90's solo stuff, but I might after giving it another spin.

The entire music industry has long been in need of enema and as Heather pointed out in her post: Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 09:48:09 -0500 From: Heather James Subject: Re: [AVALON] Fundraiser Concerts to Fight the RIAA ....it seems more and more people in the business are finally coming forward to say enough is enough. In another industry related tiff, Dick Clark (co-producer of the American Music Awards) is suing The Grammy Awards for black-listing performers who appear on his (Clark`s) show. This stems from an incident involving Michael Jackson backing out of a AMA show after the producers of the Grammys threatened to black-list him if he appeared on the AMA show....like anyone really cares. And on a final note, someone had the bright idea to book Wayne Newton to perform for the troops in Afghanistan. I wonder what kind of reaction he got to Danke Schoen? Gene P.S. For those of you who care, I`m now back to my old e-mail address.

Just the other day someone said that their would only be one cover song on Bryan's new album, the venerable "Green green grass of home". Apparently their have been many revisions to this album. Will any of the Dave Stewart songs make the cut or have they been shelved for later? Hope springs eternal for us Ferry fans, and I think finally some real excitement that we are on the threshold of an album release. What about the Eno co-written songs? I hope this isn't another wild goose chase. Running out of time.
