Outstanding doesn't do 'I Thought' enough justice, it's possibly one of the greatest songs Ferry has EVER done, right up there in my Top 5 anyway. It is without doubt the stand-out track of Frantic... Warm Jets phased guitars, Duane Eddy tremolo twang, swirling synth ambience, pizzicato strings, harp, and harmonica that instantly recalls John Barry's haunting theme to Midnight Cowboy. And the lyrics... perfect. It's nearly reduced me to tears several times already. Bless those nice people who send out promos!

Agreed - from which, Hearst and then San Simeon. I'm glad we don't hear the word 'Rosebud' in the song somewhere. I was listening carefully for it, ready to cringe. Anyway, we seem to have moved on from the Josef Von Sternberg stuff that was used to such good effect in Mamouna and even crept into ATGB. Agreed about the Americana pattern - however European the embedded film references might be, there's usually a US angle and that's entirely consistent for Ferry, from the first Roxy album and Viriginia Plain onwards. I can't believe I've had quite so many Avalon digests in just one day. Thanks for your replies and the info, and the same goes to you, Roxy Siren - a very welcome return.

The Concert I went to at Newcastle City Hall in Feb '95 was actually very good. No trace of what I had heard at other venues. The place was full and Bryan was great, saying "That's what I like to see" when we all rush to the front at the sound of 'Virginia Plain'. >I agree that Slave To Love is truly excellent but it did stand apart >from >the rest of the album for me on those first few listens. It >sounds more >layered and complete as if ferry spent a long time on this >track and did >the rest in a hurry! I agree that Slave To Love seems to stand out from the rest of the Boys and Girls album. I do think Bryan spent a lot of time on that song. I remember in an interview where Bryan said he didn't really want to make the video for it, he wanted to leave it to peoples imaginations. He didn't want to portray just one interpretation of the song in a story format. I got the impression he really thought about that song. >I felt it had dated badly. >Avalon, although older, sounds fresh. 8 yrs on from Mamouna, I think it has >dated excellently....very fresh >sounding....the hard work paid off I >think. I don't feel that B&G has dated badly but I agree Avalon is a great album. I must admit I haven't listened to Avalon for a while now.

I didn't start collecting Roxy Music until about 3 or 4 years ago, about the time I joined this list. I remember everyone raving about 'Out of The Blue'. I'll probably be crucified for this, but the first time I heard it I didn't like it at all. I must admit it is one of my favourites now. It's amazing how something can really grow on you. >As for Robert Palmer.....gutted that I haven't seen him in concert It's a shame you didn't get to see Robert Palmer in Concert. I've always wondered what one of his concerts would be like. I think I'll have to go on his next tour. Well, sorry for going on a bit.

I think ATGB began around 1997 when BF did some songs with Colin Good for the Richard the Third production. Trower was still involved then too as he produced Sonnet 18 released originally at the end of 1997. I would guess this is roughly the time when Ferry stopped working with Trower.

B&P stands for Blank & Postage -- the less complicated version of a CD-tree which I usually do. Fewer people get copies than would with a tree, but it means far smaller headaches and less committed devotion to one offering, allowing the maintainer to do more offers more frequently. And if anyone out there in Avalonland with Concord 2001 wants to swap with me, then I'd be happy to B&P it out to eight other people. - --Grant _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 08:46:36 -0500 From: KB Porter Subject: Re: [AVALON] Concord 2001 ...

Keep with it... Would there be any themes running through some newly released material? It is interesting that Goodnight Irene preceeds Hiroshima and that This Love follows same on Alphaville. How so? Let's just run some of the words together: I'm gonna take morphine and die Irene goodnight, Goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams ... Unconscious in Versailles I wake up in Chiang-Mai think I must jack in You make me weep you make me moan a thousand suns and then you're gone o neon wind (shimmering neon flickers - symptomatic) ...

I know that doesn't mean much to you, but after I've tracked down stuff I wanted, then remastered it and designed what might loosely be called "artwork," then paid to host it on my special website while offering the artwork to anyone that wants it for free, I like to "trade" it for other music I like to people who might want the music I have.

Holiday in Dirt is a collection of New, Rare and Unreleased material. But it's formatted to hang together as a record. and it's pretty darn good. BING CAN'T WALK was written for the movie "Slamdance" at the request of its producer. I can't swear to it but I think this song was on the 1987 soundtrack. From the CD booklet Stan's notes say the song was written about ".... secret and horrifying TV outtakes one of which showed a Bing Crosby TV special where he tripped into the orchestra pit and broke his legs.

I personally said I would eat my breakfast if that artwork turned out to be genuine. And I did. Let it be stated clearly that I certainly didn't think we were being hoaxed by the excellent folk at vivaroxymusic.com!! I thought they might have been hoaxed by someone else. And I still think the artwork *stinks*. I prefer the sleeve of In Your Mind, which I previously thought was the worst Ferry cover. It looks positively good by comparison. I also thought the cover of the recent Best Of... was atrocious and said so at the time. What the hell is going on with these "designers"? Has the legendary Ferry quality control lapsed?

Subject: [AVALON] Re: This & that I believe it was Paula talking about Hard Rock Stations in Dallas playing heavy metal. Yes indeed there was a few. One the most popular was KZEW 99 FM. with this crazy logo thing with the saying Fly the Zoo. Another was Q!02 & they played some real hard core music.------ On another note - - About Dylan he played here last Fri. night. I for one don't care whether he's well liked or not. He put on a 2hr.plus show without any warm up act. The man is up for another Grammy tonight. His music is probably used more than anyone else's in movies. His music has been covered more than anyone I know & he has written songs for other artists. He must be doing something right to stay around for some 30 yrs. & more. Besides Bryan sure thinks a lot of him.

Folks, A friend of mine in the Audiogalaxy.com Bryan ferry club has emailed me to say that a few tracks from the new album are becoming available for download. I had hoped that there would be no leakages to audiogalaxy as its a major mp3 site and files do multiply fast and could (although not in a major way) have an effect on sales. I know most people here would buy the record anyway but the borderline purchaser not on this list may be different. I am trying to stay away from these clips etc as I want to hear the record as its released. Therefore, as I haven't downloaded these tracks, I cannot say if they are correct. Sometimes, a track can be masked ie you download a track like "Hiroshima" and out comes Slave to love....so beware. The songs are as follows: Nobody Loves Me San Simeon Hiroshima One Way Love PS There doesn't seem to be many users sharing the files and thus, if users are offline, the tracks are not downloadable. You must type the Title i.e. Hiroshima followed by Bryan Ferry in the searchbox. Were the above tracks the ones made available on any particular promo? If so, a copy has got into the wrong hands. regards Bryan ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V7 #72 *************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
