Like his former rival David Bowie, Ferry has covered so much ground that it's hard not to repeat himself. Frantic sees Ferry both innovating and consolidating. His obsession with Dylan is still there - Don't Think Twice (It's Alright) and It's All Over Now Baby Blue are both done well. The bow-tied romance also remains : Fool For Love glides - of course ! - out of Richard The Lionheart's Medieval ballad Ja Nun Hons Pris. Of the collaborators, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood adds edginess to Hiroshima and Dave Stewart brings pop melody to Cruel and Goddess Of Love. Perhaps most intriguingly. ex-Ferry nemesis Brian Eno adds clanky keyboards to I Thought, the best track here. *** - ---------------------------------------- Reecey... Yahoo!

Maybe stating the obvious - but Roxy have produced some tracks that are more "interesting" than others. As far as "Psalm" is concerned it's my least favourite track from Stranded and it does go on a bit.... It would be interesting to see it done live, I think the chances of that happening are pretty much zero. Aleks Yahoo!

Appearing at Number 30 is Roxy Music, For Your Pleasure Text reads: In a world of his own, where music and passion are always the fashion, glam-god Bryan Ferry indulges his most pathetic erotic idolatries. Damn, it sounds good. Sounds like: Splashy widescreen glitter rock starring Bryan Eno's synthesizer. Best song: "Beauty Queen," a tortured love ballad to an invisible sex wraith. On a personal note, I was glad to see that Quicksilver Messenger Service's "Happy Trails" made the list at Number 44.

Isaac Ferry was shown the door at Eton after being found guilty of sending an "abusive" e-mail to the head of a local anti-hunting group. Isaac, who's an avid blaster of small furry creatures, was charged with harassing the appropriately named Simon Wild, of West Sussex Wildlife Protection Group. So much for trying to make practical use of a mouse rather than merely blowing one away . . .

No cooincidence with that "Y" in the christian name is it? How much did he make from this venture?

So DO NOT read this if you're going to get offended I am not passing a view on hunting one way or another. Surely some apt lyrics in here: Flesh and Blood (you'd shoot it if you could) Is Your Hound Strong Enough? (just one fox at a time) Don't Stop the Hunt (drifting through a world that's full of foxes - every one I shoot don't mean a thing) Oh - Oh - Catch that Fox Angel Is(aac) (Why in the World are you so ) Cruel Blast Away (dressed to kill foxes and guess who's dying) I know - you know - we're killing foxes Possible Cover Versions School's Out - Alice Cooper Eton Rifles - Jam I shot the foxes - Eric Clapton Rob ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V7 #106 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
