Amazing Grace is the sound of a man who has been through really tough times (I think we'll eventually hear more about what Ferry went through in the '90s, tho' no time soon) and come through, feeling nothing but gratitude for his survival. I remember reading an interview in which he recalled feeling a slight disappointment on learning that the song wasn't American in origin - he seemed to feel that that spoiled the feel and the flow of the album. The sincerity of his vocal is touching - I really like the recording. It isn't inventive - compare with the Neville Brothers' version - but it's emotionally sound. (On the other hand, Bryan's stab at Answer Me almost kills me.) > But almost all of those remixes from the eighties and ninties are 100% > crap, > still can't imagine that Ferry got anything to do with that. I found them interesting or funny at first, however annoying they turned out to be over the longer term - they seemed to reflect Ferry's chronic attraction to any newly minted musical style or sound, a problem I sympathise with as a fellow sufferer. I understood that he was involved in commissioning and approving these mixes - can anyone confirm? Pascal Gabriels (partly responsible for the Latin Limbo mix, the full length version of which I loved - a very coherent thing that still sounds good) mentions being thoroughly impressed by Ferry's choice of a Marks & Spencer shirt ("so cool") when they met to discuss things. (So they met, at least. ) The Future Sound of London had nothing but scorn for I Put a Spell On You, the Ferry track that they used as the basis for their Yage mixes on the Spell CD5 but I still like the results of their Bryan-and-Carleen sigh-fest. (The shorter of their two contributions.) It appeared some time before the group achieved widespread recognition, though they'd released one album under the FSOL name. Gary Cobain's take on the situation: The long mix of Don't Stop the Dance seemed to hold together well, being surprisingly gimmick-free. (Lampcov? Again, I'm away - far away - from my vinyl.) I remember enjoying the Brooklyn mix (not the extended or dub versions or whatever they were called) of The Right Stuff (back of the 7"single) for its clarity and relative simplicity. And those Eno mixes of The 39 Steps, set some centuries in the future(s).. .

What does it take for BF to have a #1 album in the US charts? Supposing that he would release a new album 18 months from now, with roughly 12 original tracks? How does such an artist compete commercially with today's throwaway boyband-pop, rap and numetal acts? I know that such an endeavour seems a fancy, but I'd love to see it happen. I don't think that critical acclaim and mainstream commercial success are mutally exclusive. Is being 'too mainstream' something that credible artists (especially ones pushing on a bit) avoid to a degree? I know that another factor to this is that music industries are largely youth-focused, both in terms of artists and their audiences. So, how would BF get a top ten US album, without resorting to 'cheap' tactics like Ozzy's 'reality sitcom'? :-) I, for one, think that such an album would have to have 2 or 3 uptempo 'radio' tracks with accompanying music videos, while somehow managing to convince MTV to give these videos some decent playtime. That would leave 8 or 9 other tracks for the 'album fans' to find three or four resplendent songs (a la Dream Home, I Thought, Sea Breezes). - -- -- Another brief query - do you think Bryan will ever do a boisterous song again, or is that style lost forever? Some good examples of this style were 'If This Is Something' (especially the closing bit), 'Whirlwind', 'The BOB' ("Too many times beautiful"), 'Prairie Rose' (closing bit), and 'Party Doll' (well, that's just more uptempo) ? Baby Blue is about as close as he has come to that style recently, but it is still way off the 'shout-iness' of these tracks. Maybe he decided to drop that style permanently (some years ago now) because he was losing some confidence in his voice just for that particular style?

It seems that in Japan, an >impoted cd actually costs less that a domestic one for whatever reason. (The following is gossip, hearsay and second-hand information.) This is because the overwhelming majority of import CDs in Japan are actually from a Taiwanese pirate firm called Son May, who flood the market with astonishingly well-made pirates -- silver discs with professionally printed booklets. So Japanese importers just flat out tell the legitimate record companies that it's not worth paying a high per-disc cost for imports of the new Bryan Ferry album (the unspoken understanding being that if Virgin doesn't sell the importer 5000 copies of Frantic at ~ 50 cents per CD, then the importer will just get the same 5000 copies from Son May for that price). It actually works the same way to the USA, but in much smaller quantities. I have friends who sell anime merchandise, and the market for film soundtracks is certainly there. An importer can either get 10 copies of a soundtrack from a Japanese importer at $20 apiece, or 10 copies from Son May at $7 apiece. Given that the quality is identical -- Son May operates very strictly within Taiwanese law and is a "legitimate" record company as far as distribution within Taiwan... just one which doesn't pay royalties, that's all -- and the only difference between the finished product is the teeny "SON MAY" stamp on the back cover, lots of dealers go with Son May. There's actually an incredible ethics war over this company which you can read about on the anime communities, such as www.animejump.com. Interestingly, Son May never comes up in bootleg discussion because -- to my knowledge -- they do not distribute conventional bootlegs, only pirates of legit albums. I'm not sure whether Japan has as much of a problem with CD-R pirates on street corners as they do in Hong Kong and Singapore, but it wouldn't surprise me and would also contribute to the overall low cost of imports there. - --Grant _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Avalonians on tour 2002: http://helios.unive.it/~tcecilia/meetup.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 15:32:50 +0100 From: "Fiske, Jocelyn" Subject: RE: [AVALON] The really big show > Jas, apart from Tamla Motown, in my book Brian Wilson is the best you could send over.

These artists usually also have some fans from #3 below (Beatles, U2) 3) An artist comes into the arena at exactly the right time in history, appeals to a musically oriented subculture because they are musically and socially relevant, and their album takes off, mostly from word-of-mouth, no matter how little support they got from their label, who didn't see them as commercial at first. (Nirvana, Guns N Roses) Ferry would be most likely to get there by No. 2 and had a shot with Love Is the Drug but alas he is no match for the commercial pop terrorism that seems to forever hold America in its deathgrip.

Thanks to the generosity of others, I am offering a Roxy Live CD - Vienna Plain, to fellow North Americans. This offer is for B&P or for trade. I will make a total of five copies available. Two of the five will be reserved for generous Avalonians willing to make similar offers to share on the list, so tell me if you are willing to burn for the good of the group. The other three are available on a first come first served basis. If you don't hear from me, you weren't among the group of five. But there should be at least two more branches springing up soon as a result of this offer.

I just don't like the taste. I like for example Bryan's version of Goin' Down' while others dislike it to the point of derision. Am I right ?. Are the songs detractors right ?. Well the answer is yes, twice. Thus the line " we both know that we are right". I could go on and on but i'm running out of time.

Yes, but this is a *discussion* list--we're here to talk about the music of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music: what we like, what we don't like, what we wish for, the songs everyone should love no matter what (e.g., One Way Love), etc. And as this discussion is the nature--if not the very heart--of this list, it is not "pointless" to try to explain to others on this list why we do or don't like the songs. Instead, it's the best sort of traffic that there could be on this list. It is a conversation that provides the unifying context for us to get to know one another and--perhaps inadvertently--learn more about this music we all hold so dear. Unfortunately, Avalon, unlike other music mailing lists, doesn't really have a tradition of conversation about music. In fact, almost every time a substantive, interesting conversation about music gets going, it gets shot down. I'm here to ask that it instead keep going forward.
