It's fantastic. "My Head Sounds Like That" is beautiful. "The Barry Williams Show" is ingenious. I want to hear it again and again. I haven't felt like that since "In Your Mind." 2002 has really been a good year for music. Fez had his best album since '78. Bowie's getting rave reviews and Gabriel has put out an exceptional album. I love it! Michael Walker wrote:Hi, Being a member of a few Genesis groups as well as Roxy Music, I was interested in the comments made about Peter Gabriel's new CD "UP" , that I bought a copy today. What can I say. Absolute brilliance!!!. He still has the voice, the power and the emotion. I would recommend it to anyone with no hesitation. In comparsion to Mr Ferry's latest contribution, FRANTIC, Mr Gabriel's CD wipes the floor. Far superior. Having said this, I feel that, if Mr Ferry had stuck to the format of ALPHAVILLE, which is, in my own opinion, also superior to FRANTIC, then maybe I would have had two excellent albums instead of one brilliant (UP) and one mediocre (FRANTIC). Also, just to add to my last mail to Avalon, I hope Mr Gabriel decides to tour Australia, if Mr Ferry is not. At least then I would not be totally disappointed in 2003. Michael. NP.

While some think it is his best since the late seventies, I personally think it is his all time worst, alongside In Your Mind. The cover sleeves to this album, and Frantic say it all. POOR, SHODDY, CHEAP, to name but a few adjectives that spring to mind. Like I mentioned previously, if he had stuck to the format of Alphaville??? All the tracks on this CD are superior to the Frantic tracks. As to matching output, correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr Gabriel's "SO" album surpassed Ferry's "Boys and Girls" album, in both sales and music/video awards. Also, Flesh and Blood, "The Worst Of Roxy", Definitely Not!! More realistically, Manifesto. Michael ps. Do Think Twice, It's Certainly NOT Alright. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Avalonians on tour 2002: http://helios.unive.it/~tcecilia/meetup.html US ticket sale info: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ (updated weekly) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2002 22:32:23 -0400 (EDT) From: Colleen Matan Subject: Re: [AVALON] Ferry 'v'Gabriel And again, I say: Oh yeah?
