It's along the lines of Mamouna/Alphaville. What you have to remember is that the cd we know as Alphaville was not probably going to be released in that form, I doubt very much if Sonnet would have been in there. The other material is in some points even better than the stuff that did surface on the Alphaville cd, Goddess of Love and I Thought also came from those sessions though the versions that did appear on Frantic may have been re-mixed/recorded for that album. It's because of what is in the cans and not been released that has made Frantic a dissapointment for me. Basically it's a compilation of covers that date back to the summer of 2000, a set of inferior re-recordings/remixings of material that dates back 4/5 years and a nine year old outake from Taxi. I would love to know if anyone can name a Ferry original that has been penned and recorded since the summer of 2000, I know I can't which make s me wonder what Ferry's next album will have to offer.

Having said that I get the feeling that in his latter work he has started projects and has difficulty in completing them. Maybe it's his search for perfection? Wasn't this the case with Mamouma, which from what I could gather was torture in the time it took to produce? The end result was an album that had many layers but would probably not end up as being on top of most peoples favourite Ferry album list.

Now other than just telling us the gig was > "great", how about writing a review - in redemption for > ignoring the list so long? Well, to summarise, it was better than I expected. My expectations are reasonably clear from the fact that I couldn't even be bothered to ask if any Avalonians were going to it. I basically thought it was going to be more of a concert than a gig. And it was, to start with. But when the cast went off for the first costume change, and you lot (although I didn't know it was you) went up the front, I abandoned my mum in the second row and realised how good it would be after all. Maybe it wasn't as special as Roxy last year, but I was up the front, so it worked for me. Some parts dragged on a bit, and there were a few song choices that I thought could have been improved upon - "My Only Love" for one - but overall, he didn't disappoint. My mum hasn't seen him live since 1973, and she was impressed. I think I've come to take the quality of his voice at this age for granted somewhat ;> Well, that's all I can come up with for now, but I have started reading Avalon again, so you all seem to have drawn me back in ;> - -- Laura Shadbolt Get your own zoom email - click here - http://www.zoom.co.uk/ ___________________________________________________________________________ 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: Fri, 18 Oct 2002 13:46:48 -0400 From: "Arnold Schulberg" Subject: [AVALON] FW: [EddieJobson] Re: mpg For us Eddie Jobson fans, there's now an .mpeg video file of the violin solo from "Out of the Blue" from Stockholm '76 for download.

I'm full of astute observations. Try this one. On nearly every Ferry album there is at least one song about loneliness or isolation..... so why on earth do you refer to him as a lazy sod?its not as though he suddenly gave up writing such songs as "dreamhome" The basic theme runs trough allot of his work.."Another time Another place" for instance, many examples on Bete Noire, Bride stripped bare,one of your favourites"Mamouna" even is a song of isolation. so why do you suddenly turn against San simeon?.its just another in a long line of songs with the same theme.......this proves that Ferry is not lazy .rather that this kind of lyric or song is in his psychic....."have you been listening all these years" maybe not........or is that just an astute observation to far?

The last time I saw Bryan at De Montfort Hall was February 1977 IYM tour, with a very young looking Chris Spedding, so with my 1977 photos in hand I went to De Montfort Hall late afternoon, to catch a brief encounter with the man himself, just like I did 25 years ago. On arrival, I couldn't park my car anywhere near,and as I eventually parked up and walked down the side of De Montfort Hall I saw Colin Good in the Bar chatting to some of the road crew, but alas, I was just too late only to catch the rest of the band get off the coach and slip into a side door. TGPT signed one or two cd covers for a couple of autograph hunters. Interesting, I thought, that there was nine people outside, 7 men, one lady, and one kid. Whatever happened to the groupies? are they a thing of the past? So where was Bryan? He didn't get off the coach so we waited by the stage door for his arrival, and we waited and we waited. One guy had been there since 1.0-clock in the afternoon, and it was now 6.00pm, with no Bryan and no sound check. Eventually, a blue Jag flew into the grounds, straight past the stage door and up to a side door. Following a rush around the building at an average speed of 5 miles per day, we just caught up with Bryan getting out of his car, he looked very glum, agitated at being late, for those who are interested, he was wearing a brown smart jacket with a scarf to protect his voice from the bitter cold. He managed to scribble an autograph or two, while he was heading towards a side door. The security were telling him to rush as he was very late for the sound check, so off he disappeared into the side door. Over in a flash, no autograph for me, no photo as planned, big disappointment all round. So how long would it have taken him to sign 8 autographs? and stop for the odd photo or two? Maybe he was worried about the cold affecting his throat, but a couple of minutes? Not long compared to the guy who had waited 5 hours and didn't get an autograph as well. Not long as the 25 years I waited to have a photo with him again. So off I went dissapointed to get changed and ready for the show. Taking front row seat, we managed to get an autograpgh off Lucy as she checked her violin before the start of the show. Thinking Bryan was glum and agetated, I thought it might be another lack lustre performance like Nottingham, where he was going through the paces. But as The Thrill of it all struck up, we were on our feet taking pole position along with Terry "O" (Great to meet you Terry) Steve Siren and Partner Sue, with daughter Katie, who had her eyes fixed on TGPT, and well deserved the honour of his drumsticks at the end of the show. Great pity the first one bounced over her head into the fourth row. Bryan seemed to rise to the occassion more with the response of the crowd and the band were up for it as well. I thought I saw Chris Spedding smile once, or maybe he just had wind. Unlike Nottingham the crowd stayed on their feet through the ups and downs of the shows tempo. I am sure Mick Green acknowledged me as I had been in the same spot in front of him for four shows, giving me his plectrum after The RAH show. being so close you could really appreciate the value he added to the band particularly Let's Stick Together, which I think sounds better than ever. The set list was the same as Nottingham, So I still have not heard "Just like you " live (If any kind sole has a boot which includes this track please contact me off-list) It's a shame he dropped I Thought, a geat ending track (aka FYP RM last year) but it was a pleasure to hear Baby Blue. The show stopper for me though was, (This might shock!) Carrickfergus, with an awesome performance from Speddo on accoustic guitar and Julie Thornton on Harp, Brilliant, Am I the only one who will admit to loving Carrickfergus? I suppose it's like Marmite Love it or Hate it. A great show, in a great venue fantastic for it's acoustics, Did anyone record it? Steve beat me to the pink feather that Katie left behind on stage, I had my eye on that! Her whole family were waiting to meet her after the show, as this was her home town too. Her sister looked identical. Onto Manchester next for my sixth show, looking forward to a serious meet up that night for all Avalonians! See you all there I hope!

It's maybe not right to compare them since the OUTB solo is a fast, virtous one (Presto Vivace-like), while the Zappa-solo is rather slow, melodic and...... just incredible.

I wanted to like it. I wanted to love it. Instead I am infuriated with what at times feels like a sampler album. Yep, I'm reviewing Frantic, occasionally great, often very good, in places crap, but as a collection of songs, mediocre and unfocused. My main gripe is the complete lack of focus of the album. Yeah, I know many of you will argue that the diverse nature of the songs and their styles is a good thing but look at any Ferry album and you'll find the songs work together creating an overall theme and mood. Not so here, this feels more like a collection of songs thrown together from the archive (which as we know, it is!) unlike, to pick two at random, In Your Mind or Mamouna which both have songs that could only possibly belong on those respective albums. Its often stated by Ferry that Roxy Music had three stages to their career. Frantic acts like trying to please all the people by including a bit of all the stages of Ferry's career: Dylan covers, bluesy rock/folk, rock, pop, dark 80s/90s solo soundscapes and a quirky Eno collaberation. STICK TO ONE FOR HEAVENS SAKE! The chasm between Goodnight Irene and Hiroshima... proves so massive that the songs feel like they belong on albums at least 20 years apart, not bang next door to one another... The problem with this is that listener invariably feels short changed because there is not more of the style that they like: eg: I Thought leaves many begging for more Ferry/Eno compositions, even wanting an lp full of Ferry/Eno collaberations.. I think this diversity is actually an inherent weakness that often manifests in Ferrys live performance. It seems jarring that he can go from IEDHAH to Jealous Guy on stage. Hard luck to the die-hard fans that JG is the one that he is contractually obliged to perform. All this would be acceptable bar the fact that this is the first solo album in what feels like an eternity and yet feels like the Lets Stick Together compilation of loose singles and b-sides. How odd then that the single releases are supported by the oddest b-side choices possible ('Which Way To Turn!!!!!!!!!!!!!' why?) when we know there are unreleased tracks in the archive (well, unreleased to me anyhow). Parts of this album really are great: I don't care when San Simeon was written, it's a haunting, beautiful song with a witty lyric and startling, memorable imagry. The kind of thing Ferry does well and not often enough these days. I Thought, unsurprisingly a fan favourite, is, again, classic Ferry and should be a Christmas single. It's reputation is certainly enhanced by appearing after the satanic One Way Love. Surely the worst song Ferry has recorded and certainly the worst released as a single? Whatever comes next, it's certain there will be another long wait, I really hope that anything new comes after the long rumoured box set (Christmas 2003 being the latest date) has used up a lot of the unreleased material, leaving a nice clean palette for a future release to be created upon. Jonathan ps. The cover is ok by me. Ferry frozen in 1987 seems to indicate a bit more subtext than that bloody Mamouna horse. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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) ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V7 #346 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
