[KB Porter ] Re: [AVALON] The set list on Frantic Tour [KB Porter Subject: [AVALON] Rock Pirates At the risk of being in trouble for writing off topic, I'll justify this post because Lee Sullivan is a member here, and he is much too modest to post himself. His band, Rock Pirates new single is being played for the first time on radio this Wednesday at 7.40 pm on the Russell Osbourne show. This is the very popular battle of the bands night on Hertbeat FM. You can listen to it online, so no need to fiddle with aerials, tuning of radios, etc. The site is www.hertbeat.com. Thank you for reading.

J.O'B. ] Agreed, John. Charly, I very much enjoyed your post for it presented me (and I hope others, too) with the plausibility of a 'thematic' scheme applied to current Ferry concerts. I had not given any thought to the set list 'presentation' as a timeline anthology! Your post was Eureka!!! Thanks for the enlightenment. Best wishes.

I think this failure is partially due to the fact that they never quite exploited the glamour and style of the band (especially of course, Ferry). A lot of the videos seem to have been done on the cheap which hardly helps matters. In fact when I consider my favourite Roxy/Ferry promos my mind instantly travels to performances on the likes of Musikladen and Whistle Test which seem to me to best illustrate the band at their best rather than the offical promos.

From Virgin: "First four seminal albums are repackaged and re-released for your listening pleasureB B B One of the founding members of Roxy Music, Brian Enobs departure in 1973 led him along a more experimental but nevertheless acclaimed path. Accredited as the pioneer of ambient music hebs also collaborated with Talking Heads and produced U2, David Bowie and James. In addition, hebs written several books, created art installations, given numerous interviews on a variety of subjects and lectured intensively.B And on 17th May, Enobs first four solo albums are being repackaged and re-released. They are: Here Come The Warm Jets (1973), Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (1974), Another Green World (1975) and Before & After Science (1977). His early recordings are rock based and more experimental in sound and style than what was considered 'mainstream' at the time. Even his lyrics often seemed like streams of consciousness or unrelated sentences.B Here Come The Warm Jets was an energetic and experimental oeuvre which reached the UK top 30. Taking Tiger Mountain was a collection of abstract pop tracks inspired by a Chinese revolutionary opera. Meanwhile Another Green World and the follow-up, Before & After Science featured his first steps into ambient music.B These re-releases are just the beginning: all of his albums are to be re-released in collections of four. The entire collection will be released with stickers featuring opinions and quotes from a variety of sources. The music will not be 'remastered' but instead will be re-transferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue masters.
