One thing I have always admired about Bryan was his non discussion of politics. Or indeed anything at all in most cases ! Despite the more recent non music publicity he hasn't really done anything other than support his sons.

The uninteresting thing about this list is its dysfunction: I and many others have contributed Roxy Music related content into a seeming void. Yet there is an abundance of non-Roxy talked freely (in addition, filling storage space with Peyton Place dialog is a waste of resources). So you many reply that I start 'uninteresting threads' ... May I remind you, Jonathan, that I have very kindly answered your requests, offlist, for interpretation of many RM songs? And you have yet to share any insight as to what your interpretations are? - If you ask and receive offlist, but yet refuse to answer (in courtesy to my request) either on or offlist, that is your business. But trying to discuss RM onlist, in any depth, has proven to be rather fruitless. Per your current request, may I submit a new topic for consideration? I have read several posts where the writers say that "Chain Reaction" from Mamouna is 'brilliant'. Personally I do not understand why they believe so. Anyone who thinks "Chain Reaction" is 'above Ferry average' care to discuss why they believe so? Best wishes.

I think that all of "Mamouna" is brilliant because it's like a 45 minutes long meditation, an almost religious chant. It's much more related to some of Brian Eno's work then most of what Ferry otherwise has recorded, indeed Mr Eno is on the album. It's a great album for me to work to. "Chain Reaction", being the last track signals the end, and oh has 40 minutes passed this quickly? I guess it's the mood of the entire album, elusive and in Bryan Ferry's own words "mysterious" that appels to me. - -- Daniel ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 20:27:13 +0100 (CET) From: robert@rwhiteford.freeserve.co.uk Subject: Re: Re: [AVALON] How Basic We Are - Clinics and Clink it's because its different. It has a different approach. Simple but complex. Only Ferry can do lyrics like "when you tell me to pass it on - I'll pass it on" without sounding stupid. Amongst long drawn out rubbish like Which Way to Turn (Backwards ?) and the incredibly bad mix which loses his voice and most of the clarity this stands out along with the beautiful Your Painted Smile as having something of the real Ferry about it. Its strange but strangely compelling.
