Bryan Ferry will reunite with Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson for a new record and also to play at this year's Isle of Wight festival in June. They have not collaborated in studio since 1983, and Eno, one of the most influential figures in modern music, has not taken part in Roxy Music since 1973. The band are also working in the studio on new material, their first since the 1982 album, Avalon. Roxy Music were formed in 1971 by Ferry, Mackay, and Eno, with Manzanera joining the following year. Their first hit was 1972's Virginia Plain, with other hits including Street Life, Love is the Drug, and the 1981 John Lennon cover, Jealous Guy. Morrissey will also play on Saturday at the festival, while Supergrass and Idlewild have been confirmed for the Friday. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 07:51:40 -0800 (PST) From: Joel Hurd Subject: Re: [AVALON] When the whispers become official announcements / Eno > So we await official info on: > > c) That Eno is/is not involved It looks like Brian Eno is NOT involved in the (still great) RM news.

And four separate yet related reasons for celebration. 1) Finally received the Shivaree CD single with a cover of Fat Lady of Limbourg on track 1. 2) Got the new album by Damien Dempsey - Shots. Credits Brian Eno on guitar, keyboards and backing vocals. But, as ever, doesn't say on which tracks. Grrr! Does anyone know for sure? 3) My copy of More Music For Films also arrived. And contrary to Enoweb news, by which I normally swear, I bought items to B#19 and above and the delivery was 24 hrs. 4) Also received my copy of Perpetual Motion by Lola Perrin. The CD has been mentioned on this group and I have been fascinated by the very exclusivity of an album that is only available in one store in the world or through the management company. But not least by the fact that the last track is a cover of an unreleased piece by Brian Eno. The album is 33 minutes long and features 8 pieces of instrumental piano music. Tracks are entitled Track 1 through to Track 8. Confusion reigns because word had it that Track 8 (as it is here called) was a cover of an Eno piece called "Forced To Choose". But sure enough the front sleeve subtitles Perpetual Motion with the credit "New Piano Moods from Lola Perrin, Music by Lola Perrin and Brian Eno". While Track 8 does indeed share a credit between LP and BE, the sleeve notes that detail the recording and composition process give Brian Eno nary a reference. So I made contact with Lola Perrin's people (Reader, you have no idea how difficult this has been) and was pleased to get the following response: "After a handful of broadcast television compositions, Lola Perrin wrote in isolation for around 10 years before launching herself as a solo piano artist in Nov 2003. She recorded a demo CD of her seven part piano suite, b Perpetual Motionb, for the launch b produced in a three-hour recording session followed by a two-hour mastering session. Lola has no connection with Brian Eno except for his verbal permission to include an unreleased track of his, bForced to Chooseb, on her CD. At the time of printing the cover, the two artists agreed that Brian Enobs track would be referred to as bTrack 8b because he had not yet named the song. Lola Perrinbs arrangement added some composition not present in the original version, so on the cover a rather vague status attributes both Eno and Perrin as having copyright. However, Brian Eno is about to release new material that has arisen from bForced to Chooseb, so it has now been decided that the bForced to Chooseb (and the Perpetual Motion Track 8) copyright is owned by his publishing company, Opal. Her Perpetual Motion CD does not have a bar code and its copyright and contact information are now out of date. Perpetual Motion CD is evidently growing out of its original intention as a demo CD for promotion. A recent development is that Raybs Jazz in Foyles Bookshop now stock her CD; there is no distribution involved and space limitations means that the shop holds only 10 copies." The album itself is very attractive listening; it reminds me a little of early Windham Hill material (and I mean that as a compliment). Track 8 is solo piano (as is the whole album) and Lola is a dextrous exponent of the instrument. And there is a clear insistent melody to this piece which is almost five minutes long. It will be very interesting to see how Brian Eno's soon-to-be-released material treats the same piece. If you know how to get hold of a copy of this CD (either from Ray's Jazz store in Foyle's in London's Charing Cross Road or London Composers), it's a good investment if getting the premiere recording of an Eno composition is important to you - or just because you like the calm of having acoustic piano played well in your living space.

Allegedly with roots back to Visage, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode and Roxy , would there be any interest for a Roxy fan in catching up with their sound? As to the reunion, and Eno trying to oust Blair or his candidates!!! I would hope he could be tempted to get behind something which just perhaps may have a marginal chance of raising the public interest more than his political aspirations : and for our pleasure! If he comes back from the campaign trail with songs anew or the desire to hit the keyboard with a re-formed Roxy, I would take that also!
