Apologies if any one else mentioned this but...... Since the 70s, Eno has been revered as an ambient music pioneer and producer for David Bowie and U2. The rumour that he might be involved in the band's latest reunion - - which had previously been denied - was confirmed by Bryan Ferry at the Isle of Wight Festival, after Roxy Music played on Saturday. He said: "I hope he's going to come in and do some things on a few tracks. No live work, but on the record I hope he'll come and do something, yeah." full text... http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/news/20050613_roxy.shtml Regards, Duncan. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 05:13:31 EDT From: Go2Sweeney@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Eno now in?

Scrolling through my favourite Danish news provider online (BT), I happened upon this news article which claims that Brian Eno is meeting with other Roxy members to discuss the possibility of his working on the re-union studio album. A very late mistranslation of earlier rumours? Or cause for a glint in the eye of any Roxy fan who favours the first two albums over the remaining output (with the possible exception of Stranded) and thinks that this would be a good thing?

HEAR, HEAR!!! I too am embarassed to have a Miami Vice soundtrack in my CD rack. Friends see it and say, what's THAT??? I can't blame them... My "Oblique' suggestion : Bring out Jerry Hall to 'hoot and holler' during LST, stay on and dance during 'Prairie Rose'. After all she's always looking for gigs..... Maybe she could counteract the Can-Can girls by having the finalists of her reality show 'Kept' do a little Chippendales number behind her, which Bryan could be coaxed to join in to REALLY give the RoxyBabes what they want. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 11:01:14 EDT From: AMeyersLD@aol.com Subject: [AVALON] RE:Oblique Strategies the Touring Version > Three Words: > Polka!
