Classic gag, classic mistake! Hence the classical album cover? Or perhaps it's referring to the homonyms Horse / Whores? The hotel Mamounia has also been mentioned once or twice as an influence, but Ferry most likely chose this name because of its romantic sound, like Avalon. The sound 'moon' returns on this album in Gemini Moon.

That 'right' is not in question, I'm sure. However, in the absence of new material from the maestro, and with the inexorable passage of time, it seems to me that both positive and negative feelings can become calcified into postures which then needlessly irritate their opposites. The friction comes when: Those who dislike something intensely let their disappointment/criticism eclipse their overall liking for the subject in general. and Those with a generally positive attitude become too sensitive to the repeated expression of dislike/disappointment by others, to the point where they say, in effect, 'shut up if you don't like it'. When this difference simmers over into rancour there is culpability on both sides. As fans, it seems we can easily lose perspective on our favorites, demanding perfection and getting into moods if there's something we don't like. But artists, if they are serious, have to please themselves first - we can either join the party or decline the invitation, but the artist doesn't owe us anything. If a record is not to our tastes, we merely sit this dance out. I'm as eager to hear new material as anyone, but the mere fact that Ferry and Roxy are still making new music, come when it may, is miracle enough for me. This is a band who split up with the perfect finale of an album in 1982 - who could ever have thought there'd be more? Ferry himself has changed music forever with Roxy, worked wonders with some of his solo records, tanked with others, but still strives seemingly every day of his life to deliver something more. His apparent inactivity is not idleness, there's much angst and agonising and brooding and hard work going on behind the scenes. There is no right or wrong pace of work for artists - force the pace and you distort the work. As for becoming too sensitive to the negative criticism of others - the best counterweight to negative criticism is positive criticism, admiration, celebration. Let naysayers see you having a ball, perhaps it'll remind them why they come here! It insults people to insist that they keep their negative criticisms out of the picture though. All that matters really is trying to maintain a broader perspective too. It's worth bearing in mind that this happens in all fan forums. I'm sure we've all seen it. As a regular visitor to the Doctor Who online forums, I find the kind of spats we've been seeing here very familiar! When such 'heated debates' (as Mrs. Merton used to call them) get going, you have to ask yourself this... would I get so angry and borderline abusive if I were having this conversation over a coffee with someone in person? Generally speaking, the answer is no. You then have to ask yourself what it is about sitting here at our computers, making imaginary war with each other over trivialities, that draws out our aggression and intolerance? The absence of any standard of social etiquette? Ferry fans in particular would surely be ashamed to think so! Don't misunderstand me, I'm not judging anyone, I'm recalling situations where I've done exactly the same. I just think it's a pity when bickering turns to rancour, with people threatening to leave the group or refusing to speak to one another. Can't we just start a campaign to get Roxy to do Hula Kula on their next tour?

I'll pursue. Maybe even go to Japan. for me, its the quintessentially Ferry album. When it came out I had no cd player so I bought it on MUSIC CASSETTE. ( Virgin did not have it on vinyl). Subsequentlly bought CD and later, the re-master, of course. All of these formats do not do justice to the artwork.

Just a thought - but what if Ferry covered Leonard Cohen? I'd love to hear this take on "Suzanne" or "Bird on a Wire". To me, Ferry growing older would be Ferry turning into the sort of world-weary, love-battered crooner that Cohen is. Beats the heck outta Dylan. Oh - Ferry does "Tower of Song" - I'm having an "ear-gasm" at the thought. Anybody else with me on this?
