The problem is surely is the same as it has been since the "Roxy to split" headlines from 1974. Bryan Ferry, controlling, over protective of output and content. I did think he had got over this with the release of Frantic which contained both the densely produced self penned songs, plus the almost "live" Dylan covers, which seemed to me, throwaway tracks. I have said before that Hirishima/San Simeon/I Thought triptych could/should have been the core of a new Roxy album, brilliant songs lost on an album of patchy work. I feel the "never ending tour" is just a cash cow for Ferry as he heads for old age of private gentlemens clubs and Country Life. Assuming hired musicians get less of a share than group members of the profits. Terry 'O'. ` Ro, They're not in a coma, just waiting for the 10th anniversary of the 2001 reunion tour to get back together! But seriuosly for a 'band' who hasn't put out any new material in years clearly shows there's some kind of personal tension. I don't buy the writers block crap.
