Incredible! Awesome! I'd like to say I can't wait, but being a Ferry fan, obviously I can! (-; I've been away on vacation also, just caught up with some recent posts, and I just wanted to offer that Joel Hurd and Michiel van Sleen made me laugh out loud with their comments and fake tracklistings regarding the [inevitable] next compilation album. I was so amused that I even came up with some of my own to add, and I have not posted in over a year. But I kept reading first, and I just wanted to say that I can't BELIEVE a couple of you nice gents got riled up with them for joking and grousing about yet another compilation. Where else but a fanlist can we do so, when we are among friends? No one on this list loves BF or his talent any less because his record company is cashing in....as cor rather exhaustively pointed out, Ferry's existing creative output stands on its own merits, and this is what record companies do. But Michiel's and Joel's responses were clearly tongue-in-cheek. I do think when someone goes so far as to say 'Ban him', 'shut up', 'Let all those negative people go to the 'Middle of the road' or some else mailinglist' [sic] or even to add "I agree with that" they should think about the fact that a discussion group comprised of true fans is ENLIVENED by those who have something to say.

This used to be a fabulous list. Vibrant, entertaining. Different views, mostly respected in good spirit by fellow fans. These days it's very sterile indeed. Participating in a constructive debate is an enjoyable thing - but not on here where those who dare criticise are met with a combination of arrogance, condescension, exclusion and even calls for them to be banned. "He blasphemed against the great Fez, stone him". No wonder any decent debate is a non starter, but the list is a poorer place for that. This is a discussion group not a policed information service. It beggars belief that there are those on here who would ban someone on the grounds of poking fun at Ferrys lack of output. Bryan Ferry was my absolute hero from the age of 15. A collage of his pics adorned my bedroom wall, I spent money to follow him when I didn't have much money. I used to look through mags and newspapers before the internet hoping to see any news on him. He's been a huge influence on my life. So I'm entitled to a view. And that view is that given his level of talent his career has latterly been a huge disappointment to me. "Stone him, blasphemer". Sure he doesn't owe me anything, and I'm grateful to him for the pleasure he has brought me. But artistically I don't believe he reached his potential latterly. Since Bete Noire. Quality and quantity disappointing. I wish he had, because I felt (and still do) there is a lot more to Bryan Ferry than we have seen for a while.
