[Martin ] Re: [AVALON] Olympia Credits - Colin Good? [Richard Evans ] Re: [AVALON] Olympia Credits - Colin Good? ["fvelsink@tele2.nl" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Olympia Credits - Colin Good? As ever I follow the threads on Avalonia with a mixture of bewilderment and despair. It's a parallel universe with Old Grey Whistle Test on an old telly in the corner and a copy of Sounds lying on the occasional table. 2010. We have Roxy Music playing European festivals. Like a tribute act playing a set of numbers - albeit brilliant clever songs - to the new social generation. The act is known / adored by a small proportion of the audience. Occasional moments of theatrical glamour are provided by the handsome singer and the odd moment of colourful staging that he's choreographed. 2010. Bryan Ferry is about to release a new album. A single is available now with 5 iterations, 5 remodels, ... It's modern, a new sensation and very possibly a danceable solution to the facebook revolution. The musicians credited with playing on the album are galacticos of the modern and pre-modern era. The song titles intrigue and capture the timeless Ferry zeitgeist - yearning, the search for perfection, (his own predilection,) romanticism and doubt. Olympia, and the sweet agony of counting down the days till it's release, is as thrilling as the Roxy quasi reunion is enervating. And yet I read in these pages people seriously stating that they aren't interested in hearing Olympia because the original Roxy drummer isn't thumping his bass pedal on the album. It beggars belief.

Er no Martin that wasn't it at all. It is the hype over a Roxy reunion on this album when it plainly isn't. I shall buy it irrespective of the drummers who bang their big bass drums Should have gone to Specsavers?

Subject: [AVALON] Re: Old & New I haven't posted in a while but still read comments. --Has anyone here seen the movie "The Walker" Ferry does the song for the movie & through out the movie you hear his songs. Its a 2007 movie very good. So good to watch a movie & hear so many of Ferry & Roxy music. Then when the credits roll there is their names & songs. ---I'm finding it more & more difficult finding Ferry & Roxy in the music stores. Here in the US they seem to cater to what is popular & sells really well. When there isn't things to be put on the shelf's they pull the artist name off. I then have to ask them to pull it up on the computer. Only to be told we don't carry it anymore You need to order it on line,---That is my concern just being able to purchase it . I think you people in England are lucky to have access to the man & his music no matter how old or how new it is. We across the pond just salivate wishing & longing.
