[Tracy Connell Subject: RE: [AVALON] Olympia Credits - Colin Good? Roxy reunion? This album is released as a Bryan Ferry solo album??!! Yeah there may be one or two of the Roxy musicians on it here and there. Yes there is a Roxy Tour, but that doesn't mean the whole of Roxy are playing on this album - then it would be a Roxy Music album. Every time Bryan releases something there are certain people who will do nothing but moan, and tbh I don't see the problem here since it is a BRYAN FERRY album!! What's he gotta do to please people eh? > From: richarde66@mac.com > To: martinstockman@btinternet.com > Subject: Re: [AVALON] Olympia Credits - Colin Good? > Date: Sat, 4 Sep 2010 10:04:34 +0100 > CC: kwil632057@aol.com; tracyep@hotmail.com; avalon@smoe.org > > 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? > > Richard Evans > > On 4 Sep 2010, at 09:00, Martin wrote: > > > As ever I follow the threads on Avalonia with a mixture of bewilderment and despair.

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.
