As for the new new one - whilst I hope this will be good, I have always been slightly let down by his original solo albums somehow - again if he experiments more rather than trying to make everything perfect I think it will be good. As for the timing, the whole Roxy/Ferry promotional saga since around 2006 (new Roxy album, Dylanesque onwards) has in my opinion been a complete disaster for both the band and Ferry - the two are inexorably tied together and it was just a confused mess and full of such complete bullshit to boot. I spoke to a mate in the industry and we had a discussion about the whole saga - and he's instant thought that Ferry had taken Roxy for a ride but managed to cock up his own thing as well. As for the writer's block thing - that may have been the initial reason but I think it just became an excuse. For what its worth I don't think we'll see Roxy performing again and I don't think the album will see the light of day ever - unless someone nicks it from PM's hard drive. Not on an anti-Ferry rant because I think he is one of the most significant contributors to popular music this country has ever produced.

I want to hear Ferry's voice. Wouldn't be adverse to hearing him sing jazz though. Whilst I do LOVE Ferry's solo work, I do think Olympia was overworked, a bit samey and he tried to hard and messed about with it too much. In contrast I loved all the songs on Frantic the first time I heard it. He needs to keep it a bit simpler. Must admit my favourite album is still Boys and Girls. I disagree with your statement that Roxy won't play again. I think we will see them again. I can't see there being a new Roxy album though. > Subject: [AVALON] Ferry new albums - including an instrumental jazz one and a new new one in 2013 > From: richarde66@mac.com > Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 13:39:10 +0100 > To: avalon@smoe.org > > According to the Spanish press > > Here' is my post from JO'B's site > > Runs for cover > > I really liked parts of ATGB - Where or When is among the best things he's ever done so I think an instrumental 'jazz' album with a twist could be good - just hope it doesn't get too normalised - Ferry is at his best IMHO when he's slightly weirding it out. > > As for the new new one - whilst I hope this will be good, I have always been slightly let down by his original solo albums somehow - again if he experiments more rather than trying to make everything perfect I think it will be good. > > As for the timing, the whole Roxy/Ferry promotional saga since around 2006 (new Roxy album, Dylanesque onwards) has in my opinion been a complete disaster for both the band and Ferry - the two are inexorably tied together and it was just a confused mess and full of such complete bullshit to boot. > > I spoke to a mate in the industry and we had a discussion about the whole saga - and he's instant thought that Ferry had taken Roxy for a ride but managed to cock up his own thing as well. > > As for the writer's block thing - that may have been the initial reason but I think it just became an excuse. > > For what its worth I don't think we'll see Roxy performing again and I don't think the album will see the light of day ever - unless someone nicks it from PM's hard drive. > > Not on an anti-Ferry rant because I think he is one of the most significant contributors to popular music this country has ever produced. > > Richard > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:46:05 +0200 From: Andy Mol Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy Music Dortmund 201280 Thanks Ole, As if it where yesterday...
