So you may not get this :) I'm certainly sad that there is STILL no fragrance. On the other hand, Roxy and Mr Mackay are also in a recent press release: 'Post-punk greats the Pop Group have announced a reissue of We Are Time, a 1980 collection of early live and studio recordings. They're also putting out Cabinet of Curiosities, a new compilation of rarities. Both are out October 21 via Freaks R Us (an imprint of Kartel/Amped). More reissues of the group's back catalogue will follow in the future. The band are also offering a limited supply of exclusive memorabilia via PledgeMusic with surplus proceeds going to Campaign Against Arms Trade. Info will be available on the Pop Group's Facebook and Twitter. Frontman Mark Stewart and guitarist Gareth Sager discussed We Are Time in a press release. Stewart: bThe Pop Group was mutating so fast right from the start that it was crucial to document those first experiments with this compilation. We Are Time is really btheb teenage Pop Group album. Itbs full of defiance and the material demonstrates the band's staunch independence and our really early DIY ethic before the studio became another instrument.b >Sager: b[We were] trying in an inexplicably naive manner to combine Patti Smithbs Rimbaud ramblings, James Brown, the Stooges, Roxy Music, T. Rex and classical aleatoric music. You can hear the results of this on tracks bGenius Or Lunatic,b bColour Blind,b bTrap,b bSense Of Purpose,b bKiss The Bookb and bWe Are Time. ... Soon after this the band were bringing in other influences, Ornette Coleman, King Tubby, Funkadelic, Debussy, Jacques Brel, Fela Kuti, Steve Reich and then you get bThief of Fire.bb Cabinet of Curiosities features a version of "She Is Beyond Good and Evil" produced by Roxy Music's Andy Mackay. It also features BBC John Peel session tracks and a few unreleased songs. This fall, the Pop Group will embark on a UK tour, performing We Are Time in full. Dates below. St. Vincent has been known to cover "She Is Beyond Good and Evil" at her shows.' Lee S Displacement activity a problem?

"Ferrys album Avonmore arrives in November, overflowing with passionate but unfulfilled longing. Songs like the sleek Driving Me Wild and tender A Special Kind of Guy are populated by characters searching for love that remains elusive. The low, percolating funk of One Night Stand describes a fling that isnt enough. It seems these poor souls may never find happiness." http://entertainment.suntimes.com/entertainment-news/bryan-ferry-talks-bowie- museum-contemporary-art/ > From: tracyep@hotmail.com > To: avalon@smoe.org > CC: johnobrien001@aol.com > Subject: RE: [AVALON] BF Announcement > Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2014 22:19:19 +0000 > > Not sure if this announcement will be this, but I found out in Dublin that the > new album would be due in October plus a UK tour in May 2015. > > > Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2014 15:00:13 +0100 > > Subject: Re: [AVALON] BF Announcement > > From: bahi.para@gmail.com > > To: avalon@smoe.org > > CC: JohnOBrien001@aol.com > > > > On 16 September 2014 14:29, John O'Brien wrote: > > > > > What's this?? > > > > > > http://www.vivaroxymusic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2234 > > > J.O'B. > > > > > > > b You're asking us?b > > > > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > > To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V15 #846 ***************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
