      I went to see them at the O2 in London last October. Those 41 years rolled away like Avalon mist on a summer's day, and there I was watching Bryan Ferry sing More Than This. What an amazing experience, never thought it would happen. I've seen Genesis and Elton and Peter Gabriel in the last year or so and you know, it's just possible Roxy was the best, in their understated way.

      Please, I was 17 and dancing the night away in Barons nightclub. The 80’s was the greatest period for New Romantics and boy were Roxy music at the top of their game. I just wished there was a revival of that era. Such a great time for us kids born in the mid 60;s to early 70’s. TrueType was the happiest time of my life.

    Bryan Ferry is the only Englishman more suave than James Bond. 😊 I cannot recommend enough his song, "Slave To Love" from Bryan Ferry's highly successful solo album, 'Boys and Girls'. And it's fair to say there is as much melancholy and yearning in his music as there is romance. Btw, he just celebrated his 78th birthday. 🎉

      The film 'Skyfall' implies that Bond is Scottish.
      Not that it matters.
      David Niven was called "archetypically English". But he had a Scottish name and was born in Scotland to a Scottish father and a French mother.
      Then again there is Ian Anderson.

    My fave from Roxy. Bryan Ferry's voice was accompanied by female Haitian vocalist, Yanick Étienne, who registered in the higher notes during the verse and chorus. On the chorus, Fonzi Thornton, who worked with many artists, also sang backing vocals on the chorus. Just listen carefully to " . . while the sea on the tide . . " and you will hear Yanick's voice. Once you hear her and anchor your ear, you can hear her singing behind him with a lot of reverb and delay. So, it's not Bryan doing the falsetto, he's singing in the mid ranges throughout. Bryan did this on quite a few albums, where his voice was "shadowed" by a female. Bob Clearmountain's mixing is elegant.

    You guys have done the (admittedly awesome) smooth side of Roxy Music. You would definitely dig their more rocking side, too- instances where drummer Paul Thompson and guitarist Phil Manzanera have a chance to flex their musicianly muscles- "Street Life", "Editions Of You", "The Thrill Of It All", "Mother Of Pearl", "Love Is The Drug", "Virginia Plain, "Beauty Queen", "Grey Lagoons", etc.
    Both sides of the band were major influences on the new wave/ "new romantic" bands that came out of the UK in the early 80s. And yeah, they don't come any smoother than Roxy vocalist Bryan Ferry (who has had a pretty extensive solo career as well).

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    I could feel at the time
    There was no way of knowing
    Fallen leaves in the night
    Who can say where they're blowing?
    As free as the wind
    Hopefully learning
    Why the sea on the tide
    Has no way of turning
    [Chorus]
    More than this
    You know there's nothing
    More than this
    Tell me one thing
    More than this
    Ooh, there's nothing
    [Verse 2]
    It was fun for a while
    There was no way of knowing
    Like a dream in the night
    Who can say where we're going?
    No care in the world
    Maybe I'm learning
    Why the sea on the tide
    Has no way of turning
    [Chorus]
    More than this
    You know there's nothing
    More than this
    Tell me one thing
    More than this
    No, there's nothing
    More than this
    Nothing
    More than this
    More than this
    Nothing

    Bryan Ferry has a voice that can do what no other singer's can and that's to make you cry because you want to go to that world where the voice comes from, a world of complete peace and love, but you know you never can. I think that's especially true for the his song Zamba. His voice is so soft an airy yet so full of emotion. Yes Roxy Music has some different styles. The earlier albums influenced the punk and new wave genres, the later are more of what you heard here with Ferry's silky voice. Biggest Hits Roxy Music: Virginia Plain, Love Is The Drug, My Only Love, Dance Away, Oh Yeah. Bryan Ferry: Let's Stick Together, Slave To Love, Don't Stop The Dance.

    Oh, I looooove this song! OK, in fairness, I love a lot of Roxy Music's songs. 😄 But this one in particular brings back memories. I'd just finished college, didn't know what I was going to do with my life, wasn't in a relationship, and well, just felt a little frantic inside. My family and I were in Maine that summer and I remember listening to a mixed tape on my Walkman as I walked along the beach. I walked out to the end of jetty and sat down on the rocks to watch the ocean do it's thing. And this song came on. It's one of those times in life where you just feel all your senses connecting to the moment at hand and a calm waves over you as gently as Ferry's voice is in this song. I just got this incredible sense that things were going to come together and be OK if I just accepted what came my way. I'll never forget that. They did, happily, and even now, LOTS of years later, this song brings back that very special moment in my life and takes me there again. Thank you for this lovely journey of rememberance. ❤

    The early Roxy albums are nothing like the later ones. Between ' Manifesto ' and ' Flesh and Blood ' it was as if they changed to Roxy 2.0 They later ones are good , but .......... the first 3 albums were extraordinary , experimental and unique works of art. Most people who have only heard the hits off Avalon and Flesh and Blood would be shocked by the original Roxy.

  • @christopherecatalano
    @christopherecatalano 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    One of the most perfect and beautiful albums ever recorded, as were Ferry's immediate follow up records. Darkly lit, endlessly sad and romantic. Phil Manzanera's lovely, melancholic little five note solo/goodbye lick (around 5:44, your video time) breaks my heart every time I hear it. So many guitarists could benefit from studying how much emotion and musicality can be expressed in so few notes. Slick record for sure, but I think it is deeper than that. Listening to the entire Avalon album is like tripping through a street-lit night just as dusk is breaking into something darker and anticipating meeting the love of your life. I have a lot of favourite albums, but Avalon is the one that always makes me fall in love with the city again, even with all of its enthralling illusions and broken promises.

    I've loved this great song since the video first hit MTV. Here is my parody of it, entitled "Mormon Bris":
    I concealed at the time
    That the moyl was a Mormon
    Failing plans, nothing right
    Couldn't find cousin Norman
    At three it transpired
    Well, close to two-ish
    But the moyl that we hired
    Was not even Jewish
    Mormon bris, you know we're having
    Mormon bris, faulty planning
    Mormon bris, ooh farklempting
    It went fine all the while
    This un-kosher incision
    Not a seam out of line
    Though against our religion
    Don't care anymore
    Moyl is a Mormon
    Circumcision with style
    That dazzled the doorman
    Mormon bris, almost misfortune
    Mormon bris, errant foreskin
    Mormon bris, just don't tell them
    Mormon bris, bluff this
    Mormon bris

    You should check out some Roxy Music from the early 70's. It's a uniquely different sound. This is from the 80's and it has a more contemporary and smooth sound compared to their earlier music. A few suggestions: Ladytron, Beauty queen, Amazona, The thrill of it all, Love is the drug, Both ends burning and...Re make Re model if you dare! There are many more greats, but these will give you an overall impression of their original sound from 1972-1975. The lead singer, Bryan Ferry also has an extensive solo career. Definitely worth checking that out as well.

One of their tunes is about an inflatable sex doll! Their first four albums were ground breaking. They changed rock/pop music. As a good example is the track “Mother of Pearl”.
