There could NEVER be another Roxy Music. More so than ANY other band. .. Just one 5star album after another, and all completely different than the one before. High Art indeed.
Roxy Music's first five albums are as good as any other bands best five album run. Stellar songs throughout!
Next song "Editions of You" has the best synth solo in music history, recorded almost 50 years ago that solo still sounds today like a time traveler brought it back to us from the future!!
One of Roxy's best rivals at the time was Cockney Rebel. You MUST have a go at ''Death Trip'' I guarantee, you will be blown away. THE greatest 10 minutes in Avant/Alt, Prog/Glam history!
Nice review. You're right, we need more bands and music today like Roxy Music. They were so unique when they first came out. But I also love Avalon, so smooth and sophisticated. I don't have Stranded, so don't really know this song. But I did enjoy it, simple and direct.
Stranded is a thousand times better than Avalon.
Beautiful song. Like others said before, I didn't remember this song too, but I loved it. I'd suggest Do The Strand, if you didn't listen to it yet. Another fantastic song from early Roxy Music. And totally different.
I think it is 98% an ode to the sun/ sunset and a bit about death. It’s very poetic, the lyrics are lovely. A fantastic LP all the way through. Probably my favourite is Just Like You, but any track on this LP is great.
Following on about the death angle above, this could be seen as following Strictly Confidential, from the LP before (for your pleasure) which covers the same time of day. Evening going to night, potentially staying alive and getting to the morning. Strictly confidential is darker and can be interpreted as the evening someone committed suicide and or just made it through to the morning and did not commit suicide. Sunset is definitely more settled mentally. But has that air of peaceful resigned ending. Don’t let this put you off listening to strictly confidential though. The first lyric is “before I die I write this letter” it’s a quiet song, with Phil Manzanera ripping a solo practically the whole way through.
Thanks. I like Roxy Music a lot, but I never heard that one. You might listen to Song for Europe which is also very piano driven. It is also from the Stranded album.
Got this album after hearing Mother of Pearl and it's a beauty. This is a fantastic ending track. Here's a suggestion Greg - if you want to do another deep dive like you did with Ziggy Stardust, how about picking an early Roxy Music album?
Great to see you doing Roxy Music again, Avalon as far as I was concerned was the end of Roxy. The irony of which of course is that a world wide commercial success is what a band wants but Roxy split up after Avalon and as a fan from day one and all those I knew we were really let down by it, like they had sold us old. As for requesting Roxy songs I had actually asked you to check out "Editions of You" which you may have heard. As I said great to see you getting into Roxy Music again learning to appreciate them by the way did you read my comments on "Dream Home Heartache", that's the story I heard when it came out
Eno was replaced by Eddie Jobson later of Frank Zappa and UK(probably Eddie on piano).
The piano on Sunset is by Bryan Ferry.
I preferred the earlier experimental sounds with Eno...
Cool.
Eno had little to do with the experimental side of Roxy Music. Bryan Ferry wrote all the songs and governed the direction of the band.
@@lashedbutnotleashed1984 i continue to much prefer the first two LPs.
The whole album, "Sranded", is a classic. There isn't a weak track on it. Their first 3 albums, with Brian Eno, were fantastic, and Stranded was the most fantastic. After Eno left, the band, under Ferry's guidance, became a more singles oriented band. Much of their artistic merit was sacrificed to commercialism. Just my opinion. I sort of fell out with Roxy Music after Brian Eno left. Eno went on to prove, with his solo and collaborative work, he was the real artist in the band. Eno was still with the band during the recording of much of this album. He left before it was completed, but his influence pervades much of the production.
Eno was only on the first 2 albums.
“Roxy Music really was Bryan’s band, it was his vision … The whole construction was his in conception…It wouldn’t have been as interesting a band if I’d have been able to co-opt to go in my direction...” #BrianEno
“Eno loved doing interviews…And I sometimes thought that maybe he was taking credit - not wholly intentionally - for some of the things that I was doing. I didn’t want to be perceived as just the singer. I had written, and was the primary arranger of, the songs on the records. I felt that I was the main architect of everything, and I didn’t want to let go of that recognition. It was important to me. It was all I had. I was very proud of it, and I wasn’t very good at sharing..” #BryanFerry
“What’s interesting about Roxy is that most people in bands don’t do solo albums until they’ve been together for years. We all started doing solo albums almost immediately. We always had our own agenda, and as long as there was enough common ground we stayed together..” #AndyMacKay
“Roxy Music, for all the trappings of deluxe glittery-glam, was inhabiting a far more conceptual place at this time than most bands of their time - or any time, for that matter.” #JulianCope
“These guys make no secret of having a strange idea of a good time, but this isn't decadent, it's ridiculous. Side one surrounds two pained, strained torch jobs with two classic neo-rockers and finishes with a song about an inflatable sex doll that's almost not stupid (title: "In Every Dream Home a Heartache"). Side two surrounds a fast fast one with two long mostly instrumental slow ones that are almost not boring. Verdict: almost not not bad.
Pretty sure eno left before Stranded
Think it's Eddie Jobson
@@stephentatterton4766 you're referring to.. For your pleasure. This track is on Stranded.
Eno was not on Stranded. He left right after For Your Pleasure. Roxy was always under Bryan Ferry's guidance and influence. Eno never wrote a single song with Roxy Music. The band always belonged to Ferry. Interestingly, Eno thought Stranded was Roxy's best album, even though he had nothing to do with it. Eno's influence on Stranded is exactly ZERO.
