Roxy Music - Country
Life (Remastered)
£5.49
Continuing with the stylistic developments of Stranded, Country Life finds Roxy Music at the peak of their powers, alternating between majestic, unsettling art rock & glamorous, elegant pop/rock. At their best, Roxy combine these two extremes, like on the exhilarating opener " The Thrill of It All, but Country Life benefits considerably from the ebb & flow of the group's two extremes, since it showcases their deft instrumental execution & their textured, enthralling songwriting. &, in ma ...

Roxy Music - Flesh &
Blood (Remastered)
£5.49
An even slicker record than Manifesto, Flesh + Blood precariously balances between sophisticated soul-pop & radio-ready disco-pop. At its best, the album is effortlessly suave & charming -- " Over You" is one of their greatest singles, & " Oh Yeah" is nearly as persuasive -- although the reliance on reworked covers of " In the Midnight Hour" & " Eight Miles High" signals a lack of imagination. Still, there is a handful of undeniably strong & alluringly seductive moments. ~ Stephen Thomas E ...

Roxy Music - For Your
Pleasure (Remastered)
£5.49
On Roxy Music's debut, the tensions between Brian Eno & Bryan Ferry propelled their music to great, unexpected heights, & for most of the group's second album, For Your Pleasure, the band equals, if not surpasses, those expectations. However, there are a handful of moments where those tensions become unbearable, as when Eno wants to move toward texture & Ferry wants to stay in more conventional rock territory; the nine-minute " The Bogus Man" captures such creative tensions perfectly, & i ...

Roxy Music - Heart
Still Beating
(Remastered)
£5.49
Recorded live in France in 1982 but not released on CD in the U.S. until 1990, Heart Still Beating isn't quite in a class with Roxy Music's first live album, Viva, but nonetheless gives us a lot to be excited about. Lead singer Bryan Ferry & guitarist Phil Manzanera sound quite inspired much of the time, & Manzanera delivers some excellent solos. Longtime Roxy devotees will want to savor engaging versions of " Out of the Blue" & " Both Ends Burning" (both of which were heard on Viva), as wel ...

Roxy Music -
Manifesto (Remastered)
£5.49
Returning to action after four years of solo projects, Roxy Music redefined its sound & agenda on Manifesto. More than ever, Roxy sounds like Bryan Ferry's backing b&, as the group strips away its art rock influences, edits out the instrumental interludes in favor of concise pop songs, & adds layers of stylish disco rhythms. Although the songwriting is distressingly inconsistent, there are a number of wonderful moments on the record, particularly in the sighing " Angel Eyes" & the heartbr ...

Roxy Music -
Siren (Remastered)
£5.99
Abandoning the intoxicating blend of art rock & glam-pop that distinguished Stranded & Country Life, Roxy Music concentrates on Bryan Ferry's suave, charming crooner persona for the elegantly modern Siren. As the disco-fied opener " Love Is the Drug" makes clear, Roxy embraces dance & unabashed pop on Siren, weaving them into their sleek, arty sound. It does come at the expense of their artier inclinations, which is part of what distinguished Roxy, but the end result is captivating. Lacking ...

Roxy Music -
Stranded (Remastered)
£5.49
Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less experimental, yet it remained adventurous, as Stranded illustrates. Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy moved toward relatively straightforward territory, adding greater layers of piano & heavy guitars. Even without the washes of Eno's synthesizers, Roxy's music remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new incarnation, they favor more measured material, whether it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting textures of " Psa ...

Roy Orbison - Black &
White Night
£6.99
In 1987, Roy Orbison was on the upswing of one of the most amazing comebacks of all time. His re-recorded version of his classic ' In Dreams' had appeared in David Lynch's film Blue Velvet & he was about to record both with The Traveling Wilburys & his swansong album Mystery Girl. To capture this resurgence, producer T Bone Burnett put together an all-star backing band made up of none other than the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, K.D. Lang, Jackson Browne & Tom Wa ...

Roy Orbison - Black &
White Night/ Crying
£8.99
This is a truly, bizarre two-fer package that combines Roy Orbison's early hit album Crying with the soundtrack to the TV Special Black & White Night. The only conceivable reason is, perhaps, that on the latter recording, Orbison re-recorded the title track & " Candy Man." They were included on the special as a career-spanning look at his collection of smashes played by an all-star cast of musicians including Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, & k.d. lang. Weird.
