is Ferry's alleged Toryness a big deal in England? It gets mentioned often.

yeah, he's been quite vocal on things in the past, including some stuff about the magnificence of fascist imagery and stuff like that. his son's been embroiled in a few schemey right-wing things too. it's the one thing that taints his music in my mind. although i did laugh about him reportedly bollocking his son for swearing when they survived an imminent plane accident.

I knew about his kids but didn't care either way. The line abut Albert Speer or Riefenstahl was dumber, but he 's a rocker and therefore a fool.

Bry's a big fan of country squire pursuits e.g. fox hunting, which pushes a lot of buttons for some people over here
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Friday, 30 May 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
it's not just the tory stuff although that is a very valid stick to beat him with. his voice is unlistenable and what i've heard of roxy music is terrible as well
― lex pretend, Friday, 30 May 2014 15:29 (ten years ago) link
yes, there's also the "unlistenable" nature of Roxy Music, as lex has scientifically proven in his post above
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Friday, 30 May 2014 15:32 (ten years ago) link
being serious, Lex have you heard Avalon, their final record? It might be more palatable than their earlier art rock stuff.
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Friday, 30 May 2014 15:37 (ten years ago) link
^ good point. i can understand you not liking things like Street Life, but the Avalon album is totally pleasant and wonderful.

I don't particularly like Roxy Music either and Ferry was the second most-talented person called Bryan/Brian in the band, and come on no one cares about Bryan Ferry solo, and his voice is usually this dreary instrument, but the Johnny & Mary cover is actually quite affecting. A lot of it is down to the arrangement, but Ferry doesn't croon as much as he usually does.
― Matt DC, Friday, 30 May 2014 16:37 (ten years ago) link
You can slate Ferry's voice but I'd never describe it as dreary. One of the most dynamic and idiosyncratic styles in rock, if say. Anyway never mind.

this might have been mentioned somewhere on this long thread but... i was talking to my norwegian friend abt todd terje & he was saying how the guy who runs the state radio station had refused to play terje's stuff because it 'sounds like beach bar music'. thats when he went & put out 'strandbar' (which means beach bar in norwegian)

Every time I listen to this album I like it less and less, I think that if I didn't know Strandbar/Inspector Norse before listening to it I would probably have given up on it by four tracks in and filed it alongside the Aeroplane album.

Inspector Norse is the only song that still seems separate from the rest album to me. The rest of it flows really well and works as a whole. It's been the perfect soundtrack to some long walks in the sun recently and even though there's been some other albums I've enjoyed a lot this year, this is still by far my favourite.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 03:21 (nine years ago) link
i actually find i like it more and more, i've really gotten quite fond of it as a whole
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:32 (nine years ago) link
I like it a lot as a whole, but also I threw about the half the tracks into a playlist with a bunch of other stuff, and they all sound great on their own too. Actually helps to hear them in isolation.

finally heard this played out at a party this weekend; I was standing outside since it was ungodly hot on the floor, but as soon as it started happening I bolted back inside. VERY glad I did, this song is ridiculously fun to dance to.

wild how this thread came out repping for the relatively underwhelming snooze 4 love, which came out right before his true anthem & classic inspector norse

"Snooze" has def grown on me. Almost everything he's done since has been an immediate sugar rush.

it was premature, obv 'inspector norse' is the actual masterpiece, snooze 4 love is a middling house record in comparison
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Wednesday, 20 August 2014 17:21 (nine years ago) link
I think we can say Terje has/had more than one masterpiece in him.
