^ Seconded! I doubt I'll be able to snag an album tomorrow, cds are always way more expensive at gigs.

two in one www.sendspace.com/file/jwynq4 "The self-titled first Roxy Music album opens with what seems to be a ambient recording from a cafe--glasses clinking, low talking, and so on. It sets up a mood of casual elegance that the band explored throughout their career, from sophisticated glamour all the way through decadence. The first song, "Re-Make/Re-Model" becomes, after the cafe introduction, apunchy rock track that mixes an insistent rhythm section, Andrew Mackay's saxophone playing, and Bryan Ferry's unmistakable voice into a cultured warble (the song's "chorus", by the way, is "CPL 593H", the licence plate number of a car). Roxy Music's early work is a strange hybrid of glam rock, cocktail jazz, and English music hall. The band has a joke at the expense of each, and is clearly enjoying themselves. Other standouts include the classics "Virginia Plain" and "2HB". The first was the band's first single and arguably the most successful song from their early period, with catchy lyrics, a fabulous bridge section, and a beat you can dance to.The second is a ballad inspired by the film CASABLANCA featuring a bubbling synthesizer and saxophone under Ferry's "Here's looking at you, kid" chorus. This is a must-own."  "From the idiosyncratic art rock of their self-titled debut to the seductive pop of albums like AVALON, Roxy Music covered a lot of ground, but COUNTRY LIFE, which falls somewhere in between, synthesizes all of their strengths. Singer BryanFerry's vision of sophisticated, "gentleman" rock emerges on this release, yet the strident, driving quality crucial tothe band's early sound still looms large. The combination of textures is exhilarating, and the songwriting--which drawson elements of R&B, cabaret music, and glam rock--is among the band's best. Standouts include "Bitter-Sweet", a clear homage to the bombast and fading glory of German cabaret music, and the work of Kurt Weill in particular, and "Casanova", a dense funk track carried along on a complex bass line and a wavering synthesizer. The album's last track, "PrairieRose", leads off with a heavily echoed guitar solo, and features some of Andrew Mackay's most expressive saxophone playing. Everything from the famously controversial cover art (which depicts two very scantily clad models) to the varied, often spectacular music within, marks COUNTRY LIFE as unique.It is one of the finest moments in the band's impressive catalogue." |

www.sendspace.com/file/yonnup As promised to The Fox heres Bowie's Lodger. I would upload the other Berlin/Eno albums but I have them on proper CD's and I can't work out how to save them to my computer cos when I stick them in you get that annoying "bowie net" stuff.

Yay! I CAN BE LAZY!! Also, if anyone has any Fionn Regan, or To My Boy, or Bob Marley, or Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - SHARING WOULD BE APPRECIATED. (I spent all my remaining money on movies and Chinese food.  ) P.S. OR DAMIEN MARLEY'S WELCOME TO JAMROCK. THAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL. But I highly doubt anyone has that... I just saw this. I'll put some CD's on the computer so I can upload them for youuu. I was inspired to put this up my a msn conversation with The Penrose and The Jarvis. One of my favourite albums ever, but I'm not sure if its just because I identify with it so much in some really twisted sort of way. It captures my childhood demons in musical form. Some of the music on here is downright terrifying yet it still has a big bubblegum noise pop side to it. You might recognise early nineties indie disco fave Love Your Money. My favourite songs are Pink Flower and I Hope All Your Dreams Come True Daisy Chainsaw Eleventeen www.sendspace.com/file/3bqri1I'm so happy you put this up, it's one of those albums I've listened to consistently since I was about 13. Everyone should here it. I'm going to put up Drink Me in a bit I reckon.. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR MONEY. I have mentioned it before but I once witnessed Katie Jane Garside fall off a chair. |
