Roxy Music, More Than This 1982.

[via Wikipedia]

More Than This is the opening tune of Roxy Music's swam song's Avalon. My favourite Roxy Music album is so complex and elegant (that's the adjective always adhered to Brian Ferry). There is no Brian Eno, but Ferry himself played that parts. And so perfectly that it was the foundation of the sound of his Solo career.

[via amigo música]

Avalon is an amazing album that presents a band so mature that it fall from the tree too early (Fallen leaves in the night / Who can say where they´re blowing). And one last thing to point at: Manzanera's guitars lines! So many bright ideas in so concise parts.


Roxy Music - More than this

1982, Bryan Ferry del album Avalon "More than this". Roxy Music es un grupo de rock surgido en la primera mitad de los años 1970 que representa el movimiento glam en todo su caótico y ambiguo poder. La música de Roxy Music constituye una bizarra mezcla entre un pop irónico y la rebeldía tradicional del rock 'n' roll que se vio enriquecida por la teatral actividad de su vocalista Bryan Ferry, así como por las originales texturas del sintetizador de quien sería uno de los más rigurosos e innovadores pilares de la música actual...






Lyrics:
"More than this"

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
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like 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
More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing

Cuando se hace buena música, esta es siempre atemporal. Aún estando anclada en una época.

Era un rollo comecial venderles como elegantes. Sin duda su música suena suave... y elegante, pero ¿quién puede decir que el sonido es elegante? jeje.

Viajero, este disco es una maravilla... y muy elegante.
