Featuring: Roxy Music, New Order, The Breeders, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Lorde. (Plus the Taylor Swift review everybody's been waiting for)
Thanks for the fact check Marcus - I must have had some wires crossed when I was reading up on Roxy Music. I’ll update in the permanent version of the post. But as you say, Eno is a legend and I’m looking for every opportunity to appreciate his work!
Avalon is a solid album, a grand finale for Ferry. Brian Eno appears nowhere on the album. He had long since stopped providing “treatments” for Roxy Music, having parted ways with the band after For Your Pleasure. He played with Bowie on “Heroes”, Low and Lodger; he gets writing credit for several of the instrumentals on those albums (and for the song Heroes). And he produced some of Talking Heads’ finest albums. I think his influence is particularly notable on More Songs About Buildings and Food.
