[Review] Roxy Music (1972)

Roxy’s fashionable first defined the art-rock movement and featured a sense of high camp that belied the serious musical artistry underneath.

There was nothing plain vanilla about Roxy Music’s first, glamorous single.

Their surreal second album stands as perhaps both their brightest and darkest hour.

Ferry turns his revolutionary eye to rock & roll classics and performs them in his own particular, aagh, idiom.

The third album solidifies around Bryan Ferry’s romantic persona, mixing torch songs with compressed helium in a can.

The single from Roxy’s third was another shot of art-rock adrenalin that took Pyjamarama’s pyrexic pillowtalk to the streets.

A candybox of art-rock confections featuring members of Roxy Music, King Crimson and Sharks that reveals Eno to be a one-of-a-kind kook.

The man with the golden lips knocks off nine more covers and one brilliant original without breaking a sweat.

Blah, blah, blah… you’re not even reading this, are you?

Apparently, Eno was just getting warmed up on Jets. Once heard, this album will change your world.

An album that leans closer to the Eno side of his recent adventures, with members of Roxy Music and Quiet Sun.

A culmination of their commercial tendencies, and a lesson on the importance of leaving on a high note.

Siren’s second song for lovestruck, shipwrecked souls.

A collection of live performances through the years, siren songs of haunted dreams from the past.

Re-makes of Roxy songs make this his most appealing solo record to date, but the remodeled covers are equally rousing.
