Yes, it's a Roxy recording that doesn't get mentioned much. I have them all, but never looked to see the line-up, so naively assumed Eno played on all their recordings.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony
My favourite Roxy album changes with the weather. Today it's this one. Eno had left by then, with Eddie Jobson doing the keyboard stuff. Nothing wrong with that.

Brian Eno was only with Roxy Music for their first two albums, then it was Eddie Jobson for Stranded, Country Life and Siren.
Speaking of country life, this on next:
Cover a slight departure from their earlier efforts. About as arty as a slap in the face with a wet fish. Though no doubt appealed to teenage boys, myself includedMusically it's ok, but not a patch on Stranded imo.

It appealed to me as a 'twenty something'. Though to be honest, apart from their last LP, all of Roxy's record sleeve artwork is sexist.

Super album that, and I bet your giant speakers love the bass
Anyway, on to this, the eighth and final Roxy studio album - I've skipped past Flesh+Blood and Manifesto as I was never that keen. As Barry points out, the only album cover that couldn't be deemed 'sexist' though there is a bird on it

House to myself (apart from the dog, and he doesn't mind) so this one has to be loud. Not many albums I really have to play loud, but this is one of them.
Gary Numan - Savage (Songs from a Broken World) - (2017)
Saw the lead single My Name is Ruin with daughter Persia on the Old Grey Whistle Test special back in 2018 - awesome! (Plus a bonus Are Friend's Electric? performance.)

I used to have that CD, but found it quite indifferent - plus the totally unnecessary DVD-size case meant it was difficult to file away. I never was much of a Gary Numan fan, I even got rid of 'The Pleasure Principle'.

As debut albums go, this was a pretty good one.
25 years ago - where did that quarter of a century disappear to?
