Olympia - The New Bryan Ferry Album 1st July 2010

Bryan Ferry  has said in an interiew in this month's Q Magazine that his new album is to be called 'Olympia'
The album features Roxy Music cohorts Andy Mackay Phil Manzanera & Brian Eno. According to Ferry they only play the odd bit here and there but were all in the same room. He says he toyed with the idea of a new Roxy album but went solo instead. He also says that Andy and Phil are at the top of their game these days. Other musicians include regulars Ollie Thompson, Dave Gilmour and Marcus Miller.  Primal Scream's Mani and Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers also appear on the album.

The single from the album will be' You Can Dance.' The version for the album is a completely different version from the mix released by DJ Hell. The new version is more rock and less dance orientated.

During a visit to Bryan Ferry's studio in May I had the privilege of hearing the material proposed for Bryan's 13th solo album. The material proposed contains 8 Ferry originals and 2 covers and is sounding like Bryan is on form with what could be one of his best solo albums. There will be 3 extra tracks on the deluxe version of this his 13th solo album. All I can say at this stage is that Bryan is on form and the album is sounding good. 'Olympia' is due out in September.

16th October 2009     ROXY MUSIC DVD Release

The story of Roxy Music DVD 'More Than This will be released this Monday (19th October) and in USA on Tuesday 20th October. Most UK fans will have seen the main feature when it was broadcast on BBC4 in September 2008. The 1 hour piece is a fascinating documentary about the band, its origins and influences on modern music. Willing interviewees included Bono (U2), John Taylor (Duran Duran) Alison Goldfrapp, Martin Ware (Heaven 17), Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) Souixsie Souix) as well as exclusive interviews with band members Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera, Paul Thompson, Brian Eno, Eddie Jobson.  This feature also teases with some footage of the Roxy Music sessions for the 9th Roxy Music album.

The DVD includes 30 minutes of extra material that has never been broadcast. The extras include a 15 minute discussion on the making of the album sleeves . Nick de Ville and Antony Price contribute many recollections of the album shoots showing some unseen out takes from the album sessions.

The extras also include a piece on Eddie Jobson, an extension of the section in the main feature interviewing Eddie in his studio discussing his role in Roxy and demonstrating his custom made perspex violin that he used live and in the studio with Roxy.

Another piece discusses the main members Bryan, Phil, Andy & Paul on their contributions to 'the Roxy soup'

Gary Tibbs & Guy Pratt talk about the revolving door for bass players in Roxy as part of the extras.

For anyone who didn't get the chance to see the BBC4 Documentary this is a fascinating piece of work well put together showing many exclusive interviews and rare footage of the band. For those of you who have seen the main feature the 30 minute extras are well worth seeing.

Olympia Track Listing 12th July 2010

I can now confirm the track list for Bryan Ferry's forthcoming album 'Olympia' with a new release date of 25th October.

(1) You Can Dance (to be released as a single on 8th August)

(2) Alphaville

(3) Heartache By Numbers (co-written with Scissor Sisters)

(4) Me Oh My

(5) Shameless (co-written with Groove Armada)

(6) Song To The Siren (Jeff Buckley Cover)

(7) No Face, No Name, No Number (Traffic cover)

(8) BF Bass (Ode To Olympia)

(9) Reason Or Rhyme

(10) Tender Is The Night

On first listen 'Me Oh My' (a Ferry ballad in the vein of The Only Face) and the Tim Buckley track 'Song To The Siren' are the standouts. Bryan's version of 'Song To The Siren' is more in the ethereal vein of a version recorded by This Mortal Coil.  A version of 'Shameless' has previously been released by Groove Armada but this version is different and fits in with the rest of the album. Both 'Alphaville' and 'You Can Dance' were left over from the previously unreleased  'Alphaville' sessions and have been re-worked for release on 'Olympia'

SONG TO THE SIREN (This Mortal Coil)
