PRESS RELEASE:
THE MUSIC 1972-2008
This double CD and DVD set is a compilation of Phil’s solo work as well as key Roxy tracks that Phil co-wrote with Bryan Ferry reminds us Phil’s input to the Roxy canon including the hit singles ‘Over You’ & ‘ Take A Chance With Me’ and some of Roxy’s finest album tracks ‘Amazona’, ‘Out Of The Blue’, ‘Prairie Rose’, Manifesto’ ‘Running Wild’ all placed chronologically with tracks from his solo work and Eno collaborations up until 1982. Disc 2 takes a 17 year jump and bypasses Phil’s work with The Explorers, John Wetton, Sergo Dias, Nowomowa Tania Libertad & his ‘Southern Cross’ album. Disc 2 is compiled from his last 3 solo albums ‘Vozero’, ‘6PM’ & ’50 Minutes Later featuring Phil on vocals.
The icing on the cake for this release is the annoyingly good DVD with Phil talking about his childhood and career from pre-Roxy through the Roxy years and his solo work until the present day. The reason I say it is annoyingly good is that as I was teased by the segments of rare unseen footage of Roxy that I was delighted to see and it annoyed me in that it has been lying around un-used until now. Let's hope more of this can be released in a fuller form in the future. This closes with more footage of Roxy Music circa 2006 in the studio working on the new album. This is not that same footage as used on the recent BBC documentary. This DVD is a must see for all Roxy fans as well as fans of Phil’s solo work.
