I'm certain I read somewhere that they were unconnected, but can i find it again...? Senior moments abound!
I suppose that makes sense in a way - otherwise you’d be better just releasing the album as one big track or two/there large ones.
I have to say though I am quite excited by this album - a lot more so than had it been released say 10-20 years ago. I think we are at a stage now where we know Bryan’s limitations singing wise due to his age but are still wanting to hear stuff from him no matter how experimental it may be.
I think we all anticipated that at some point we would be getting an instrumental release from Bryan and I suppose this is it but with him putting a unique style to it the Ferry way.
I hope we still get a release with vocals in the future much like in the form of Star or even Shameless from the Olympia album. I think going forward it may be more that Bryan’s voice is in the background sampled here and there with the music being the forefront. I think we know he’s not going to be singing ala Smoke Gets In Your Eyes style but giving the right artist to work with then we can still get something great. Todd Terje done a great job with J&M as did Groove Armada with Shameless.
With this new release you get the feeling that, although we’ll never see him live again, we’ll still be buying some new releases for a good few years yet by him.
