If you haven't seen it yet, the latest issue of Uncut contains a very interesting interview with BF (including questions from Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson!). He confirms that box sets of the first two albums are on the way including "loads of extras". There's also an excellent (8 out of 10) review of the new album, and the complete Roxy box set comes a creditable 8th in their "best reissues of the year" end-of-year poll. |

What's weird, typical and pretty funny is the question from AM - "Will you ever finish the album we (RM) started in 2006?" - the answer is basically a no but I think its so so sad that it has to be done through the pages of a UK music magazine. If you are being cynical and manipulative, it could be Andy getting confirmation in public from BF that he doesn't want to do it so they can go off and finish it themselves either as an instrumental album or with a different singer under a different name - I would if I were them - just the same as BF taking R&R etc or BFB and putting them on Olympia. |

Richard: "so they can go off and finish it themselves either as an instrumental album or with a different singer under a different name - I would if I were them - just the same as BF taking R&R etc or BFB and putting them on Olympia." - Perhaps the session in 2006 was not that fruitful? - Perhaps ROR + BFB were the only two good things that came from it? - Perhaps AM + PM have nothing better to do than keep stoking the ambers... ? |

Ferryfan I seem to recall at the time PM saying there were over 10 tracks done in some form, and he was pretty upbeat about them and TGPT implying it was all good stuff and at least a solid base on which to build - If I recall there was a lot of frustration at the time - I know for a fact the Metaphors album and touring was disrupted because of it. The fact Andy asked the question seems to imply something - in contradiction to what I said in the previous post - it could be some wheeze for them all to finally put the lid on it and the band albeit in a very strange way. In March 2005, it was announced on Phil Manzanera's official site[26] that the band, including Brian Eno, had decided to record an album of new material. The project would mark the first time Eno worked with Roxy Music since 1973's For Your Pleasure. After a number of denials that he would be involved with any Roxy Music reunion, on 19 May 2006 Eno revealed that he had contributed two songs to the new album as well as playing keyboards on other tracks. He did, however, rule out touring with the band.[27] Had the record been released as a Roxy Music album, it would have been the first album since Manifesto on which original drummer Paul Thompson performed. The album has, however, been released as a Bryan Ferry solo album entitled Olympia. Roxy Music on stage during concert at London's ExCeL Exhibition Centre, July 2006 During early 2006, a lesser-known Roxy track, "The Main Thing", was remixed by Malcolm Green and used as the soundtrack to a pan-European television commercial for the Opel Vectra featuring celebrated football referee Pierluigi Collina. During July 2006, the band toured Europe. They concentrated mostly on places they had never visited before, such as Serbia and Macedonia. Roxy Music's second drummer, Andy Newmark, performed during the tour, as Thompson withdrew due to health issues. During a March 2007 interview with the Western Daily Press, Ferry confirmed that although the next Roxy Music album is definitely being made, it would not be vended for another "year and a half", as Ferry had just released and toured behind his twelfth studio album, Dylanesque, consisting of Bob Dylan covers.[28] In June 2007, the band hired a Liverpool-based design agency to develop their new website supporting their new album. Early in the year, Phil Manzanera revealed that the band were planning to sign a record contract. During an October 2007 interview, Ferry said that the album would include a collaboration with Scissor Sisters.[29] However, in November 2009 Ferry stated that there would be no new Roxy Music record: "It was overly publicized, when Brian Eno and I went into the studio together, that we were re-forming. We worked together for a few days, weeks maybe, and I decided I didn’t really want to do a Roxy thing. It’s going to be a solo record. Brian plays on a couple of tracks though. I don't think we'll record as Roxy again. . . . It would be great to do some more Roxy Music concerts, although I don't think Eno will be involved." |

What other questions were asked please? Particularly from AM & PT?? |

PT said you (BF) seem to have a never-ending amount of energy and drive. Will you ever stop touring/recording or go on till you drop? BF: I'll go on till I drop. He then talks about the tour next year and incorporating some of the Jazz album into it (according to one of the interviews he gave yesterday, he also expects to have some new original material ready to perform by then - but we'll see!). |

India: "He then talks about the tour next year and incorporating some of the Jazz album into it" - Sounds like another BF tour as we know it, with his latest album as a front. |

Richard: All good points. Perhaps BF was forced-into a corner financially and had to at least investigate the possibility of doing a Roxy record. (he had just had a very expensive divorce) But maybe after a while it became apparent that he just couldn't work with Phil and Andy....in a studio setting. I think it would be a real shame to have a bad 9th RM record, and I wish forum members would stop fantasising about this 'finished album' - that BF has on a dusty shelf. And to be quite frank - I'd be surprised if BF ever spoke to PM again after his comments in the guardian... And when you say. "BF taking R&R ...and putting them on Olympia" All the musicians that feature prominently on those tracks were recorded after PM had contributed....Rodgers / Miller / Thompson / TFerry.... I'm sure J.O.B will confirm this... |
