Splendid recommendation of the new Ferry release:
"Well worth the wait"

"Elsewhere, the ensemble, which features three of the original Roxy Music, sound slick and musically sophisticated, elevating the pedestrian ballad Me Oh My and the lurching Reason Or Rhyme to a level of luxury confection.
Primal Scream's Mani pumps up the bass on BF Bass (Ode to Olympia), a successful groove with a memorable chorus. "Love, love, you fit me like a glove . . ." Ferry does his finest weary and wasted croon on Alphaville, a song he wrote over a decade ago. "I'm hungry for your love . . ."
Shameless, written with Groove Armada, is a floor-filler filled with shimmering aural textures that cocoon the man's quiet desperation. It's subtitled Rock 'n' roll Desire.
"I can't take heartache by numbers," pleads Ferry on the new single, a song written with Scissor Sisters. It makes for easy listening.
While it lacks punch, it doesn't detract from the overall package which is a welcome, and stylish, return by a performer who makes 65 sound like the new 30."
