Instumental Loose Talk now available online and in YouTube .......Yesterday I walked into town in the sunshine with the 'full fat' spoken version of Loose Talk playing on my fancy headphones and it sounded amazing - I felt a rush of excitement at the avant garde joy of it all - Spoken word and weird wee haunting instrumentals .... When was the last time Bryan Ferry was involved in making such abstract and controversial music.... ? To my mind - sides 2 of the debut Roxy Album and For Your Pleasure or, moving forward - Amazona , some B sides.. Parts of Mamouna, the middle section of Olympia's Reason or Rhyme, or some of the more jumpy instrumental pieces from The Jazz Age - for instance that whooping version of Virginia Plain. Whether you enjoy it or not, the weird energy created by all components in the complete album ‘Loose Talk’ is some of the most challenging music he has released. And now... we have the 'Amelia Barratt free' instrumental versions - which are also enjoyable but IMO can sound empty at times - I think I might listen to them occasionally but now they sound incomplete... I'd rather listen to the whole album as it was intended. |

Hipsters, W2 est tout a fair d’accord avec le jardinier. It is interesting to have the instrumentals and maybe they should have formed a ‘B’ side of the original album ? That said it’s really Amelia Barrett’s texts that give them a raison d’etre albeit listening without the words allows you to even more clearly determine from which part of Ferry’s career the music hails from and allows you to more easily imagine them as a score to some marvellous noir movie. All in all - tremendous stuff. Viva la nouvelle vague et Viva Ferry ! Windswept |
