This is a cover version I did with my singer friend Ross Wilson of Bryan Ferry's 'Cruel'
http://soundcloud.com/pobsboy/cruel-final-mixIt started off as a potential track for the tribute CD 'Take Refuge In Pleasure' but as Ross was living in London at the time it took ages for me to get him up here to record the vocals and by then we were too late for the album.
I chose this song because first and foremost I like the song and mainly because I thought that a lot of the other entries for the album would be from the earlier Roxy period.
I slowed it down and tried to cover it as if I was Bryan Ferry covering someone else's song. There are wee references to other Roxy tracks in a subtle way within it. (South Down, Pride And The Pain)
