 Rockin#x27; Roxy February 26, 2006

This is Roxy Music in top form. There isn#x27;t one song that I don#x27;t like or can#x27;t stand, every song is excellent. Rockin#x27; right from the start and stopping to catch its breath at the end. Bryan Ferry#x27;s lyrics and singing were imitated in the 1980#x27;s, but here is the real McCoy. And then there#x27;s the band itself, a tight dance machine. If you#x27;re looking for something to sum up the era then look no further.

Manifest was Roxy#x27;s sixth album and came, after a four year hiatus, at the cusp of the seventies and the eighties. The band hadn#x27;t actually split, rather members undertook various other projects. They re-emerged with a fresh new sound and without Eddie Jobson who had been engaged by Frank Zappa and formed UK with Bill Bruford, John Wetton and Alan Holdsworth. Roxy had now picked up Gary Tibbs (ex Vibrators), Alan Spenner and Paul Carrack in place of Jobson and John Gustavson who had done studio bass duties on the previous three albums.pThe time spent apart lead to a fresh new sound. More hard edge, with Ferry in Fine Fettle, right from the opening title track. This is a very strong album and projected Roxy back into the limelight.pI personally rate this album along with the first two (with Eno) "Roxy Music" and "For Your Pleasure" as Roxy#x27;s best. The previous three albums had been pretty good, with a slight downturn with "Country Life" but Manifesto showed new blood, more verve and no duff tracks. This was the end of the disco era and club mixes of "Dance Away" and "Angel Eyes" presented Roxy as funk-pop darlings of the dancefloor, with a New Wave sensation.pMost of Roxy#x27;s output after this album was overblown and too predictable for my liking. Their last best album. Treasure it.
