I loved Bryan Ferry during the late 70s and early 80s - Roxy Music had some very cool stuff also of course -- I haven't really kept up with him much since then. Another couple of artists that were "the talent behind the band" that I loved and haven't kept track of are: Roger Hodson of Supertramp - Classically trained musician that had a great initial solo album and then went dark (maybe it was me) Midge Ure of Ultravox - another classically trained musician with a distinguished career both with Ultravox and later as a solo act. I still get chills when I hear Kate Bush singing back up... hmm that reminds me of "another" signer in this vein - Peter Gabriel, but he's so high profile that it's hardly worth talking about him...  |

Didn't know Hodgson had a solo album. Didn't follow them too much, but I really liked a couple of Supertamp's albums (crime o' da century and crisis, what crisis) and saw 'em live once in San Antone back in the early 80s. They had some special effects doodads that went well with the special effectors I inbibed back in those daze.

They were probably my favorite live band of all time.
No matter what tour, nor what year, from 1975 on, you could always depend on ...Waiting in total blackness with the anticipation of that first harmonica blast from the opening of School, right through to the ending strains of the last song of the encore set... Crime of the Century while watching the projection of the hands on the jail bars slowly spin away into the abyss...
Everything in between was pure bliss...
Even though you saw them in Texas (or wherever) and in the 80s, I bet you can vaguely recall the blonde guy (can't recall his name) that played woodwinds blowing Smoke up into the white spotlight during the song Asylum. It was all low tech stuff, but extremely dramatic and memorable...

I don't know much about Bryan Ferry, but "More than This" is one of my favorite songs ever. I can't hit that "good" not like he does, but I'm going to keep trying.

That's the note in "...it was good for a while, there was no way of knowing..."
I've been trying to hit that note over and over for years, and I just can't sing the line like Bryan Ferry, even if I had very dark tint in car, etc.

Try it and see if you don't squeak on the word "good."

Actually, I listened to the song last night and he doesn't say "...good for a while..." but something else similar, for the record, same high note I can't hit anyway.

Yeah, the second stanza is "it was f-u-u-n-n for a while..."
Speaking of "Thirteen," great Big Star song.
