Roxy Music
Reflection
NMC
By David Chiu

 

Before Roxy Music reached commercial music nirvana with Avalon a decade later, the group led by Bryan Ferry was at the height of its avant-garde/glam zenith. With Ferry's unmistakable campy croon, Brian Eno's sonic wizardry, Andy MacKay's honking sax, and Phil Manaznera's zinging guitar, Roxy Music was ahead of its time with their ambitious set pieces played with an abundance of glamour and substance. Reflection is a document of the group's live appearances on German television and a record of the early Roxy Music just as they were still in their collective prime. The songs on this 2-CD set reflects the group's outstanding output at the time: "Virginia Plain," "Re-Make/Re-Model," "Out of the Blue," "Street Life," "Do the Strand," "Editions of You," and even a campy cover of Dylan's "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." Each disc also features of video performances of each of the songs-you'll get to witness not only the performances but also the wild wardrobe and look of the group (especially of the then-andro looking Neo and greasily-coiffed Ferry). Reflection is for the die-hard Roxy fan looking to relive the nostalgia of glam rock.
