180g Vinyl LP Made in GERMANY!
Remastered & Cut Half-Speed From Original
1/4" Tapes by Miles Showell at
Rolling
Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 336/500!
Avalon
is the final studio album from Roxy Music. Released
in 1982, it offered a smoother, more adult-oriented sound, giving us the
now-iconic singles "More Than This" and
"Avalon." Each Roxy Music album has been
reissued with a fresh half-speed cut by Miles Showell
at Abbey Road Studios,
Certainly,
the lush, elegant sound scapes of Avalon are far removed from the edgy
avant-pop of their early records, yet it represents another landmark in their
career. With its stylish, romantic washes of synthesizers and Bryan Ferry's
elegant, seductive croon, Avalon simultaneously functioned as sophisticated
make-out music for yuppies and as the maturation of synth
pop. Ferry was never this romantic or seductive, either with Roxy or as a solo artist, and Avalon shimmers with elegance
in both its music and its lyrics....It's a rich, textured album and a graceful
way to end the band's career. -Stephen Thomas Erlewine,
AllMusic.com, 5/5 stars.
