Brian Eno, Brian Ferry....the first 2 Roxy albums are a coin toss for me with "For Your Pleasure" standing out as an album I will always love and i hope you agree is a fine choice for this BLOG. Intriguing, creative and yet totally "Roxy", this album nice balances the controlled and cool tendencies of Ferry with the experimental and improvised mannerisms of Eno. This variation is quite evident as songs range from the driving singles "Do the Strand" and "Editions of You" to the slow and almost-eerie "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," with with atonal synthesizer textures which seem to fit perfectly with Ferry's sedated vocals. High on the creativity and inspiration front, this album is an essential listen.
