In Your Mind

Product Information

OK, I'm a big fan, especially of Roxy Music, so I went out and bought every single Bryan Ferry solo remaster from 2000, all done expertly well by the great Bob Ludwig, in HDCD if you have a compatible player. If you are a Roxy fan (and how could you not be), Bryan's solo albums have so much to offer, they should not be overlooked, they in many ways meet that impossibly high standard set by his main band. You have to chase these albums down if you are in the USA, they are UK imports. I can't see how anyone could be disappointed by these remasters, or the Ludwig-remastered Roxy Music HDCDs from 1999. It's hard to believe how good these sound, just awesome. So here's one fan's evaluation of these albums:

Bete Noire (1987). OK, some of the 80s crummy production techniques is starting to creep in here, although Bryan is complimented by many of the better musicians of the time including Johnny Marr of the Smiths. Ironically sounds more dated than either Avalon or Boys and Girls. Still, 2/3rds of this record is great, although this is the very first hint we get of Bryan's vocals starting to fade a bit. Well worth seeking out, and by far the hardest to find remaster. 7.0 out of 10.

Chris Spedding joined Bryan for this tour after making a deal with Bryan's management to help promote his next album 'Hurt' Taxi (1993). A relatively dashed-off sounding albums of covers, will remind the listener of his earliest works, much more simple and less produced than his more recent work. His voice is holding up but fraying at the edges. Still a strong effort. 7.0 out of 10.

As Ferry's first solo all-original LP effort, released after Ferry's band Roxy Music went on a four-year hiatus, it was supported by an extensive tour. His musical ambitions were brought into sharper focus after he hitch-hiked to London to see Otis Redding perform in concert in 1967. It was then that Ferry knew he had to become a singer.Austriancharts.at – Bryan Ferry – In Your Mind" (in German). Hung Medien. Retrieved 13 November 2020.

An all-covers album composed of standards from before the 40s. Bryan's voice is now showing very clear signs of age and ruination.

Another covers album, and a perfect extension of These Foolish Things. Another mix of the modern with the older, complimented by Bryan's ever-improving buttery floaty bird-like croon. 7.5 out of 10.

It was his first solo album of all original songs.

In 1983, Dexy’s Midnight Runners’ frontman Kevin Rowland managed to get his band booted off their prestigious support gig on David Bowie’s Serious Moonlight tour. Dexy’s were riding high as a ragamuffin band of “Celtic soul rebels” who had scored big with their single “Come on Eileen.” Despite the plum role on Bowie’s show-bill, Rowland was no fan of the Thin White Duke. Unfortunately, he made his antipathy public during one gig at the Hippodrome d’Auteuil, Paris, when he told the audience David Bowie was “full of shit,” before adding:Your computer may be infected with malware or spyware that makes automated requests to our server and causes problems. Boys and Girls (1985). With Roxy Music having given its final bow with the masterpiece Avalon in 1982, here is Bryan's long-awaited sequel, produced masterfully again by Rhett Davies, mixed by Bob Clearmountain. This album is less well known than Avalon but is every ounce its equal. This is a marvel of modern recording and mixing technology, and Ludwig's remaster gives you the most of it. Impossible to resist, this album will take you away to a different world, you'll love it if you have a romantic bone in your body. A true demo disc to show off your system. 9.5 out of 10, 10 being Avalon.
