Bryan Ferry
Olympia

THE REVIEW

So, after the "flop" of The Beatles, let's make a comeback:

AN ERECTION!

That's how you can describe the latest effort of old Bryan.

Yes, because from the cover (well done, Kate Moss) to the last note, this album only aims to provoke sexual excitement in the listener, so much so that instead of the usual packaging, they would have done well to wrap the CD in a condom.

But, after all, this is what the former leader of Roxy Music has always done best (raise your hand if you've never unleashed your urges on the cover of Country Life from '74, I even have it on vinyl, where the details are mooooore visible).

But let's get to (oooops!) the music.

Or rather, no! Because it's well-known that I don't know how to "talk" about music.

Just trust me, dear men, and go buy it (buy the music! Seriously, buy it, please!) you'll see that after so many NOs, the woman you're aiming for, upon listening to Olympia, will finally fall into your arms (or better yet, onto your mattress).

I only want to try to talk about one piece: "Song To The Siren," because if Tim Buckley's original is like the dust of a distant star that settles on your ear lobes (you must cry listening to it! All you tough and angry men!), this version will make that siren materialize before your eyes, it'll have the face of the maiden on the cover, she will unbutton your jeans, gently lower your boxers, slowly open her lips and... A LITTLE PRIVACY PLEASE!
