Roxy Music
Avalon

“Avalon” ONE of the most beautiful sentimental masterpieces of the '80s and undoubtedly THE ultimate masterpiece of Roxy Music.
Bryan Ferry, the most sensual and fascinating artist of all time, a driver of emotions, an incorruptible male, a hypnotic magnet.
This album has its history, it was created in honor of John Lennon who had just been assassinated, thus an anthem of remembrance, respect with finesse and elegance.
It's a sort of heart surgery, thanks to Bryan there's no band that has been able to match the extraordinary natural abilities of seduction, sensuality, sex, class, and sophistication, incorporating them into soft-rock-pop melodies, every song has the scent and fragility of a rare flower on the verge of extinction, each track is a petal of delicacy, and this sumptuous bouquet will close an illustrious and honorable career.
On the cover, the falcon with its warrior, boldly scanning the horizon as the sun sets in anticipation of the light of a new day.
The union of flesh and soul generates the strength of spirit, each track has its unique ambient resonance.

Triumphant opening “More Than This”, sunny, fresh, noble, sensual movements, skin against skin, lips against lips
"The Space Between" electric guitar, bass, and sax combine with Bryan's voice in a cadenced and prolonged rhythm
“Avalon” floating, penetrating, slow, so slow under a full moon, discernible keyboards, and the soft voice of Etienne Yanick
“India” brief instrumental track, a sensation of a distant memory marked by tambourines echoing the orient
“While My Heart Is Still Beating” full of pathos, romantic, elegant, sax in metamorphosis.
“The Main Thing” erotic-sensual movement coming, naked under the shower, letting oneself be caressed by the hot water sliding over the body. 
“Take a Chance With Me” percussion, synthesizers, clarinet in march ready to explode into an overwhelming and tamed rhythm
“To Turn You On” cymbals, percussion, Bryan's subtle and angelic voice leads through very soft highs and lows
“True To Life” a quiet journey in a convertible car
“Tara” very brief sax and the waves crashing on the rocks at sunset.
Sublime is the search for originality and melodic taste, creating a pearl of talent that makes a difference.

And there is no time or age to love all kinds of music, indeed I dedicate this review to my 73-year-old mother because “More Than This” runs through her veins to the point of considering it her favorite song, bringing her to listen to it repeatedly and continuously without any fatigue or cloyingness, heaven forbid if I don't keep the CD in the car when I'm with her.
I love you, you are a fantastic mother!
