Roxy Music – More Than This
Tags
Biography
London, England (1971 – 1983, 2001 – present)
Roxy Music were a significant influence on the early English punk movement, as well as providing a model for many “New Wave” acts and the subsequent New Romantic and experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. Ferry and co-founding member Brian Eno have also had broadly influential solo careers. Brian Eno has emerged as one of the most significant record producers of the late 20th century, with credits including landmark albums by David Bowie, Devo, Talking Heads, The Slits, and U2. Eno is widely credited for coining the term - ambient music - and has collaborated with, and/or produced such important artists as Daniel Lanois,Harold Budd, David Byrne, Robert Fripp (King Crimson ), Cluster, Jon Hassell, and Jah Wobble, among many others.
The group’s name was partly an homage to the titles of old cinemas and dance halls, and partly a pun on the word ‘rock’.

No! I'm sick of Bowie getting credit for EVERYTHING. [2] even though I admit he is a legendary figure in his own rights.

Bryan Ferry is a collector of the work of English modernist artist Wyndham Lewis (see here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-features/7803759/Bryan-Ferrys-eye-for-a-masterpiece.html), and arguably something of his [Ferry's] visual style owes some small debt to Lewis and the Vorticists. Ferry may be seen to have paid tribute to this fact when he took the typeface used on the cover of Roxy Music's Manifesto from Lewis's Vorticist magazine, BLAST. Anyway, do take a moment to have a look at the last.fm group here ---->http://www.last.fm/group/Wyndham+Lewis Cheers!
