Formidably brilliant and for a dufflecoat Roxy Music fan this track probably best epitomised their sheer brilliance. This is in my opnion their best ever song and such a shame it never made it as a release. Here's hoping Kevin and the crew cover this with Roxy Magic (if you like Roxy and haven't seen Roxy Magic yet where have you been?).
@xwaystranger But Roxy and Ferry never fit in their own time. They were always the outlier of style and substance, in a decade of mostly mediocre music.
Things haven't changed. Crap music has always been crap music, and Roxy and Ferry have always been sublime. (Well, apart from the odd missteps)
@w0mblemania But until 1979 (Manifesto) you could still hear the Unusual on the radio. Crap has been ruling since 1980. That means we have been descending into the Dark Ages for 30 Years! Enough is Enough. It is high time for elevated Artists to Rule once again. From 1972 till 1979 there wasn't a person on the street who didn't know "Love is the Drug". There wasn't a person on the street who didn't know Salvador Dali. There wasn't a person on the street who hadn't heard of Carlos Castaneda.
@ignoxious Nice PC comment. However it is part of the Lukewarm Virus to downplay the significance of the contemporary downturn. Music till 1979 was focused on classical training, instrument knowledge, and great lyrical content and poetry. Since 1979 Music has been promoted by an elite power structure with a propaganda agenda of robot sampling, bad poetry and black programed pretend gangsters with stripper singers promoting gold chains, consumer product pushing, and non existent lyrics.
Chef d'oeuvre d'intensité et de douceur. De la grande musique. On reconnait si bien Ferry

Great drumming, especially from about from 2.17 and onwards.

Love this song!! Magical would best describe the era that this song and many others were penned..........
The beginning of "Nightingale" takes me back to that time when life was just so much more simpler. Bravo Roxy Music

@xwaystranger The world has been devolving for about 200,000 years - ever since Homo-sapiens began to appear on the scene...

@xwaystranger Begging your pardon, Good Sir, but you are discounting the rise of that most-vaunted, dulcet virtuoso: the turnatblist.
