Bryan Ferry这个月16号发行的新专辑,全部翻唱Bob Dylan的歌
Bryan Ferry is to release dylanesque an album of Bob Dylan cover songs, this Spring.
The Roxy Music front man is a longtime fan of the great man Dylan having first recorded a swaggering version of Hard Rain抯 A-Gonna Fallin 1973.
Ferry says recording the new album has always been an ambition, saying, "I just thought it would be great to make a whole album of Dylan songs. And at the end of last year, finally, it happened."
dylanesquefeatures eleven Dylan songs, recorded in just one week in the studio with his full touring band backing him. Ferry says, "I wanted to get away from that locked-in-the-studio feeling. We were doing live vocals, harmonica, live everything."
Ferry has changed the moods and temper of the songs, protest song the Times They Are A-Changinis no longer just that. Ferry tells us "The way I do it doesn't mean it isn't a protest songthis song can be whatever you want it to be. I grew up with the jazz idea that you could do a song in many different ways."
Other tracks Ferry has tackled include, 'Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues,' 'Simple Twist of Fate,' ll I Really Want To Doand ositively 4th Street.
Guest musicians also appear on the covers album Brian Eno provides "sonic enhancements" on f Not For Youand The Dirty Three抯 Warren Ellis brings a string arrangement to ositively 4th Street.
Ferry also tackles nocking On Heaven's Dooradmitting that it] was a risky one, because it's been covered so many times by different people. With All Along The Watchtower there was a nod to Hendrix as well as Dylan. The backing track was done about eight years ago, just an acoustic guitar played by Robin Trower, bass, drums and me. I kept looking at it and thinking, one day I've got to finish that..."

Foxbase Alpha
Douban
Saint Etienne
genre:
Pop
release date 1992-01-01
publisher:
Warner Bros / Wea
Foxbase Alpha is the first album by British band Saint Etienne, released in 1991.
The album was recorded in a style which is close to the house music sound of the time, but songs like "Nothing Can Stop Us" and "Wilson" display the group's characteristic love of 1960s pop and several samples. Longer songs like "Stoned to Say the Least" and "Like the Swallow" are reminiscent of ambient house akin to The Orb. Like its follow-up So Tough, Foxbase Alpha's songs are bridged by samples from films or by short songs. At the time of recording, Sarah Cracknell was not fully part of the group, and as a result she does not sing on "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", which is sung by Moira Lambert.
Foxbase Alpha was on the short list of nominees for the 1992 Mercury Prize. Saint Etienne members have named OMD's Dazzle Ships as a prominent influence on the album.

"I don't give a fuck about John Lydon ... still, I think he knows what he's doing, and PIL is the proof ... because Metal Box is one of the strongest records I've heard in years." - LESTER BANGS, 1980
"Summons up everything from the unpleasant portentousness of middle-period Jim Morrison to what sounds like the deranged Kaddish of a punk rabbi. This is not, in short, exactly a party record ...the joke, of course, will be on me if fifteen years from now everything on the radio sounds like this. But it wouldn't surprise me too much." - STEREO REVIEW , 1980
The second album by John Lydon's post-Sex Pistols outing Public Image Ltd. was originally released in the UK in 1979 in a limited edition film canister-style metal box containing three 12" 45s. Some copies managed to float across the Atlantic into the hands of a fortunate few, making it a post-punk collectors' holy grail.
Unavailable for almost thirty years, the Metal Box is back as an exact replica of the original, remastered for better sound than the 1979 vinyl!
In Lydon's own words: "Metal Box was hard work. First, Virgin weren't very sure about the metal package, you know, cost, blah blah blah. So we offered to pay for some of it by reducing our advance from them. Obviously the idea of putting a record in a metal box was a bit unusual. The idea came from film canisters. We all thought video and film was the future. Besides, I've always collected vinyl and this was a really good way of stopping it getting damaged."
