I love the first two album, brilliant electronics and guitar-playing as well as great songwriter and an overall creative atmosphere. Stranded and County Life are pretty good, I need to give them more listens. I can a lot of krautrock in Roxy Music's sound. Any thoughts?

This is very simple; ROXY MUSIC was good for the first album to the last one AVALON.
 
FLESH& BLOOD and MANIFESTO  more commercial??? so what??? it is still VERY good! I am not that elitist to reject anything  that got on the charts as long as it's good, and that's very good!!!Thumbs%20Up
 
Someone says ''refined''.......that's the right word
 
VIVA ROXY MUSIC.......  what a great live album as well with a fantastic ManzaneraHeart

Earlier work is my fave,particularly Country Life...was lucky enough to see them twice in 74/75,best part was Eddie Jobson's amazing key/violin work...

Roxy Music is usually discussed in terms of their eras, Eno and post-Eno. Their most progressive (i.e. experimental) work was with Brian Eno on their first two albums, although Stranded and Country Life are very well-received for the post-Eno era. Like most fans, I prefer the Eno era, but I thought their sound evolved wonderfully through the years after Brian Eno left leading up to Avalon.

In  my opinion Brian Eno his contribution to Roxy Music is a bit overrated, I prefer Eddie Jobson his tasteful and varied keyboard arrangements and his exciting work on the electric violin, BUY THE CD VIVA! AND THE OVERLOOKED DVD MUSIKLADEN 1974/75 (including John Wetton) Clap

Roxy Music - one of my personal best group (doesn't matter prog or not).
Bryan Ferry has unique, great voice and I love his solo stuff equally.

That's the one that hooked me, waay back when.  And if you haven't checked out Manzanera's recent stuff, shame on you!

There's still this undated post on his site that is at least newer than November 2005:

"Roxy back in the studio

The band has spent a productive couple of weeks in the studio recording some new material, described by Phil as 'exciting, for a proposed new Roxy Music album. More details when we get them."


It must have stalled out. Cry

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
