Roxy Music - More Than This - The Story Of Roxy Music [DVD] [2008] [NTSC

The Early Years

Drawing on key tracks from the band's first three albums (1972-1973), The Early Years clarifies that Roxy Music's egg-headed art-rock innovation (the louche and debonair trash-cabaret croon of Bryan Ferry, the wonky metal-detector sonics of Brian Eno's "keyboards"') will forever remain on the right side of chic. Too unique to be duplicated, Roxy Music bequeathed their legacy of noodle-free prog-rock and PhD glam in piecemeal fashion; to chin-stroking New Wavers like Magazine (remember how "Virginia Plain" re-hit the charts at the height of punk?) and more recently to Suede (the grand Jacques Brel sweep of "A Song For Europe" would have slotted nicely into Dog Man Star). The Early Years offers further evidence of Roxy's perma-durability on the classic strut of "Do The Strand" and on the strange "In Every Dream Home A Heartache", a sordid monologue of suburban isolation and auto-erotic relish intoned by Ferry in a manner which even Gary Numan would have found dehumanised. --Kevin Maidment
