Брайан Ферри (Bryan Ferry) – английский музыкант, певец и автор песен. Необычный голос, аристократические манеры, романтическая внешность и несомненный композиторский талант с самого начала творческой карьеры помогли Ферри стать одним из пюбимцев английской музыкальной прессы.
"Bête Noire" (Live) (Ferry, Patrick Leonard ) [Japan only bonus track]

There are some songs of note -- "The 39 Steps" has a slightly menacing vibe to it, appropriate given the cinematic reference of the title, while the Ferry / Eno collaboration "Wildcat Days" displays some of Eno 's old synth-melting flash.
"Chain Reaction"

Compared to the variety of Bete Noire , Mamouna almost seems a revamp of Boys and Girls . Combine that with some of Ferry 's least compelling songs in a while, and Mamouna is something of a middling affair, almost too tasteful for its own good (and considering who this is, that's saying something).
"Gemini Moon"

Whereas his '80s work seemed to fit the times just so, with his own general spin on things providing true individuality as a result, on Mamouna Ferry seems slightly stuck in place.
"Which Way To Turn"

One of the most intriguing guest appearances comes at the very start -- "Don't Want to Know" has no less than five guitarists, including none other than Roxy 's own Phil Manzanera.
"The 39 Steps"

Steve Ferrone once again handles drums as he did on Taxi , while Richard Norris also reappears on loops and programming; other familiar faces include Nile Rodgers , Robin Trower (the album's co-producer), and Carleen Anderson .
"Wildcat Days" (Ferry, Brian Eno )
Re: Альбом со своей полки. Автор:finДата: 14.02.14 18:48:39
Rather than playing the wild card as he so often did, though, Eno concentrates on (to use his own descriptions in the credits) "swoop treatment" and "sonic awareness".
"Mamouna"
Re: Альбом со своей полки. Автор:finДата: 14.02.14 18:13:34
Sufficiently recharged via Taxi , Ferry got down to business and the following year released Mamouna , notable among other things for being his first recordings with the help of Brian Eno since the latter split from Roxy Music back in 1973.
"Your Painted Smile"

Mamouna is an album by British singer Bryan Ferry , released on Virgin Records in September 1994. He spent six years writing the album and perfecting it.

2angel dust: >Фобия - это не вполне то, что вы пытаетесь описать. >Фобия - это в первую очередь навязчивость. Навязчивый >страх. Человек понимает его нелепость, борется
Эта борьба всегда проигрышная. Человек очень немощен чтобы в одиночку справиться. Страх всегда одолевает сомнительного, неверующего человека. Он всегда что-то дергается, пыжиться, мечется по углам, когти рвёт, а он всё рядом. Сам человек не знает, как преодолеть его, ищет-свищет отгадку, и не находит, но и к здравому смыслу не прислушивается по своей упёртости. Короче, пока жареный петух не клюнет...

At The AV Club , David Anthony graded it a C+, stating that "Springsteen splashes his brightest colors against a canvas, crosses his fingers, and hopes they mesh." Jessica Hopper of Spin rated the album five out of ten, commenting that "This is the small tragedy of the uneven High Hopes : that it doesn't play like a Springsteen album." At Pitchfork , Stephen M. Deusner rated the album a four out of ten, noting that "the thick arrangements distract from the good songwriting and conceal the bad, often to the extent that it's impossible to discern which is which." Jesse Cataldo of Slant rated the album three stars, writing that "Springsteen aligns himself with a long tradition of folksingers, and as a devotee of protest music, he clearly understands the genre's responsibility in identifying such trends; the specific instances that create the songs may change, but the deeper inequalities that inspire them don't". At The Guardian , Ian Gittins rated the album three stars, highlighting that "High Hopes may be a stopgap, but it is one assembled with tender, loving care." USA Today ' s Edna Gundersen gave the album one of its more negative views saying it was a grab-bag album of material that could hurt Springsteen's "High Hopes". Gunderson cited some mixed reviews and expected lukewarm sales for the album pointing out less that positive sales for Wrecking Ball saying High Hopes likely won't even match that album's numbers of 196,000 in its first week and its only competition being the new Kidz Bop album. Also in Gundersen's article, Billboard magazine associate director of charts/retail Keith Caulfield questioned Springsteen's decision to allow his music to be used for The Good Wife television show saying Springsteen's move mirrors Tony Bennett enlisting AARP as a tour sponsor or Taylor Swift plugging her album Red on Papa John 's pizza boxes.
