THE
BEST
OF
ROXY
MUSIC on
CD -
The
CD
is new.
Evolving
from
the
late-'60s
art-rock
movement,
Roxy
Music
had
a
fascination
with
fashion,
glamour,
cinema,
pop
art,
and
the
avant-garde,
which
separated
the
band
from
their
contemporaries.
Dressed
in
bizarre,
stylish
costumes,
the
group
played
a
defiantly
experimental
variation
of
art
rock
which
vacillated
between
avant-rock
and
sleek
pop
hooks.
During
the
early
'70s,
the
group
was
driven
by
the
creative
tension
between
Bryan
Ferry
and
Brian
Eno
who
each
pulled
the
band
in
separate
directions:
Ferry
had
a
fondness
for
American
soul
and
Beatlesque
art-pop,
while
Eno
was
intrigued
by
deconstructing
rock
with
amateurish
experimentalism
inspired
by
the
Velvet
Underground.
This
incarnation
of
Roxy
Music
may
have
only
recorded
two
albums,
but
it
inspired
a
legion
of
imitators
--
not
only
the
glam-rockers
of
the
early
'70s,
but
art-rockers
and
new
wave
pop
groups
of
the
late
'70s.
Following
Eno's
departure,
Roxy
Music
continued
with
its
arty
inclinations
for
a
few
albums
before
gradually
working
in
elements
of
disco
and
soul.
Within
a
few
years,
the
group
had
developed
a
sophisticated,
seductive
soul-pop
that
relied
on
Ferry's
stylish
crooning.
By
the
early
'80s,
the
group
had
developed
into
a
vehicle
for
Ferry,
so
it
was
no
surprise
that
he
disbanded
the
group
at
the
height
of
its
commercial
success
in
the
early
'80s
to
pursue
a
solo
career.
