Description
Phil Manzanera: " When choosing the songs and music from a body of work that, so far, has spanned 35 years, I did wonder if some common thread would emerge, and I guess it did…namely my passion for experimentation and musical exploration through sound and collaborations. I have never wanted to play it safe, even if it means, as the great music writer Ian MacDonald said of me, 'soaring like an angel one minute and stumbling like a sleepwalker the next'.
Disc 1 covers the first twenty years with Manzanera providing the musical context for the words of other co-writers, such as Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno, as well as writing varied instrumental music. The most recent 10 years are on
Disc 2 with Manzanera writing and singing his own lyrics, including 10 minutes of weirdness created by Eno's 'treatments' of music by former Roxy colleagues, Manzanera, Mackay and Thompson.
