This is no tribute to Roxy Music, it's a terrible insult
23 Oct 2002
Format:Audio CD
Boring, disasterous, cover version of Roxys classic songs. I have no idea why this so-called "tribute" was even released. This CD isn't even worthy of existing as the covers are absolutely a catastrophic injustice to Roxys music. Just the album cover art alone is enough to make even die hard fans run the other direction.
Stay as far away from this! End of Story!

POXY MUSIC!
2 Dec 2003
Format:Audio CD
I picked up a bargain-priced copy of this cd last time I visited London. As soon as I'd listened to it, however, I couldn't bear the embarrassment of owning it and got rid of it very quickly! What we have here is NOT a tribute to Roxy Music at all, just a shoddy collection of Roxy singles that were re-recorded by session musicians for those tacky "20 Great Hits, not by the original artists" compilations you used to see in supermarkets, gas stations etc. That's why the majority of these insipid "tributes" are such slavish imitations, with the singers desperately trying to copy Ferry's vibrato. Arthur Brown's rendition of Dylan's "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" was never intended as a tribute to Roxy Music. If you were going to pay tribute to someone, you'd obviously choose one of THEIR songs, not a cover. Anyway, Ferry's version appeared on his debut solo album, having nothing to do with what Roxy were doing at the time. Insult is added to injury by the awful artwork and the embarrassing "artiste" names (eg. Clit Richards) that the compilers have invented for this travesty. Roxy Music's 1979 UK comeback 45 was called "Trash" - that should have been the title used for this shameless piece of opportunism.

Hardly A Tribute... More An Embarassment!
20 July 2000
Format:Audio CD
Its my guess that this lame collection of slavish covers with almost lip-sync accuracy was meant to pay tribute, but does little to advance the banner of creativity held high by the originators. As the included tune (yet, unfortunately, equally LAME in its rendition) "THE IN CROWD" espouses, "other guys imitate us, but the original is still the greatest!"
Sadly, all but 2 of the 20 "interpretations" fail to diverge from nearly IDENTICAL instrumentation, arrangement, and lead vocalist aping the lyric-spitting, vibrato-viscious Mr. Ferry; yet, somehow, without the KOHONAS of the originals. Is this tribute? Does this add anything to the adventurous musical legacy that once was ROXY MUSIC? I think not. I doubt any of the Roxy regulars would be terribly impressed, nor was I.
It was amusing to hear the techno-disco version of "Virginia Plain" by Johnny Bic & Slamm (kinda "spin-me-right-round, like a record..." Dead-Or-Alive) At least it was a re-interpretation... and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown did a mean version of Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall," but its a bit of a stretch claiming the track is a tribute to Roxy Music (it was only ever released by Bryan Ferry as a solo cover...) Two stars for nice idea, but save your money for a better effort...
