EACH TRACK IS THE AURAL EQUIVALENT OF A DREAM,
By No Name (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mamouna (Audio CD)
A lot of artists sing ABOUT dreams, but Mamouna was Bryan Ferry's attempt at creating the aural equivalent of dreams THEMSELVES. This is not an album that jumps out and punches you in the nose, but rather envelops you slowly with understated, trance-like rhythms, subdued solos, falling minor key chord progressions and haunting vocals. In lesser hands, this material would sound homogenized and dull, but Ferry's distinct voice and persistent grooves keep the record percolating along. U2 producer and former bandmate Brian Eno is back on board as well, bringing an element of "mannered chaos" that threatens to break through the placid surface at any moment. Of course, like all pleasant dreams it ends way too soon. Highly recommended to people who like an elegant, luxurious sound tempered with menacing undetones. Stand out tracks: "Mamouna", "Gemini Moon", "The Only Face"

"Where do we go from here? Your place or mine?",

This review is from: Mamouna (Audio CD)
Bryan Ferry is loved all over the world, but in the United States, you say his name and usually what you get is "Bryan, who?" He has been making music for over thirty years, and he still is timeless. Of all solo albums since he left Roxy Music, "Mamouna" is my favorite. Bryan Ferry music is the epitome of make out music, and on "Mamouna" he has reached a new height. There is not a bad track and to narrow it down to my five favorite is hard. But here is my best shot. 1)"Chain Reaction". The music is the star on this song. Blast it and surrender. 2)"Mamouna" The way the title song starts is enough to make you a fan for life. Just awesome. 3)"The 39 Steps". One for your feet, and erotic nature. 4)"Don't Want To Know". The album opens with a winner, and draws you into Bryan's erotic world effortlessly. 5)"Your Painted Smile" A song to play while the afterglow is still shining. Bryan Ferry music is an oasis in the desert that is called music nowadays, and if you are fortunate enough to find it, dive in and enjoy the swim.

nice on paper, but...,

This review is from: Mamouna (Audio CD)
With such a great list of musicans on this album (Nile Rodgers and Brian Eno are just two) it dissapoints greatly. Though similar in sound to the excellnt Avalon, Ferry just doesn't have the same well crafted songs as he did in 1982. What results is an empty, souless albums which at its best (Mamouna) washes over pleasantly and at its worst (N.Y.C.) can be embarassing. While the production is pleasant and often innovative (thanks to Eno) it can't cover up the fact that the album is actually incredibly dull.
