Bryan Ferry - Don't Stop The Dance (EG)

Legend has it that the word "languid" was put in dictionaries all over the world purely in anticipation of the coming of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry. Disappointing though the Boys And Girls LP was, the previous single "Slave To Love" and this one stand out. Welcome rocky islands in a quicksand swamp. (Paul Bursche, No 1, August 24, 1985)

Bryan Ferry - Windswept (Polydor)

Bryan Ferry's always reminded me of an After Eight Mint: cool, dark, elegantly wrapped, the ideal way to end an evening. And "Windswept", like most of his songs, is an almost delicate wafer thin delight: all crisp, staccato guitars sashaying to and fro on a bed of swirling synthesizers and saxophones. Irresistable. (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, December 4, 1985)
