Roxy Music - Roxy Music

Yeah! This is great - an unholy mix of glam, prog, rock n roll, and saxophone, it doesn't sound much like anything I've heard before, though there are flashes throughout (a flavour of Bowie here, a dash of what might become Talking Heads there, even sometimes hints of something that might've made the lads from Joy Division sit up and take notice, such as on "If There Is Something", say). Heavy as all get go in places, and seemingly barely grounded in others, it's a vivid concoction and very listenable.
