<<The most anticipated of this wave of collaborations - if not, perhaps by Eno - has been his return to the Roxy Music fold. For the band's album, scheduled for release in the autumn, he provided two songs, at the band's request, and ended up making a keyboard contribution to other tracks. "The strangest thing," he said, "was that they all called me Eno. In those days I was always Eno. I rather liked that. When I was at art school no one called me Brian. It was only when I went to America that people thought it was rude to address me by my surname. So I became Brian."
Working again with Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera and Paul Thompson, there were other reminders of Roxy's heyday in the early 1970s. "The band hadn't changed one bit in terms of its internal dynamics. Just the same chemistry. It made me wonder if people can ever change the chemistry between them. After all that time, the relationships seemed exactly the same."
But he will not be joining them on stage. "They didn't ask me, I think because they know I wouldn't. I don't fancy it. I basically don't like playing live and I'm also worried about people saying, 'Oh, right, he's going back to the old band, then.' It was a big decision for me to do those two days in the studio with them. Not that I don't like them. I like them all. They're nice people. But because I thought, 'Oh, fuck, I'm going to have to spend years talking about this, and it was only two days.'">>
That's awesome. Probably as unexpected as a Pixies reunion...

They tour everywhere but in France this summer... :(
Last Sunday I watched the DVD of their 2001 comeback gig in London and it was really good. Except they played my least favorite RM song, "A Song For Europe". Can't stand that one.

I got the paper yesterday, but I didn't read that article. Never been a Roxy fan, but good luck to 'em.

I would love ENO to join Brian again telling us what it is still feeling before science.

| Great as Eno is, the two albums they made after he left were better IMO. |
