4 stars Roxy Music is Art Rock...absolutely, and Avalon sits excellently in this genre because it is such a clever musical composition with all the artistic greatness from ' More Than This' right through to ' Tara', It is full of swirling moody atmospheres and I think both Ferry and Manzanera were at their artistic peak on Avalon. Just listen to the opener on side 2 . ' The Main Thing' and the continued build to the climatic and beautiful ' Take A Chance With Me' Other highlights recommended are the instrumental ' India' and the ballad ' To Turn You On'. Highly recommended for any Art Rock enthusiast.
