The Bogus Man - Roxy Music,

This is quite a strange and unique composition, from the 70s, and even in its time it's quite one of its own universe. It got lots of influences of course, ive read both from german kraut and also psychadelic. Yet it carries itself with its own quirky groove. A thompimg universe created by Paul Thompson and John Porter. The drums and bass seem on first guise to be simple, but its very well excequited and needs to know how to lock a groove yet keep it crispy. They do that marvelously.

I will reccomend that song and i wonder is their any tracks remotly similar to it, that is not Roxy Music

Also congrats to Roxy Music for entering the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Very intriguing review, i like the soft marimba played distantly towards the end. Segments that tribal element you speek of.

I find most of Roxy Music just OKish but I always loved this song. Well picked for its own thread. The rhythm, ah the rhythm!

Manzaneras guitar have a slight 80s Fripp/ Belew staccato rythmic patterns

In Every Dream Home A Heartache....now that's a great weird Roxy tune.

And I think Stranded, Country, and Siren all deserve 4 stars .............
