Performance: Sonics: |
As good as the Avalon (Roxy Music) sacd what the quality of sonics concerns.
Another great job from the producer at that time; Rhett Davies.
Great solo album from Brian with many guest musicians as Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Nile Rodgers and so on. Boys and Girls contains the hits Slave to love, Windswept and Don't stop the dance.
The surroundmix sound sublime and detailed. Brian's voice is warm and well placed with the music.
No bonustracks on this one, after 38 minutes the enjoying is over....weep....
In the booklet you find all the songlyrics, well done.
Performance; i always called this album Avalon II. Brian's best solo album.
Sonics; Great, great just great!

Performance: Sonics (S/MC): / |
An amazing 5.1 sound experience. Mesmerizing! A great companion or compliment to Roxy Music's "Avalon"
The reviewer that said the sound wasn't good, well God bless him, because it sounds great to my ears.
This is in my top five SACD's I own list.
1. Avalon -Roxy Music (5.1 and stereo)
2. Let It Bleed -Rolling Stones (stereo)
3. Oh Mercy -Bob Dylan (stereo)
4. Boys and Girls - Bryan Ferry (5.1 and stereo)
5. Madman Across the Water -Elton John (5.1 and stereo)

Performance: Sonics (MC): |
Yes I agree with one the reviewers below abou the relative low quality of the sonics of this album.
When you hear what people like Bob Ludwig have done with the Dire Straits' "Brother in Arms" albim,
you realise what is possible and that this album does not add much to the discrete Multi-channel
SACD experience. So,even thoughthe performance may be good, yo wouldn't be missing much by
missing out on this SACD album.
