Bryan Ferry - As Time Goes By (1999)
I knew neither Bryan Ferry nor Roxy Music before an ex-colleague of mine once put on this album at the office. I was immediately enthralled with this very special release. Ferry delivers fascinating renditions of the musical standard of the 1930s and '40s - and never allows these to descend to kitsch, which I presume is more than possible with a project like this. He manages to preserve the musical essence and quality that was accomplished with the original recordings from that era, and though his vibrato voice could have been irritating, it actually serves this "style" perfectly (well, it's not really a style, nor is it a genre, but I don't know the word for it). A delightful little album containing 15 gems.IFNKOVHGROGHPRM

you're being invaded by robots!
I really like Bryan Ferry, and like this more than most of his recent stuff. That and he's the suavest mofo in music today.
