	Avalon (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2003, the album was ranked number 307 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
		The original 1982 stereo mix is left intact and is the same for the CD layer and for the HD layer, allegedly being transferred from analogue master tapes to DSD and processed in DSD throughout the process.
		Except for "India", the short instrumenal piece whose original multitrack tape had been lost, all tracks in the surround mix were remixed from multitrack sources, as opposed to two-channel stereo mixes being 'upmixed' to 5.1 as in some DVD-Video releases.

	Roxy Music - Avalon - Virgin Records - SACD
		Roxy Music was further adorned by Ferry's memorable solo albums which generated hits of their own bringing new listeners to explore, however briefly, his past.
		The multi-channel tracks are largely projected from the L/R main speakers and the Centre channels (used for vocals and a chosen instrument most of the time) while the L/R Surrounds largely projects an ambience that places you in the middle of the soundstage.
		Avalon was the transition; the gateway into the future while doubling as the end of a time.

	Amazon.co.uk: Avalon [Original recording remastered]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Avalon was recorded in the wake of the band's first number one hit--a version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy"--and although that song isn't on here, its tortured shadow looms large over "While My Heart Is Still Beating", the title track, and the unlikely Balearic anthem "More Than This".
		By the time the eighth and so far final studio album from the lasting remaining 3 core members of the band Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera was released in May of 1982 tensions where running high between the band members, possibly why this collection is such a ground breaker in style and execution.
		The album is beautifully written, performed and produced with wonderful technical values for the time; A timeless classic of mysticism these tunes will stay forever in the memory of nice songs.

	CD Baby: AVALON CATS: Four Feet to the Beat
		This is the Cats' debut album and serves as a reminder for those who saw the group - shake down the walls at last year's Sacto Jazz Jubilee that these guys come to play.
		Avalon Cats is a group led by drummer Tom Campbell comprised of musicians who usually play more boppish music: trumpeter Bob Summers, trombonist Les Benedict, Rusty Higgins on reeds, guitarist Larry Koonse, pianist Tom Ranier and bassist Richard Simon.
		But the Avalon Cats give the arrangements a slight wrench so they are not just mere imitations of the originals.

		Avalon's first album earned a nod from the Dove people and garnered them many awards all around, and after listening to this album, it is not hard to figure out why.
		Avalon blends unique harmony with strong lyrics and moving music, but their self-titled debut album does not stand up to its predecessor.
		Avalon is a softer side of the group, focusing more on a quieter, moving music, then the fun upbeat music on their second album.

		And after six studio albums, a best-of project, and even a remix album, the foursome adds Stand to their impressive discography.
		Avalon has embraced the sound built upon by their last album, The Creed, incorporating more organic elements, leaving behind more and more of the synthesizers and drum loops heavily used on previous records like A Maze Of Grace and even parts of Oxygen.
		Almost reminiscent of Avalon classics like "If My People Pray" from In A Different Light, and parts of their self-titled album from 1996, "We Will Stand" sets the theme for this record: standing on God's promise and reaching the world for Jesus with the body of Christ on each arm.

		And while it's certainly a sampling of some of Avalon's best-loved songs, Testify To Love is not your typical greatest hits package.
		Not only is this a collection of some of Avalon's greatest songs, it's actually a collection of 12 No. 1 radio hits – an impressive accomplishment that puts Avalon in an elite group.
		Heading into the studio to record new songs was a bittersweet end to a year that brought sadness with last summer's untimely death of close friend and musical collaborator, Grant Cunningham.

	Avalon Music
		In the spring of 1982, English rockers Roxy Music's farewell album Avalon was released.
		The Avalon album was Roxy Music's only studio album they would record for Warner Bros. here in the States and the first since original drummer Paul Thompson left.
		I have listened to the remastered album thousand of times, but believe me, listening to the SACD album is another dimension and a whole new experience.

		This is a real highlight for the album, and I expect to see it climbing the charts as another number one radio hit.
		Two more tracks from the album that really defined who Avalon was and is come next, “Adonai” and “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”.
		After six albums, a barrage of number one radio singles, a whole collection of awards, and now a greatest hits album, the first chapter in the career of Avalon is coming to a close.

	Avalon interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Their second opus "Mystic Places" is a pretty neat album of melodic heavy/power metal with hints into progressive territory, which can be evaluated from good to excellent depending on your tastes, but which doesn't really break a new ground.
		Still, the music does not have clear analogues, has the diversity and has hooks, the band has ambitions, so why not to take a deeper look into band's point of view regarding their music and German scene in general.
		Avalon have firm roots in rock and traditional metal, but their music is quite modern.

	Discography: Avalon Sunset
		Avalon Sunset picks up with the luxuriant, string-laden sound of that 1987 release and continues Morrison on a path toward increased, if circumscribed, mainstream acceptance.
		Avalon Sunset is also graced by one of Morrison's greatest spiritual anthems, "When Will I Ever Learn to Live in God?," in which the confident exaltations of "Whenever God Shines His Light" give way to self-doubt and yearning.
		The album closes with the stately "These Are the Days," a poetic testament of faith which would not be out of place on Leonard Cohen's Various Positions.

	Roxy Music : Avalon - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Certainly, the lush, elegant soundscapes of Avalon are far removed from the edgy avant-pop of their early records, yet it represents another landmark in their career.
		With its stylish, romantic washes of synthesizers and Bryan Ferry's elegant, seductive croon, Avalon simultaneously functioned as sophisticated make-out music for yuppies and as the maturation of synth pop.
		Ferry was never this romantic or seductive, either with Roxy or as a solo artist, and Avalon shimmers with elegance in both its music and its lyrics.

	Amazon.com: Avalon: Music: Roxy Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Avalon is that album -- it tells a story from the first song to the last, and it definitely takes you on a journey with it.
		After the 1978 reunion album "Manifesto" (Thompson's last with the band), Roxy very clearly became Ferry's vehicle in all respects, with Mackay and Manzanera reduced to the role of "sonic colorists" rather than predominant instrumentalists and arrangers.
		Compared to the earlier albums of the "rock and roll" version of Roxy, "Avalon" is thin, shallow, and unsatisfying: contrast it to "Stranded" and "Country Life" and it just doesn't come of as anything of substance.

	Christopher Cross - Discography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A transitional work in the truest sense, this fascinating fourth album finds Christopher straddling the brightest pop work of his past and the soul-searching writing that was to dominate his albums to come.
		The second album is a bonus for stalwart Cross fans, containing a 74-minute live concert recording in which Christopher performs virtually all of his earlier hits (including “Sailing,” “Ride Like the Wind,” “Arthur’s Theme,” and “Think of Laura”) as well as a generous offering of his lesser-known but excellent mid-period songs.
		This album has dance remixes of "Ride Like the Wind" and "All Right", but is missing the songs from the Walking in Avalon album.

		The album -- which features the worldwide club smash, "Avalon" -- arrived in stores coast to coast on August 30th.
		Tracks such as "Ride The Pain" -- the album's current hit single -- or the raw, romantic "New Shoes" reverberate with extraordinary energy and emotion, introducing Juliet as a mature and provocative singer and songwriter, only just beginning to get in touch with her ample artistic powers.
		As a result, "Avalon" reached the #1 spot on Billboard's "Hot Dance Music/Club Play" chart, as well as the UK's influential DMC Buzz Chart, the weekly ranking of hot club tracks.

		His first album for them was Astral Weeks (which he had already performed in several clubs around Boston), a loose song cycle considered by many to be his best work.
		Released in 1968, the album was critically acclaimed, but received an indifferent response from the public.
		He performed two songs, one of them being "Caravan", from his 1970 album, Moondance; many consider that rendition to be the high point of the concert.

		An audition in Avalon resulted in John being called several months later to go to New York for a recording session under the direction of Lonnie Johnson.

		Sure, the track titles pretty much give away the plot, but the music does such an elegant job that the tracks could be named One, Two, Three, etc. and you would still understand it.
		It's audible, obviously, but the audience is able to remain focused on the action in the film and the characters; the score doesn't distract attention away from the story.
		The song doesn't actually appear in the film anywhere, though she is also the lone female voice heard throughout Holdridge's score.

	Avalon by Roxy Music CD
		On AVALON, the styles that the band had explored in the past--funk, jazz, and rock--come together to create a texture of remarkable subtlety.
		Uncut (9/03, p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The sounds on this, the biggest-selling album of their career, are as avant-garde as anything they'd ever done, just more subtle...
		But this is best suited for play in a dentist's office; sure there are a couple good songs, like the title track, but "More Than This" is one of the most boring & overrated songs ever.

		Great solo album from Brian with many guest musicians as Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Nile Rodgers and so on.
		As with the Avalon album it's just a wee bit over produced (unless you like that kind of thing) but it works pretty darn well here too.
		But really, how you feel about Avalon will be how you feel about the music on this album.
