Bete Noir was released in 1987 not 2004. Ahead of it's time and it had the brilliant 'The Right Stuff' with Johnny Marr (based on a Smiths instrumental) and 'Kiss and Tell'.

That guitar sound is so unmistakably 80s.

Long, long way from here to Avalon. . . .

Another thing the '80s did was turn music video into a movie, sometimes a arty one at that.
We had Utravox's Vienna and The Human League's Don't you want me and Bronski Beats Smalltown Boy music videos showing a story as well as the lyrics to name a few. Before that most videos had the bands or solo act just standing there in a studio.
And Video killed the radio star.

Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music are proof that a lot of 70s music didn't suck

Slap bass tastic! Love it
Don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone so 80s before in my life

Ja, agree. This time is the proof of adapted yuppy crap. But: he adapted it in his own translation. So leave it or love it was/is your choice, only. And so I compromised.
Most 80's music did suck,(and I speak as a child of the time, WFNX Boston rocked then). Ferry's voice is very good, BUT! this song sure is a solid "3" by my rating, (ho-hum as they sei). Could it be the production style of the time.
I would love to hear "Avalon"once more. (shall I buy it from iTunes)

brian ferry's voice reminds me when I was a boy and listen his songs at the radio...and I used to like them.... but I think that this one is not one of his best.....

Good thing the disc's copy controlled or it might breed and make more of this boring crud. If Howard Jones' work from the 80's were sung while yawning, that would define most of Bryan Ferry's stuff. Ho hum, for sure.

Ferry's voice is amazing. Put on Avalon for a lover sometime and tell me it's not so.
God how that 80's production is outdated.
One thing is the choice of sounds, I can live with tha, but the unmotivated disguise of a poor tune in a blur of misc. effects makes me wanna sue Yes for ever releasing "Owner of a lonely heart" 
Close enough, Rohan and Shemp.
Yes. Shemp. As Steward of Rohan. I seriously need help.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise! This was the very first Bryan Ferry compact disc I bought, back in 87!
