Reviewby Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less
experimental, yet it remained adventurous, as Stranded
illustrates. Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy
moved toward relatively straightforward territory,
adding greater layers of piano and heavy guitars. Even
without the washes of Eno's synthesizers, Roxy's music
remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new
incarnation, they favor more measured material, whether
it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting
textures of "Psalm." Even the rockers, such as the
surging "Street Life" and the segmented "Mother of
Pearl," are distinguished by subtle songwriting that
emphasizes both Ferry's tortured glamour and Roxy's
increasingly impressive grasp of sonic detail.
