Almost since the first Roxy Music album in 1973, frontman Bryan Ferry had had a concurrent solo career that morphed from almost campy lounge into ultimately-suave decadence--while the band arrived there after starting as glam-rockers. Shortly after these two evolutions met, Roxy Music disbanded and Ferry continued on. Heavily skewed toward this later period in Ferry's career, MORE THAN THIS examines the highly polished, slick sophistication that he perfected on the AVALON album.

The band's brilliant first single "Virginia Plain," the frankly rather wacky version of Dylan's "A Hard Rains a-Gonna Fall," and the solid grooves of the story-song "Love Is the Drug" are all from the early years, but the focus here is really on the diamond-hard, funky jazz-rock that became the Ferry's true forte--tracks like "Dance Away" and "Angel Eyes." Though the two songs from AVALON--"More Than This" and the title track--included here eclipse most of Ferry's other work, "Slave to Love," "Oh Yeah," and "Same Old Scene" are all certifiable masterpieces. After AVALON, Ferry's solo recordings, including "Kiss and Tell" (from BETE NOIRE) and his cover version of "I'm in the Mood for Love" (from AS TIME GOES BY), have successfully refined ideas from those tracks.
