Had something distanced myself since lousy "As Times Goes By" and other mediocre publications of the works of Bryan Ferry. However, I could not resist at the current price of just under 4 euros in 2010 released album "Olympia" to buy, although me the auditions were not impressed. Even after I held the album in hands and the first passage had taken place, I was not impressed much. Frightened by the aged but now and somewhat brittle, brittle voice of Bryan Ferry, which is more breathy, yet happen rather enveloped in sound appear in the songs. Song sequences had settled in my mind that I will start another pass. And there also came before the first time the eye - opener. Initially believed disharmony enpuptt suddenly as Excellent concerted harmony in the now brittle voice of Bryan Ferry is understated, elegant embedded. "You Can Dance" not let go of me and also "Alphaville" convinced me. Other highlights are "Me Oh My" just "No Face, No Name, No Number", "Reason Or Rhyme" and the wonderful "Tender is the Night". The highlight for me is "Shameless", absolutely shameless, disarmingly, a bravura. "BF Bass" is the weakest song on the album. "Olympic" is not going to open up the listener certainly hear the first, the need 3-4 passages but after that it will still give a lot to discover on the album. A cool, elegant work of Bryan Ferry and for "Boys And Girls" one of his best. 5 stars !!!
