STRANDED -by Iman Lababedi

My sister Nadia just called from Scotland, she was worried and me? I just wasted an hour of my life trying to get to the subway.
My girlfriend isn’t amused either. But she was pissed when i went to Spiderman yesterday. Whatever. I wanna listen to music and why not Roxy Music’s Stranded?
The album was released in 1973 and I haven’t heard it in years. It is a weirdly artifact. I mean what do you make of the country synth nitedream “Psalm”? Begining with hit single “Street Life” it miasmas through worlds of strangeness and otherness. It’s like glam without the gamour.
Break it down thus:
Masterpiece:
Mother Of Pearl
Street Life
1st tier:
Psalm
Mother of Pearl
So that’s half an excellent album. the rest? Phil isn’t Bryan though they don’t miss Eno and you’d think they would.
All these years later? The segue into “Mother Of Pearl” is still pretty wow.
