4.0 out of 5 stars Roxy Music sax meister's journey into the orient, June 25, 2000

This review is from: Resolving Contradictions (Audio CD)

I can't believe it's now available on CD! I highly recommend this one to anyone into the Roxy Music early solo efforts(Phil Manzanera/801/Eno/ Explorers, etc). This isn't like his first solo album, 'In Search Of Eddie Riff', nor is it mere instrumental noodling. Mr. Mackay provides here something of an instrumental concept album about Red China. This is one of Roxy's more progressive ventures- a lot of depth and scope here. It may take a few listens, but well worth the effort. He and Manzanera need to do something like this again. Bonus tracks are here as well. Try it.
