This is probably my third favorite Bryan Ferry CD, following "Boys and Girls" and "Bte Noire." It maintains the atmospheric production of those two CD's (this time courtesy of Robin Trower) and also ponies up with some great writing from Ferry.The players all pitch in with great work. Old Roxy friends Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Brian Eno contribute to most of the songs, along with notable musicians like Maceo Parker, Nile Rodgers and Pino Paladino. They all pile on rich, lush layers of sound, buoying Ferry's timeless tenor. While "Mamouna" is probably one of Ferry's lesser known albums, I probably return to this one more that, for instance, "Taxi" or "Frantic." If you prefer Ferry's work in the "Avalon" era, then "Mamouna" will probably be to your tastes.
