In Every Dream Home, A Heart Ache

Brian Ferry and Roxy Music's homage to the great British Pop Artist,

Richard Hamilton. The collage, In Every Dream Home A Heart Ache is one of the iconic pieces of 60's pop art. What an incredible visionary band this was, outside of time, so out side of any style that they created their own style. Hamilton was one of Ferry's teachers in college. Brian Eno was a creature from another planet who instinctively manipulated the sound of the band with primitive technology: toggle switch controlled analogue synths, synching the band through an 8 track recorder live and then hand manipulating the tape live to create effects.  The interplay of the great Venezuelan guitarist, Ray Manzanera and Eno is pretty incredible in itself. The song is a study in post modern isolationism. The vacuum of the modern world, a love dirge to an inflatable sex toy...but then again, the punch line of the song, alone, "I blew up your body, but you blew my mind" is perhaps one of the greatest moments in pop music poetry you'll ever hear....
