The 'In' Crowd · Bryan Ferry

[1974]One of those songs that nobody ever says is the greatest but...What a sound! The louche lounge lizard with one of the heaviest and most guitar-centric things he ever did.The 'In' Crowd is an old 60s soul tune that Ferry renders unrecognisable with this glorious racket. Also preempts Bowie's plastic soul periodWait for the 3:18 moment when the guitars go bananas, well the whole song gets wonderfully unhinged at this point and doesn't let up til the end. He really was doing something different, I don't think they've named whatever this is properly yet. It's hard to pin down while somewhat psychedelic it's heavy, dark and dramatic, seedy yet glamorous, and obtuse, arty and intense as well as being hypnotic funky sleazoid music for soundtracking disreputable discotheques everywhere.Play it again Sam.
