I think you posted the wrong clip. that's just a dry interview followed by Roxy playing The Strand.

Killer! How different must have that been to what was around at the time, or now for that matter. Some of those guys play on here come the warm jets, taking tiger mountain by stategy etc.? Atleast the guitar player right?

Phil Manzanera played on Eno’s solo Lps, & Eno played on Phil’s. After Eno left Roxy the band members remained friendly & worked together. The only animosity was btween Eno & Ferry (arguable the two biggest egos in the band).

List of Roxy Music members who played on Eno solo albums:

Here Come The Warm Jets
Phil Manzanera - guitar
Andy Mackay – keyboards & sax
Paul Thompson - drums & percussion

Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)
Phil Manzanera - guitar
Andy Mackay - brass

Before And After Science
Phil Manzanera - guitar

Eno & Phil Manzanera were in the band 801, & Eno showed up on Phil’s albums Diamond Head, & Queit Sun: Mainstream.

There's probably more to find...

I may be wrong but, It's strange like the way we did music at that time with modular analog synths with plenty of knobs, buttons and patching with wires_ only re-emerges now in computers.

I mean it has always been there but not so obviously as now.
I.e. monome and all the crazy apps doing with max/msp, The incoming max4live off course and even cool effects some guys work on and spread generously over the web_ Dblueglitch, livecut, glitchSequencer and so forth.

Happy to live in this time, so much cool stuffs in music, a great adventure I would say :lol:
