Robin Trower? where?

Mamouna............very little to say, except...this is a GREAT Recording for Bryan Ferry and...Robin Trower. Yes. Robin Trower is producing this album with Ferry, and you can feel Trower's presence in every single song.
To sum what I can say about this album:
If you like Roxy Music; specifically "Avalon" and "Flesh and Blood",
If you are a fan of Bryan Ferry,
If you are into Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" or his guitar riffs and melodic touches,
This is like putting those 2 artists in a Blender and coming out with Mamouna
This fantastic album is highly recommended.
This album has been in my CD player for 2 days in a row, to me it is like a brand new album for Trower as well as Ferry. Two in one. Can't get any better.

Oh, Mamouna-momma!

Bryan Ferry scores yet again, this time with all originals. How does the man do it? Very well, thank you. August 21, 2007

Ferry at his finest

This is probably my third favorite Bryan Ferry CD, following "Boys and Girls" and "Bête 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. April 3, 2007

Takes You Away

I have long been a fan of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. This album is a real experience, beyond the jaunty, glam rock of the 70s and early 80s. There is a surreal feeling to this music. It's best listened to in an environment where it can truly be absorbed. Bryan Ferry's voice, of course, has a quality that is hard to explain, and with this great background music, it truly resonates to the ethereal.

It's the kind of album that you listen to a few times, then put it away for a few months, then do it again. Each time you will be amazed at the power of this incredible music experience. It is a beautifully constructed album, in that the music builds on itself to a great climax, then the amazing, haunting denouement of Chain Reaction just carries you away.

I cannot recommend Mamouna highly enough for Bryan Ferry/Roxy fans, or anyone else who likes stylish, inventive pop music creations. June 15, 2006

Another Bryan Ferry Must-have

I still listen to this album frequently. I am a lover of Bryan Ferry's music and this album, in my opinion, comes very close to the feel of Boys and Girls and Avalon. Bete Noire is a more upbeat album.

What I love about Mamouna is that it is "chill" music. Listening to it evokes something haunting and mysterious to me. My all-time favourite song is the closing track, "Chain Reaction". Try listening to this song while lying in the dark. I absolutely can't get enough of it.

This is a great collection of original music from Ferry. If you're a fan, get out there and pick this one up. You won't be disappointed. June 10, 2005
