Roxy Music swordsman Phil Manzanera gets props for not aping Bryan Ferry's nocturnal croon on his solo efforts. And also for fitting some sweet guitar moves into this equally sweet '70s groover. The bits right before and after the solo just melt me, though I'm just as drawn to the giddy ride cymbal gallop in the outro.
Not that that it's an anniversary post or anything, but it's worth noting that this gem comes courtesy of the same man who supplied Songblague's inaugural track. Memories...if you can remember them.
