NEM#76: Phil Manzanera's Impossible Guitar

Phil was a core member of Roxy Music through the '70s and early '80s, has released 10+ solo albums since 1975 and many collaborations—appearing on around 80 albums in total—with an experimental yet tasteful guitar that's sometimes mistaken for a keyboard or something else. We discuss "No Church in the Wild" from The Sound of Blue (2015), which is a cover of the song by Jay Z and Kanye West based around a sample from Phil's song "K-Scope" from the album of that name (1970). We then talk about "Wish You Well" from 6:00pm (2004) and the title track from Diamond Head (1975). Finally we listen to "Magdalena" from Live in Japan (2017). Intro music: "Over You" by Roxy Music from Flesh & Blood (1980). For more, visit manzanera.com. Hear more Nakedly Examined Music. Like our Facebook page.
