The carefully indiscreet Leo Abrahams has once again given a tantalizing insight into his continuing work with Bryan Ferry. In his latest blog post, in which he also shows his appreciation of Brian Eno, he offers these few meagre crumbs to we slavering Roxy Music fans...

I did a couple of sessions at Bryan Ferry's studio, working on some new material for I-know-not-what-exactly. There were lots of chaotic but promising bits on various tapes and I was helping sort them out and get them into shape. Again I found Bryan tremendous fun to be with in the studio. He flits in and out of the room a lot, which means he is a constant source of fresh perspective, but when he is particular about something you have his undivided attention until it is correct. I had him dancing around the studio a few times and that felt very good indeed. There was an interesting couple of hours working on a remix of 'Casanova'; I got to hear the original vocals with the music stripped away, and bloody hell they're good. Such an idiosyncratic and detailed delivery.

It's good to hear such appreciative observations of the Great Man in his natural environment, a further indication of the high regard his colleagues and peers have for his studio work. Good also to hear that his enthusiasm and attention to detail have persisted into his seventh decade. Let's just hope that the seemingly Sisyphean task of assembling this work into some semblance of order eventually comes to some kind of fruition.
