Roxy Music: Dance Away Single Review

Author unknown

Melody Maker, 1979

---

Undoubtedly one of the best cuts off "Manifesto" -- which, despite all its shortcomings, deserves a healthy thumbs-up. A kind of midtempo ballad that cross-fertlises disco and reggae, it has a wonderfully lilting and incisive grace. Bryan sings with bags of wracked sentiment about nothing much in particular, and everyone meshes with stirring precision. Go on, give 'em a hit.
