I-Roxy Music yigama elaziwa kakhulu kubalandeli bomdlalo we-rock waseBrithani. Leli bhendi elidumile belikhona ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene kusukela ngo-1970 kuya ku-2014. Iqembu laliphuma esiteji ngezikhathi ezithile, kodwa ekugcineni libuyele emsebenzini walo futhi.
Ukuzalwa kweRoxy Music
Umsunguli weqembu kwakunguBryan Ferry. Ekuqaleni kwawo-1970, wayesekwazile ukuzizama emisebenzini eminingi yokudala (hhayi kanjalo). Ikakhulukazi, wasebenza njengomculi, umshayeli futhi wazama ezinye izici eziningi. Ngaze ngabona ukuthi ngingathanda ukwenza umculo. Wayethanda i-rock, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo wayephupha ngokuyihlanganisa nesigqi kanye ne-blues ne-jazz.
Inhloso ngaleso sikhathi yayicishe ingenzeki - abasebasha baseBrithani babethanda ama-psychedelics. UFerry waqala uhambo lwakhe olujabulisayo nelinye lamabhendi endawo. Nokho, ngokushesha kwaphela. Futhi le nsizwa yaba uthisha esikoleni sendawo somculo. Kodwa kwavela inkinga entsha - wathola umsebenzi lapho hhayi ukuze afundise abantu, kodwa ukubafuna. Ikakhulukazi, le nsizwa yayihlela njalo ukuhlolwa kwabafundi bendawo, okwathi kamuva yaxoshwa.
Ekupheleni kuka-1970, uFerry wahlangana nabantu abanomqondo ofanayo, ababethanda ukuzama umculo njengaye. Ngakho kwasungulwa iqembu le-Roxy Music. Ngo-1971, abafana bakha iqoqo lokuqala lamademo. Wayenemisebenzi eminingana eyinhloko. Okokuqala, "jwayelana" nomunye futhi ucije amakhono akho, thola isitayela sakho. Okwesibili, ama-demo bekufanele adlale indima ye-promo yeqembu. Amakhasethi asakazwa kubantu ababehlangene nabadidiyeli.
Ukukhishwa kwaleli cwecwe akuthandwanga ngabalaleli, kodwa kwavusa isasasa kubaphathi bezinkampani zokuqopha. Ngo-1972, ukuhlolwa kokuqala kwenzeka e-EG Management studio. Ngemva kokukhipha izingoma ezimbalwa, abafana basayine isivumelwano sokukhulula i-albhamu yobude obugcwele.
Ukukhishwa kwaqoshwa kungakapheli amasonto amabili kwesinye sezitudiyo zaseLondon. Ngemva kwalokho, u-Anthony Price owaziwayo, umklami wemfashini odumile, owaziwa ngezithombe ezicasulayo aziqambile, waqala ukubambisana neqembu. Lapho abafana bewela ezandleni zakhe, nabo babenjalo. Intengo idalwe ukubukeka kanye nezingubo eziningi ezingavamile zokwenziwa kwazo kwesikhathi esizayo.
Ukushintsha ilebula
I-Roxy Music inqume ukukhipha irekhodi lesibili, kodwa ngenxa yezizathu eziningi bafuna ilebula entsha. Abaculi bakhetha i-Island Records. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ekuqaleni iqembu alizange lenze lutho ekhanda lenkampani.
Nokho, emasontweni ambalwa kamuva isivumelwano sasayinwa. I-Roxy Music (leli kwakuyigama lokukhululwa) yaba impumelelo eqenjini. Yathengiswa ngezinkulungwane zamakhophi, izingoma zashaya amashadi amakhulu aseBrithani. Futhi leli qembu lithole ithuba lokuvakashela futhi lihlanganyele ezinhlelweni ezahlukene zethelevishini.
Iphupho likaFerry laqala ukufezeka. Uhlanganise izinhlobo eziningana futhi wathakasela umlaleli kulokhu. Abagxeki baphawule inhlanganisela eyimpumelelo yezinhlobo ezimbalwa zomculo we-rock, i-jazz ne-folk. Bekukusha futhi kuthakazelisa izethameli. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi kamuva leli rekhodi elithile labizwa ngokuthi elinye labanethonya elikhulu emhlabeni womculo we-rock. Ngokusho kwezintatheli, kwaba impumelelo yangempela - isinyathelo esiya esikhathini esizayo.
Impumelelo yeqembu
Kwaqala uhambo olukhulu, olwaluhambisana nemithwalo ephezulu. Ngo-1972, uFerry walahlekelwa izwi ngenxa yokugula. Ukuvakasha kudingeke ukuthi kumiswe ukuze lowo oculayo ahlinzwe. Emasontweni ambalwa kamuva, isimo sabuyela kwesijwayelekile, iqembu laphinde laya e-USA namakhonsathi. Kodwa ikhefu elingazelelwe ezenzweni liye lazizwa. Izithameli bezingakakulungeli ukwamukela abaculi ngemfudumalo.
Khona-ke ithimba laqala ngenkuthalo ukudala ukukhululwa okusha. I-For Your Pleasure isibe ngomunye wemisebenzi eqashelwa kakhulu yeqembu. Izivivinyo ezintsha zomsindo, amatimu angagwegwesi (okufanele kube yingoma eyodwa kuphela ekhuluma nothando lwendoda ngonodoli ophephethekayo).
Ngisho ngenxa yezithombe ezenziwe nguPrice, leli qembu liqhubekile nokushaqisa izethameli. Ngakho-ke, isibonelo, bengafuni ukufana nawo wonke umuntu, banikeze izingxoxo futhi benza esiteji ngezingubo ze-1950s. Konke lokhu kwandisa isithakazelo eqenjini emphakathini (ikakhulukazi abantu abasha abahlale benesithakazelo kokuthile okungavamile). I-albhamu ithathe isikhundla esiphambili kumashadi aseYurophu. E-UK, ingene kwabangu-5 abahamba phambili (ngokuvumelana neshadi likazwelonke eliyinhloko).
Ukuphenduka kokuqala eqenjini
Kanye nempumelelo, kwaba nezenzakalo ezimbi. Ikakhulukazi, uBrian Eno washiya iqembu. Njengoba kwaziwa, isizathu kwaba izingxabano njalo phakathi kwakhe nomholi weqembu - Ferry. Ikakhulukazi, u-Eno wahlazisa ngaso sonke isikhathi, akazange amnikeze inkululeko yokudala futhi, ngokusho kwemithombo ethile, waze wamhawukela ukuthi izintatheli zikhetha ukuxoxisana nokusebenza noBrian kaningi. Konke lokhu kuholele ekubeni kube nokunye ukuhlehla ekuqanjweni kwayo.
Iqembu linqume ukungagcini lapho futhi lakhipha izingoma ezimbili ezintsha ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ama-albhamu e-Stranded kanye ne-Country Life aphinde afinyelela izethameli futhi ashaya zonke izinhlobo eziphezulu. I-Stranded icwecwe elingagcini nje ngokushaya phezulu kwabangu-5 eshadini eliyinhloko lase-UK, kodwa lathatha indawo yoku-1 futhi lahlala lapho isikhathi eside.
Ngokukhululwa okufanayo, leli qembu lathola ukuqashelwa okulindelwe isikhathi eside e-USA - manje kwakungenzeka ukuvakashela kuleli zwe ngaphandle kokwesaba ukuthi ikhonsathi ngeke iqoqe ngisho nengxenye yababukeli. Abagxeki baphinde bancoma ukukhishwa, bekubiza ngokuthi ngelinye lama-albhamu e-rock ahamba phambili aphuma ngeminyaka yawo-1970.
Igagasi elisha lempumelelo ye-Roxy Music
U-1974 kwaba unyaka oyimpumelelo kakhulu eqenjini. Konke kwaqala ngohambo olukhulu olwaluhlanganisa amazwe ase-Europe naseMelika. Ngaphezu kwalokho, cishe bonke ababambiqhaza bakwazi ukukhulula i-solo disc eyodwa, nayo eyaphumelela kakhulu. Ngokwehlukana, ukuthandwa komculi oyinhloko, uBryan Ferry, kwanda. Waba inkanyezi yangempela, futhi ukuthandwa kwanda kuphela nyanga zonke.
Kwakuyisikhathi esihle kakhulu sokukhipha irekhodi elisha leqembu. Ngakho kwaphuma i-albhamu ethi Country Life. Abafana baqhubeka nokuhlola ngenkuthalo izitayela nezinsimbi, bazama ngokwabo ekuhlanganeni kwezinhlobo ezahlukene.
Bazama ukuthuthukisa izinga labo lekhwalithi. Kodwa-ke, naphezu kwazo zonke izinzuzo, i-albhamu yayingathandwa kakhulu eYurophu kunangaphambili. Kodwa-ke, lapho ikhishwa ngokwehlukana e-US, yafinyelela inombolo 3 eshadini leBillboard elidumile.
Ukuphazamiseka nokunqanyulwa kwemisebenzi
Ngemva kokukhululwa kwama-albhamu okuqala aphumelelayo, kwaba khona ikhefu lokudala, lapho abaculi ngamunye behlanganyela ekudaleni imisebenzi yabo eyedwa. Kusukela lapho, iqembu liye lahlangana ngezikhathi ezithile ukuze lithole amakhonsathi amasha nezinto zokuqopha. I-albhamu yokugcina yakhululwa ngo-1982 futhi yayibizwa ngokuthi i-Avalon. Ibhendi yadlala naye izinkambo ezimbalwa eziphumelelayo futhi yahlukana futhi.
Ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokugubha iminyaka engu-30, iqembu le-Roxy Music lahlangana futhi ukuze lenze uchungechunge lwamakhonsathi. Kusukela ngo-2001 kuya ku-2003 bahamba baya emadolobheni aseYurophu naseMelika. Okurekhodiwe bukhoma ekugcineni kwakhishwa kwidiski ehlukile.
Yize bekunolwazi lokuthi abaculi baphinde bahlangana estudiyo ukuze baqophe ngokuhlanganyela, abalandeli abazange bayizwe i-albhamu entsha. Kusukela ngo-2014, wonke amalungu abephishekela imisebenzi eyedwa futhi aveze ukuthi awasafuni ukusebenza ndawonye.
