Review title: Even Great Artists Can Make Bad Records
Product review: In retrospect, the Explorers seem little more than a desperate effort by Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, two of Roxy Music's enduring members, to cash in on what scant public interest remained in the once great Roxy Music. The singer (James Wraith) tries awfully hard to mimic Bryan Ferry and all of his vocal mannerisms.But the biggest problem is the songs themselves are mere shadows of great Roxy songs or even Manzanera's productive solo period (Diamond Head through K-Scope). With the exception of the exciting Crack The Whip, all the songs here are D.O.A. Much too polite and without a whiff of energy or soul.Fortuntely, the Explorers vanished soon thereafter. I've even seen their one studio release repackaged and retitled as Manzanera and McKay.The best news is that Manzanera's Explorer experiment has done nothing to diminish what he had already accomplished over the course of a great career.
