5 out of 5 stars This is one collection to love........2004-10-08

Bryan is one of my all time favorite singers of all time. He is a great musician and has created some of the best music that I have ever listened to.

This CD is a collection of ballads from both his solo albums and from his band Roxy Music's albums. There are two songs that were previously unreleased as well as the Princess Diana tribute track Sonnet No. 18.

The songs vary from very simple in the likes of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, to jazzy like that of These Foolish Things, to rock-oriented in the likes of Is Your Love Strong Enough which is one of the best songs Bryan Ferry has ever made. It could fit well on his masterpiece Bete Noire. There are even two songs from his 1999 album As Time Goes By(I have since come to like it some) which have a very 30s or 40s vibe to them.

My favorite songs are Avalon, Is Your Love Strong Enough, Zamba, These Foolish Things, Windswept and the unforgettable Slave To Love.

The truth is this entire CD contains unforgettable songs that will never die in my opinion. I have enjoyed Bryan Ferry's music for about seven years( I,m 19 years old but I hate alot of todays artists). Bete Noire made me a fan of Bryan.

The thing though I kind don't like about these so called "Best Of" CDs is it kind of feels like the record executives are trying to cash in on the Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music fanbases( I don't need "Avalon, Slave To Love, or Smoke Gets In Your Eyes on like ten or so CDs).

But anyway I love this CD and i now have about five CDs by Ferry. I plan on getting his remastered early albums sometime soon.

Personally I feel glad I have this great collection of great ballads from a great singer. I recommend buying it for casual fans. This album is worth having just for Is Your Love Strong Enough with it's haunting ambient intro and the ambient rock guitar aways and for the great cover version of the classic Crazy Love.

5 out of 5 stars Slave to Love - Very Best of the Ballads.......2000-06-14

Having been a fan of Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music for over 20 years now. I have gotten all the albums & compilations. As well as having made numerous mix tapes. The one tape I never got around to making was what for the most part is represented here with this import compilation. Spanning from his first solo lp (in 1973) up to his latest, as well as a few Roxy nuggets. "Just like You" is one of those tracks that just had to be on here! Also included are a couple of non-lp tracks: "Crazy Love" from the 'Bride stripped Bare' sessions in 1978, and "He'll have to Go" from 1988 and previously issued on the 1993 compilation 'The Ultimate Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music'. But both have also been available on japanese imports. You also have the hits and the classics. So whether you're a hopeless or hopefull romantic, you can't go wrong with any of these. You want the make-out album for the millenium? Stop here and buy now.
