Podcast appearances and mentions of Phil Manzanera

Folks, we're stretching a bit on this one.  Lynch noticed that Roger Waters performed "The Wall" at the Berlin wall in this month, and used that as an excuse to feature A Momentary Lapse of Reason, which was the latest studio album by Pink Floyd. Since that originally came out in 1987, we're asking you to squint a bit to see it's relevance to the summer of 1990.  That being said...A Momentary Lapse of Reason is the first Pink Floyd album released after bassist and primary songwriter Roger Waters left the band.  Waters had expected that Pink Floyd would simply disband, and was surprised when David Gilmour and Nick Mason decided to continue without him.  Acrimony and lawsuits appeared, but in the end a Water-less Pink Floyd continued on.Unlike many prior Pink Floyd albums, this one is not playing off a single concept.  Instead, it is a more traditional collection of songs.  Gilmour presented the album as a return to earlier Pink Floyd material, which was perhaps a reaction to common critiques of their previous album "The Final Cut" as a Roger Waters solo effort masquerading as a Pink Floyd album.  There are a number of well-known session musicians that participated in the making of this album.The album was a commercial success, debuting at number 3 on both the US and UK albums charts.  The US tour was the most successful of the year, selling out almost every venue it played in the States.  Roger Water's lawsuits would be overcome, and a settlement was reached between Waters and the band by the end of 1987.Lynch brings us this Pink Floyd reboot album for today's podcast and we're joined by guest host Julie Doran joins us on this episode. On the Turning AwayThis power ballad was co-written by Gilmour and British experimental composer Anthony Moore.  It is an anti-war song, one of the more political Pink Floyd songs written since the departure of Waters. It begins with a solemn Gilmour vocal supported by understated keyboards, then builds to an almost orchestral conclusion.  Learning to FlyA surprisingly upbeat song for the group, the inspiration for this first single is David Gilmour's experience learning to fly airplanes.  At the time he would do practice flights in the mornings and work in the studio in the afternoons.  It is also a metaphor for the band coming back together after splitting with Roger Waters.One SlipThe fourth US single discusses the long-term consequences of a one-night stand, and contains the lyrics that would become the title to the album as a whole.  Gilmour co-wrote this song with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera.  Fans of bassist Tony Levin may recognize his work on a Chapman Stick in the instrumentation for this track.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Real Wild Child by Iggy Pop (from the motion picture “Problem Child”)This dark comedy starring John Ritter follows the trials of Ben Healy Jr. as he adopts a less-than-model child from a questionable adoption agency.   STAFF PICKS:Stop by Jane's AddictionWayne leads off the staff picks with a college radio hit off the "Ritual De Lo Habitual" album.  Lead singer Perry Farrell warns about apathy towards environmental disaster, telling people to turn off the smokestacks.  "And the water will run, come a day, the water will run, no man will stand for things he had done."Brave New World by Michael PennRob brings us a jangly deeper cut with a song with rapid fire lyrics off Penn's "March" album.  The song reflects confusion in where the singer is going, perhaps making a commentary on society as it heads into a "brave new world."  "This may not be my best day, but this ain't no golden age.  You looked pretty on the freeway.  Let's drive into the brave new world."Give It Up by Hothouse FlowersBruce features a s song from an Irish group off their second album, "Home."  This song that went to number 2 on the US Modern Rock chart is summed up in the lyrics, "Well, this song's inspired by a good man and his tune doing good for others, sing 'Amazing Grace' for you." Rub You the Right Way by Johnny GillJulie's staff pick is an upbeat hip hop song, and Gill's first single after he left New Edition earlier in the year.  Despite the lyrics, Gill was the son of a minister and got his start in gospel music.  He signed with Motown as a teenager.  Gill had become very accustomed to performing live, and had a difficult time switching to studio work.  Blue Sky Mine by Midnight OilLynch closes out the staff picks with the first single off Midnight Oil's seventh studio album.  The inspiration for the song was the experience of workers in the Wittenoom asbestos mines in western Australia, where they contracted a variety of asbestos-related diseases.  The "blue" in the title refers to "blue asbestos," a form of the mineral considered most hazardous. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Erotic Nightmares by Steve VaiGuitar virtuoso Steve Vai carries us out of this week's podcast.

Phil Manzanera has had a remarkable life. Best known as the lead guitarist in Roxy Music, he's also worked as a writer, producer and/or performer with the likes of David Gilmour, Steve Winwood, Nico, Brian Eno and many more. He's just released a mammoth box set of his solo work which dates back to 1975's “Diamond Head” album. The box, entitled “50 Years Of Music”, comes at a time of reflection for Manzanera. He recently released a memoir, in which he detailed his childhood in Cuba at the time of Batista's overthrow in 1959, and his suspicion that his Dad, who ostensibly worked for BOAC airlines, was actually a spy. Manzanera lived in different parts of the Americas as a child and later went to boarding school at Dulwich College in London. Phil went on to explore his Latin American roots in his music, and another bizarre twist occurred in 2011 when Kanye West and Jay-Z sampled a guitar part from his 1978 “K-Scope” album for their track “No Church In The Wild”. Manzanera has claimed this one sample earned him more money than his entire time in Roxy Music. Anyway, I was sure Phil would have great stories to share and I hope you enjoy our conversation. Visit Manzanera.com for more information on the box set.Instagram: @sendingsignalspodcast

The guitarist Phil Manzanera went from Castro-era Cuba to art-pop's greatest group – Roxy Music; and then saw his work sampled by the giants of hip hop. Over a 50 year career he has seen the music industry change massively and has written it all down in his memoirs “Revolución to Roxy”. He spoke to Chris Cummins.

Where is TIm Finn today? What's the relationship between Tim Finn and Neil Finn? Who did Tim FInn replace in Fleetwood Mac? Answers to all of these questions and more: Tim Finn is renowned for his work with Split Enz, Crowded House, and as a solo artist. His musical journey began in New Zealand, where he developed a passion for music at a young age, inspired by the Beatles and other rock legends. Finn's early years were marked by a relentless pursuit of creativity and a drive to innovate within the music scene. In 1972, Tim Finn co-founded Split Enz with Phil Judd. The band's early days were characterised by their eclectic and theatrical style, which combined elements of art rock, progressive rock, and new wave. Split Enz quickly gained a reputation for their eccentric performances and unique sound, setting them apart in the music industry. Their breakthrough came with the release of "True Colours" in 1980, featuring the hit single "I Got You." This song catapulted them to international fame, topping charts in Australia and New Zealand and gaining significant airplay worldwide. Split Enz continued to enjoy success with several albums that included hits like "One Step Ahead" and "Six Months in a Leaky Boat." Tim Finn's vocals and innovative songwriting were central to the band's success, helping to establish Split Enz as pioneers in the New Zealand music scene. In the mid-80s, Tim joined his brother Neil Finn in Crowded House. He initially contributed to the band's second album which featured tracks like "Into Temptation" and "I Feel Possessed." Tim's involvement added depth to the band's sound, blending his creative prowess with Neil's to produce a series of compelling and emotionally resonant songs. Although his tenure with Crowded House was brief, it was marked by a creative synergy that significantly influenced the band's music. Tim's solo career began in earnest with the release of "Escapade" in 1983. The album was a commercial success, featuring hits like "Fraction Too Much Friction." His solo work allowed him to explore different musical styles and lyrical themes and subsequent albums continued to highlight his innovative approach to music and songwriting. In addition to his solo albums, Tim Finn released "The View Is Worth The Climb" in 2011. His solo work has been characterised by a blend of pop, rock, and folk influences, reflecting his diverse musical background and enduring creative spirit. Tim Finn's collaborative efforts have also been a significant part of his career. He has worked with a range of artists, including Phil Manzanera, https://manzanera.com/new/Eddie Rayner, and Bic Runga. These collaborations have allowed him to explore different musical landscapes and experiment with new sounds, enriching his already diverse body of work. The Finn Brothers project, a collaboration with his brother Neil, resulted in the release of two acclaimed albums. These showcased the brothers' close musical relationship and their ability to create deeply personal and resonant songs. Tracks like "Only Talking Sense" and "Won't Give In" highlighted their unique chemistry and songwriting prowess. Throughout his career, Tim Finn has been recognised for his melodic craftsmanship and lyrical depth. His contributions to music, both as a solo artist and as part of iconic bands like Split Enz and Crowded House, have left an indelible mark on the industry. Finn's ability to blend introspective lyrics with diverse musical styles has inspired generations of musicians and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Phil Manzanera is one of the UK's best-known musicians and record producers, having shot to prominence in the early ‘70's as the lead guitarist with the seminal band, Roxy Music. He is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading guitarists and remains in huge demand.  Roxy Music were inducted into  the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 and recently Phil was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to music. He was born to a British father and Colombian mother and has collaborated with musicians from South and Latin America, South Africa, Cuba and continental Europe. His recent album releases  include The Liberation Project: Songs That Made us Free,  Corroncho 2 and Live in Japan as well as The Ghost from Santiago that he did with Split Enz's Tim Finn. In recent years Phil has co-produced Pink Floyd's ‘The Endless River'. He released, ‘The Sound of Blue', his own autobiographical album, co-produced David Gilmour's new album, ‘Rattle That Lock', toured with Gilmour in the UK, Europe and South America.   In 2015 he was Maestro Concertatore at Italy's largest free festival. He also took part in ‘Sunshine of Your Love' a tribute concert to his friend, Jack Bruce. Phil's musical influence stretches far and wide, but even he was taken by surprise when his guitar riff from 1978's K-Scope was sampled by Jay Z and Kanye West and became the Grammy winning smash hit ‘No Church in the Wild' the first track on their multi-million selling album, ‘Watch The Throne'. At 73, Phil is now in his fourth decade as a professional musician.  He joined Roxy Music in 1972, aged 21,  as lead guitarist. Roxy's rise was meteoric, with the band being hailed as the stylistic influence of the early 1970's. During the next 12 years, until 1983 when the band members went on a ‘long break', Roxy Music released a series of international best selling albums, achieving ten UK top ten albums and touring extensively throughout the world. The 18 year hiatus ended in 2001 with a critically acclaimed, sellout 52-date world tour featuring Bryan Ferry, Andy MacKay and Paul Thompson. The world rediscovered Roxy Music. In the summer of 2003 Roxy again played in the US and Europe. 2010 saw Roxy Music thrilling fans at Festivals in the UK, Europe and Japan, which was followed by a Winter UK tour, and dates in Australia and New Zealand.  As a writer, producer and solo artist, Phil Manzanera has worked with many of the luminaries of modern music, such as Steve Winwood, David Gilmour, John Cale, Godley and Creme, Nico (Velvet Underground) and John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia). He has co-written material with many artists, including Brian Eno, Tim Finn and David Gilmour. Phil co-wrote Pink Floyd's single ‘One Slip'from their 1988 ‘Momentary Lapse of Reason' album. He has recently been awarded an OBE. Phil joins us this week to share his amazing story.

"Revolución to Roxy" Yes, the London-born guitarist and producer Phil Manzanera is part of one of the greatest bands of all time, but that really isn't the story. It's just part of it. Like, 10% of it. Which is crazy when you think of the cultural impact of Roxy Music, but the fact is, Manzanera has lived an interesting life that goes far beyond his tenure in an influential rock and roll band. His book Revolucion to Roxy explains everything and after you hit the first chapter you'll see his origin story isn't a simple one. He covers being multi-racial, traveling around the world as a kid and witnessing actual revolutions in Cuba and Venezuala, being sent to a posh boarding school, and the sudden death of his father. And all that happened before he was fifteen. An old story is a guy picks up a guitar and his life changes and that's for sure a big part of the story here, but the long-time history buff only started to understand why he was drawn to music in the first place years later. It turns out that Manzanera is a direct descendent of an Italian opera singer. And a Jewish pirate. I'm not joking. But the more he digs, the more answers start to show up that form an historical polaroid that's still coming into focus. Revolucion To Roxy is a brilliant read, filled with narrative velocity and authorial poise, but it's also the story of a guy who's figuring out who he is in real time. And the reverse engineering is as surprising to him as it is to us. For example, his dad worked for the British Overseas Airway Corporation. Or did he? Being drawn to music was free will. Or was it? You get the idea. Revolucion To Roxy is a marvelous blast of biography and self-examination and it really explores the idea that history is shooting through our DNA and even if you ignore it, it's going to tap you on the shoulder and point you wherever it wants. www.manzanera.com wwwwww.roxymusic.co.uk www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.bombshellradio.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Phil Manzanera – who thought “every day in the band felt like Christmas” – has just published his memoir, Revolución to Roxy, and talked to us about it in front of a rammed and captivated audience at London's 21Soho, an evening so full of detail, intrigue and revelation we're putting it out as two podcasts. This is the second. He lifts the bonnet of the Roxy Music “art collective” in its various line-ups and shows you how the engine worked and why the idea of Eno onstage was “frightening”. He remembers working with a whole range of people – David Gilmour, Robert Wyatt, Heroes De Silencia, Quiet Sun, 801, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Jack Bruce and Tim Finn among them. He talks about the five seconds of guitar he knocked off in 1975 that's made him “more money than all my Roxy earnings put together”. He reflects – and very poignantly – that bands never talk to each other and how he hopes the other members read his memoir as they'll discover things about him they never knew. And he tells the fantastic story of the Guitar Legends festival in Seville and the way he managed Bob Dylan.   And you can order a copy of ‘Revolución to Roxy' here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revoluci%C3%B3n-Roxy-Phil-Manzanera/dp/1783242817Subscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Phil Manzanera – whose relatives include a Colombian pirate, a spy and an Italian opera musician - has just published his memoir, Revolución to Roxy, and talked to us about it in front of a packed and enthralled house at London's 21Soho, a life so fascinating, detailed and colourful we're releasing the conversation as a two-part podcast. Here's Part One which looks back at an exotic childhood in Hawaii, Caracas and Cuba – with first-hand memories of Castro's revolution in 1959 – and then his school days, early bands (the Drag Alley Beach Mob, Pooh & the Ostrich Feathers, Quiet Sun), the audition for Roxy Music, how they were styled, supporting David Bowie and their rapid and eventful ascent to the first hit single. When he joined the band, he said, “every day felt like Christmas”.

In this episode, Phil & I discuss: The real story behind how Phil acquired that bug-eyed glasses look; The decidedly un-weird song with which Phil auditioned for Roxy; And why exactly he primarily connects mainly with the first 3 Roxy Music albums.

Long before the Twilight books and movies made vampires cool, the motion picture The Lost Boys was a hit.  This dark comedy/action drama centers around Michael and Sam Emerson and their experiences with a biker gang who are secretly vampires living in the California beach town of Santa Carla.  When Michael is drawn into the influence of the vampires, he must make a choice between becoming a vampire himself or fighting the conversion by killing the head vampire.  The name comes from the Peter Pan stories, because much like the lost boys in that tale, vampires never grow up.  The cast included Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim, and Corey Feldman, and was a box office hit.The film also created a hit with The Lost Boys:  Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.  Featuring a number of notable rock stars and groups including INXS, Foreigner's Lou Gramm, Echo & the Bunnymen, and The Who's Roger Daltrey, it spawned multiple singles.  The soundtrack contains both original songs and covers, all either alluding to events in the movie or to what could be considered “vampire culture” - lostness, staying up at night, and similar characteristics.  The film is credited for changing the perception of vampires to a more youthful and appealing monster.  Subsequent adaptations of the vampire genre which would be inspired by the film include movies as diverse as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the mockumentary film “What We Do in the Shadows.”John Lynch was up all night “staking his claim” on this podcast feature. Cry Little Sister by Gerard McMannSinger-songwriter Gerard McMahon wrote this anthem under the pseudonym Gerard McMann.  It would be considered the theme for the movie, and was specifically written for the film.  McMann was thinking of a Gotham-like image in which you have to turn to faith in order to escape the doom in the night.Lost in the Shadows by Lou GrammGramm steps out from the shadows of his group Foreigner for this solo effort.  The video for this song would feature clips from the film.  Fuzzy guitar distortion and harmonica drive this deep cut, and was also written specifically for the movie.  Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me by Roger DaltreyThe Elton John hit is covered by Who front man Daltrey, and the allusion to vampires is pretty clear to see.  The film ends with morning breaking and the sun coming up, and Daltrey is singing this song as the credits roll.I Still Believe by Tim CappelloThe Call's song is covered by saxophonist Cappello, who also makes a cameo where he is playing the song on the boardwalk.  The lyrics are about the 40 days of fasting that Jesus undertook at the start of His ministry, and the reference to belief plays into the theme of faith versus giving into darkness that runs through this film. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Once Upon a Time...Storybook Love by Mark Knopfler (from the motion picture “The Princess Bride”) It would be inconceivable for us to pass up this theme from the Rob Reiner movie which was in the theaters in the fall of 1987.  STAFF PICKS:One Slip by Pink Floyd After the departure of Roger Waters, Pink Floyd released the album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" with only David Gilmour and Nick Mason listed as members.  Bruce brings us this staff pick which was co-written by Gilmour and Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music.  It is about unintended consequences of impulsive action, in this case an unintended pregnancy. Hourglass by SqueezeRob features the debut single from Squeeze's seventh album, “Babylon and On.”  The fast-paced chorus is distinctive and catchy.  Songwriters Chris Dilford and Glenn Tilbrook typically wrote the lyrics and music respectively in separate sessions (much like Bernie Taupin and Elton John), but collaborated in the same room on this song.  The memorable video is full of surrealism and optical illusions.Luka by Suzanne Vega Wayne takes an uncharacteristically softer and slower pick with singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega's song about child abuse.  The song was actually written prior to Vega's first album but didn't make its studio debut until her second album, “Solitude Standing."” The name comes from a boy who played in front of Vega's building and stood apart from the other children.  Bad by Michael JacksonLynch brings us the title track to Michael Jackson's massively successful follow-up album to “Thriller.”  Jackson wrote this song in an attempt to change his persona to a tough guy.  The video was directed by Martin Scorsese, and Prince auditioned for the video.  He departed as soon as he read the line, "your butt is mine," and Wesley Snipes would take the role.   NOVELTY TRACK:Wipeout by the Fat Boys featuring The Beach BoysWe finish off with this unlikely pairing of beatbox rappers of the 80's and beach music founders of the 60's.
