1994 studio album by Bryan Ferry
Mamouna Bryan Ferry , released on Virgin Records first on 31 August 1994 in Japan and then on 5 September in the UK. It was Ferry's first album of original material in seven years and he spent six years writing and recording it, under the working title Horoscope . The album peaked at number 11 on the UK Albums Chart.
The album features contributions from former members of Ferry's band Roxy Music , including Brian Eno who left the band in 1973.
Critical reception [ edit ]
Reviewing for AllMusic , critic Ned Raggett wrote of the album: “There are some songs of note — ‘The 39 Steps’ has a slightly menacing vibe to it, appropriate given the cinematic reference of the title, while the Ferry/Eno collaboration ‘Wildcat Days’ displays some of Eno’s old synth-melting flash. Overall, though, Mamouna is pleasant without being involving.”[2]
