Bryan Ferry's Olympia began as a Roxy Music reunion album, the "follow-up" to 1982's Avalon. That said, it becomes Ferry's first album of new material in eight years and features contributions from original Roxy Music members Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, and Andy Mackay -- his first recorded collaboration with those musicians since 1973's For Your Pleasure. Released on Astralwerks, the set also includes guest spots from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, Gary "Mani" Mounfield of the Stone Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea, and Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, to mention a scant few. "You Can Dance" is the album's first single and video. Other notable tracks include a cover of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren."
