The sixth album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards, oboe, saxophone and vocals.
Some guests added drums, bass, harp, piano, keyboards and backing vocals.
The band was unravelling at this point with Bryan Ferry running the band at the same time as having a fairly busy solo career too. This is the final album with the original members. The two final albums, soon to be reviewed here, would be Bryan Ferry and hired musicians. Some of them were the original members, though. But as session musicians.
The music on Manifesto is a mix of art-rock, pop, a small dip into the disco scene and some brass rock.
The music is rather sophisticated and classy. On the surface, that is. The quality is not particular great and this album is by far their worst album.
It is still a bit of a fascinating album as nobody has ever done art-rock/pop as Roxy Music once did. Hence, this album must be checked out too.
