5. bryan ferry, "one way love"
why here? "wonderful summer" stops on a dime with some seagull noises; i wanted to shift tempos a bit, so i inserted this track with its echoing sampled beats opening.
why this song? chris spedding's guitar shines brighter than the lights on broadway, and is far more glamorous to boot. it's splendid, incandescent pop, one of the many highlights of ferry's frantic, and the only cover -- of a drifters tune -- to stand toe-to-toe with the originals. for a vastly different version, see dexy's cover, the b-side to "keep it part 2."
