Phil Manzanera’s debut solo album in 1975 is almost a Roxy Music album in essence — literally the only member from that band’s contemporary lineup who didn’t appear was Bryan Ferry. Split between vocal and instrumental numbers throughout — guest singers included another Roxy veteran and regular collaborator, Brian Eno, as well as Robert Wyatt, John Wetton and Quiet Sun bandmate Bill MacCormick — Diamond Head’s sleek, easy feeling readily showcases Manzanera’s stirring guitar on songs like the title track and the concluding “Alma.”
