The Pit Ponies is my Bryan Ferry / Roxy Music / Brian Eno cover band. Just kidding. Nice piece. Is there another album that has this sort of vibe (very chill without being (overly) sexual)? Not even a rhetorical question - I mean, please, tell me cause I'll go put it on. Maybe Astral Weeks, but that's about the only one I can think of that's close. Enjoy the water.
The Pit Ponies! I love it. And I'm with you. This record just *does* it. It's chill but the groove is really strong. It has that sexiness that comes from not having to try.
I read where Manzanera credits it to the record being written mainly in the studio. Ferry usually writes on piano and brings the songs to the band that way. This time he came in more with poems and short stories, and while it's not a concept album really, there's an interconnectedness. Then again, Manzanera also said it could have been an absence of drugs.
The only other to come to mind is Zero 7's Simple Things, which gets to a similar place from an opposite direction. Or maybe it's just one of those records I listen to on Labor Day weekend beach vacations.

And thank you.
My favorite is their second live album Heart Still Beating. I have been listening to that since it came out in 1990.
