No David Bowie Thread?

All the Young Dudes

Low is an essential night time album.
Didn't think much of it the first few times. I thought it was way overhyped..i was wrong.
man the songs just get under your skin. works so well as a whole.. or two of the greatest EP's ever. sometimes i feel like the poppy first half or the dark ambient second half.

Always Crashing in the Same Car

 

[mansize rooster]

might have to be next on the list.
must be good right?

 

[FlyingBurittoBro]

guess who has announced a new album

 

[mansize rooster]

pretty nice surprise huh.
i like the new tune to

 

[crownie]

new song is ok nothing special but great that he has made a new album. His voice sounds as good as ever.

 

[Smackrobiotic]

I like the new song. It's the kind of song you'd expect Bowie to be singing at his age. Not a fan of the video clip though.

 

[Footscrazy]

I'm really enjoying the new track. Get's better with every listen. Agree with Smack, video clip isn't great.

The single has me so excited for the album. Produced by Tony Visconti who produced the Berlin trilogy.

I was getting worried we'd never hear from the great man again.

Released to coincide with his ailing years... 66 years young

A few years ago (prob 10 now), Rage did a Bowie special where they went through all the clips (starting with Rubberband) and included a few live tracks. It was the first time I listened to Bowie beyond a couple of Best Of type CDs and the obvious radio tracks.

Two songs stood out to me and have become all time favourites, both of which seem frightfully underrated:

Time Will Crawl
Yes it is certainly 80s Synth Pop but this is a songwriting masterpiece. Beautifully crafted and cleverly produced. The film clip is, however, possibly one of the worst ever .




Be My Wife
This can get stuck in your head for days - instant classic

new track gets better with each listen

-from tony
It's maybe the only track on the album that goes this much inward for him. It's quite a rock album, the rest of the songs. I thought to myself: 'Why is David coming out with this very slow, albeit beautiful, ballad? Why is he doing this? He should be coming out with a bang.' But he is a master of his own life. I think this was a very wise move, to link up the past with the future, and I think the next thing you hear from him is going to be quite different.

^^^^^^^

Gawd, that last bit from Bowie is awful, never, ever thought he'd get old.

Anyhoo, found one good bit from Low. Reckon it's Dennis Davis smashing the snare.

Dennis Davis was the drummer for the whole album.

 

[Footscrazy]

Sound and Vision is my favourite off Low.



Another of my favourites. Zeroes off Never Let Me Down - '87

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Worst album cover ever?

 

[DrVanNostrand]

I think the new single is pretty good, would be right at home on the Heathen album.

Seems pretty certain he's played his last live show, though.

 

[Footscrazy]

2nd single off the new album.



Very strange video, love the song though.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Both singles are great, soooooo pumped for this album I reckon it will be a Heathen-meets-Station to Station kind of deal.

 

[Zuma]

Nice song David

 

[mansize rooster]

so good!

I Know You Know, I Know You Know

3 words in that line yet if seems like alot more

I love David's vocal on the "Where are We Know?" style of songs over the vocal for the more up tempo "Stars"

 

[eldorado]

What a horrible album cover.

 

[crownie]

there is a leak going around from the itunes stream.

look forward to listening to it on the weekend

 

[Footscrazy]

Listened to the album, it's vintage Bowie. The whole album is full of amazing tunes. Already love it to bits
