David Bowie

Recommended Posts

Outside and Heathen are highly underrated

 

In order of sound quality:

 

Bowie on vinyl > Bowie RCA CDs > Rykodisc remasters > 1999 EMI plastic trash

I agree. The 1999 remasters are terrible. Some of the Ryko ones are good (the gold Rykos sound pretty good to me), and there's a couple good EMI Japan SHM remasters released in 2009, but they could just be the ones from '99.. In my iTunes I have a mix of the Rykos and Japanese, I couldn't find any of the original RCA CD rips anywhere.

Thanks to Lana, David was inspired to return. Same like last year Kate Bush reappearing after years of being a recluse.

 

Cool.


Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp

Orphic exploration "about a girl" in the psychological sense

 

"The Seer" and "The Liar" are his two new personae (Not Seen and Seen)

 

Stylistically, the album seems to strangely slot itself somewhere between Buddha of Suburbia and Outside

"'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore" has the line "Man, she punched me like a dude"

 

"Girl Loves Me" is an extended reference to A Clockwork Orange's Nadsat language http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/clockworkorange/terms.html

 

Another Nadsat word? "Ultra-violence" ...
