Great Albums - 1970s: (1971). This was the last LP for Bowie as a struggling singer-songwriter, before Ziggy and the Thin White Duke propelled him to stardom. Having much to prove is how “Changes,” “Oh! You Pretty Things,” “Life on Mars,” etc. manage to sound obsessively crafted and completely unchained at the same time. Mick Ronson and Rick Wakeman levitate the arrangements on an LP where not a single thing is lacking.

This Week’s : – Divine Symmetry (Box Set). If you like Hunky Dory—and why wouldn’t you?—this sprawling box set takes us on a deep dive into the LP’s creation, from scratch demos to live takes for John Peel and Bob Harris to non-album tracks in various form. A jumble of new remixes crowd the fourth disc—right at the point I’m Bowied out enough I just want to pop on the original vinyl and blast “Life on Mars” to the cats. , , , ,

Hay discos que no tienen el reconocimiento merecido en el momento de ser publicados como producto de las ideas imperantes en el momento de su salida. Esta suerte de miopía le tocó sufrirla a , el disco de que conoció la calle el 17 de diciembre de 1971. El trabajo es un gran homenaje a figuras como Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan e Iggy Pop y en la tapa a Marleen Dietrich. Desde lo musical rompió con las ideas de hard rock de su predecesor para presentar una mezcla de estilos como el pop rock, el glam y el art rock.
