Iggy Pop's The Idiot is a good companion album to this. It's mostly composed by Bowie and produced by him too, with a similar icy art rock -sound. Also, TVC15 is a banger.
The funny thing about this album is that Bowie himself didn't remember how it was recorded and most of the production, he was really fuled by drugs, especially coke xD
Can't wait for the Berlin trilogy. Low is such an incredible album and simultaneously feels like a natural evolution from Station to Station & such a completely different album from everything else he has made at the same time
1.Outside from 1995 is a very overlooked album, but has a cult following, it gives industrial, grunge, alternative and very art-rock compelling sound that you might apreciate. Should give it a try too, it would be a good bridge to Blackstar.
TVC15 was written when David woke up from a nightmare about seeing a woman devoured by a television set. And that television set belonged to his good friend Iggy Pop. In the context of the rest of the album’s lyrics and themes it fits as it was a coke-fueled dream, while the rest of the lyrics are either a cry for help or announcing the return of the Thin White Duke.
Stay, my 15 year old sons favorite Bowie song,that and DJ. My proudest moment ( not really, I mean, first steps were cool and all) but him connecting to Bowie,heart swells. Thank you Alex! so much for doing Bowie!
To me Station to Station is more connected to Low than Heroes is easily to me, it's the nightmare vs calm after the storm and when Bowie was the most genuine. I mean he was playing a character obviously with Station but you could clearly see and hear that he was suffering
When I first listened to the opening track I didn’t know what to think. Didn’t know if I liked it or not but I kept listening to it and I think I can say that I really enjoy that track now, as avant-garde as it is.
I've said earlier that every Bowie album seems to have a cover that shouldn't be there. the exception is this album...Wild is the Wing SHOULD be there.
Definitely expect you to get the most comments for Low. Some small hints of what is to come from the Station to Station title track, but listening back again they are still quite radically different, possibly due to Bowie leaving behind an overwhelming cocaine habit in Los Angeles and starting afresh in Europe. When you get to Low, you'll probably find Side A fairly immediate, but odd (and what is that drum effect they are using?) -, but Side B is probably what fans return to most and is very much a Bowie/Eno collaboration. Warszawa is still my favourite (and the name that Ian Curtis chose for his band before they became Joy Division).
@@AlexHaitz The last track of Low, Subterraneans, was originally meant to be in the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth" which Bowie starred in. The director of the film, Nicholas Roeg, wanted to go in a different direction with the soundtrack, so the track was put on the back burner. That was until it was revived to be on Low. It's the track that probably had the least amount of Eno involvement, besides Weeping Wall (Bowie played all the instruments on that track) though it doesn't feel out of place with Side B, and serves as a satisfying conclusion to a superb album.
This is one of my top favourite albums ever! I’m so pleased to see you listening to lots of Bowie albums. When you say funk and R & B are not your kind of music that intrigues me as to what is your kind of music? Just so I know where you are coming from. Roxy Music - ‘For Your Pleasure’ is an excellent album to check out if you haven’t already. Also Leonard Cohen’s ‘Songs of Love and Hate’ he’s an Artists Artist so you may appreciate his work. Am looking forward to checking out more of your videos.
Hi Alex, give it a couple more listenings. I think that it will grow on you. Looking forward to seeing how do you find Echo & the Bunnymen, I love them, particularly Crocodiles and Ocean Rain, but all of their albums are pretty solid, except Reberveration... Ah, and please give a try to The Tindersticks, you will thank me forever, their first 3 albums are amazing
Tim Burgess is organizing Twitter listening parties and today I had an exchange with someone who said he listens to albums at least 3 times. That's a pretty great idea! Sometimes it doesn't click the first time you hear it, but on the second attempt you might be like ohmygodwherehasthisbeenallmylife??
I never bought the Bowie albums in order as i was discovering his back catalogue. My first Bowie album was CHANGESTWO..a compilation around 1981, then Hunky Dory, then Heroes...i just discovered them in random orders.
Nice review. This may come across as pretentious and perhaps it is but there is also a profound truth to it. When you say Bowie's thinking was chaotic... Consciousness is universal, it is innate in our being, and it contains everything real or imagined or even unimagined. If you aren't a chaotic thinker then you are only tapping into a very limited wavelength of consciousness, which is fine because without filters we can't properly function, but artistic genius requires a very porous filter when it comes to consciousness. Probably why many artistic geniuses are unstable - at least academics have the filter of their specialist subject to keep them saner.
I first listen to the song Station To Station in the movie Christiane F when I was maybe 12yo in the mid '90s, it blew me away and I've been a huge Bowie fan since then. I love pretty much all the Bowie phases, but the absolute best is the period late '70s, early '80s with Low, Heroes, Lodger and Scary Monsters.
I've always suspected Stay to be probably one of David's songs that's of more interest to 'musos' as the band are beginning to showboat. Earl Slick specifically sounds like he's having lots of fun. Overall I've always thought David sounds a little cold or withdrawn on this album as though he's not quite there. I think the album is too short. It needs another three songs at least.
i like what you say about Album and yes it nice on the ear but like with TVC 15( which most Bowie have said what the hell was that about at the fist of listing to it ) you say to ourselves what was that about then like you favorite TV show of film you have seen for 100th time you go wow that what that song about and you begin to understand it an album with more layers than it first shows you . also i think when start relies in him self that he had gone a dark path i think word on a wing is a sort cry for help song with out been to blunt thank you
This is a continuation of Young Americans funk and you are right that Bowie was leaning to more artistic songs...there is some of that on Low (one side) but Bowie did embrace more of a R&B stance in most of his core albums - including his Berlin Trilogy. So, Bowie always had one foot in R&B while he went more experimental / artsy later. I personally love R&B and funk, so this hits me in my sweet spot. Nice review!
By the way, please keep doing these Bowie reviews, one of my favourite artists, but as RUclipsr if you are after more views you might want to look at bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin etc They are very popular for reaction videos so reviews should do quite well too. One thing I would like is to hear little more of the songs without breaking copyright if possible so perhaps even do reaction/reviews of 2 songs at a time or something or break your videos down that way. It will be a little more editing work perhaps but give you more content at the same time and the viewer more choice and more of the songs. Just a thought.
I’ve considered tackling more “popular” material like that, and will probably get to things of that sort eventually. But for now I’m content just doing what feels right one album/artist at a time. And as for the editing, I have to limit the segments of music to less than 7 seconds or it will likely get detected and possibly blocked. I try to include a lot of the music, but it depends on the songs. If they’re long/repetitive, it’s redundant to show me reacting to the same segments multiple times.
@@AlexHaitz Yeah it probably good to build a solid following that know you are being authentic in your opinions. On reactions which are more popular than straight reviews then yeah copyright can be a pain but I follow a lot of reactors and so long as you interrupt the songs with thoughts and the like they tend to get left alone. under fair use. I guess you could just upload the songs you most enjoyed interjected with thoughts from the albums and split them if necessary due to length? Obviously you have a better idea of what you want for your channel and what is right for you, I'm just throwing a couple of things out there. All the best.
Too bad you skipped albums. Being a relatively early fan, I had the privilege of hearing much of his work as it emerged, and that's the best way to hear them.
Thanks for posting! If you have a minute, we posted an Eddie Van Halen tribute video. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you'd check it out. It's on our channel. Don't go too hard on us :)
Then go and listen to the album on your own? 99% watching this would have heard the album before. Was you really expecting to sit and watch him listen to the whole album? He listens to the whole album, he just edits it otherwise he'd have no videos. Be real.
@@SilentAssassin01234 Fair enough. Maybe he could have selected some tracks that he had a personal connection with. I guess I found the jump start editing very disconcerting. I may have over reacted. Great album. Hope I didn't come across to critical :) My bad.
He doesn't skip any parts of the songs. He just doesn't show him listening to themwhole otherwise he would get copyright strikes from youtube and they will take the video down. Anyone who actually watched the video will be able to that from the cuts in his sitting position.

Wasn't it Iggy Pop dreaming that TV ate his girlfriend?
@@jmel4693 Possibly?

That long outro on Stay is so darn rocking. Love that song
Hmmm

Great timing, my vinyl copy of this album came in yesterday, hard to rank his albums but this is undoubtedly a masterpiece

How you gonna do let's spend the night togheter like that 😔
What about China Girl? I know he cowrote and produced it, but Iggy Pop recorded the original

This is a stunning album by David. Station to Station always sounds fresh to me. One of my top 5 Bowie albums.

"It has the potential to grow on me!" High praise, at last.
Wild is the Wind was also done by Nina Simone. And Johnny Mathes. One of my favorite Bowie songs because of the emotion in his voice.

Diamond Dogs has such a wonderfully, creepy atmosphere, I love it! Station to Station isn't one of my faves but it did grow on me and I like it.
Nice review.

more than 4 minutes later he he says... "I'm gonna dive right in..."
Alex, have you gotten to Iggy Pop's two Bowie-produced albums, The Idiot and Lust For Life? Both written during this "Berlin" era.
I've always suspected Stay to be probably one of David's songs that's of more interest to 'musos' as the band are beginning to showboat. Earl Slick specifically sounds like he's having lots of fun. Overall I've always thought David sounds a little cold or withdrawn on this album as though he's not quite there. I think the album is too short. It needs another three songs at least.
Ocean Rain is a good album but the first three, for me anyway, are the real sound of the Bunnymen.
Roy Bitten is from Springsteen's E Street band.
Fun Fact: Golden Years was written for Elvis Presley
What? Doesn't even make sense. Source? I looked and didn't see anything g.
no it wasn't
wow, that actually true
It was offered to Elvis and he turned it down. That is fact.
@@tracymarshall-johnson1417 It does make sense, and it's true.

For me one a great great album
I think somebody should have warned you that this is a very funky/souly album!! For me this album gave us his best vocals.
I agree that his vocals were great but my personal favourite vocals were off Ziggy Stardust.
You had to be there and put it in context to what else was aroud at the time. It's still one of my go to albums
I'm gld you attempted Bowie he's himself a music masterpiece
Another great music review/lesson. Would love to see your reaction towards ‘Reelin In The Years’ by Steely Dan
"It's not the side effects of the cocaine"
Your face tells it all.

A disturbing television set.
