BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA
David Bowie
EMI
"This album may well have been one
of the most enjoyable projects that
I've been involved with."
David Bowie
The 1993 BBC TV play for which
David Bowie provided the
soundtrack is an enjoyable record
to listen to.
And this new remastered reissue
not only sounds great, but with 14
years hindsight, one wonders
why it was not one of Bowie's
more popular releases.
Drawing on influences as diverse
as Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, the
O'Jays, T Rex, Roxy Music and
Richard Strauss, Bowie the post
modern original chameleon, has
come up with a moody tone-poem
that certainly does not shame any
of the influences he cites in the
CD's informative liner notes.
Bowie says that his "personal
memory stock" for the album is
drawn from "an almighty plethora
of influences and reminiscences
from the 1970's."
No, this is not a disco album, but
rather a groove one, and might be
good for not only setting up the
mood, but also for closing it.
Produced by Bowie and Erdal
Kizilcay, the Buddha of Suburbia
really should be given the 5.1
treatment by Tony Visconti, and
then it would be even better.
Well worth checking out.
Even if you hated the suburbs.
