Album Notes This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, alto & tenor saxophones, Moog synthesizer, Mellotron); Warren Peace (vocals); Carlos Alomar, Earl Slick (guitar); Roy Bittan (piano); George Murray (bass); Dennis Davis (drums).Principally recorded at Cherokee Studios, Hollywood, California. Originally released on RCA.Digitally remastered by Peter Mew & Nigel Reeve (1999, Abbey Road Studios, London, England).STATION TO STATION was the soundtrack to Bowie's nightlife. This time around he fashioned himself as the king of slick, the "Thin White Duke/Throwing darts in lover's eyes." This new persona enabled Bowie to show his sensual side and his affection for American soul music--something that would have seemed out of context on previous efforts.The album's smooth vibe is evident in the funky guitar of "Golden Years," and mixed with a dangerous charm and the "side effects of the cocaine" on the title track. Bowie had miraculously done it again--he picked up a new musical identity, and molded it to perfection.STATION TO STATION was a refining period for Bowie. Gone was his other-worldly sexuality; The Thin White Duke was right here on Earth, no alien veneer, just a man completely run by his desires. It is then purely appropriate that the medium through which he expressed this lustful angle would be soul music. Carlos Alomar's biting guitar on "Golden Years" is straight out of the James Brown catalog, while the frantic drums and background vocals of "Stay" are pure strobe light disco.

Top Reviews  An All Too Often Overlooked LP From The Thin White DukeReview created: 02/02/06(updated 02/02/06) by:  5 of 5 people found this review helpful. I've just finished listening to Bowie live in Ohio 1976, Un Chien Andalou, a brilliant public domain CD bootleg culled from the 1976 tour. I've been re-visiting and listening to my 1976 tour tapes after ignoring them for too long. It's moved me to write that Station To Station is one David Bowie LP all too often overlooked by fans, including myself, young and old. But as if we did not know it already, Station To Station reminds us Bowie is a killer song writer. The Thin White Duke delivers hard, straight, bare bones musical arrangements, yet pointed and emotional song writing - carefully wrapped in a few new studio tricks and special effects but not hidden or preoccupied in pushing too many themes or theatre. As a result on his 1976 tour Bowie & Co. faithfully reproduce all these great tracks in some mind blowing 10-15 minute anthems like Word On A Wing, Stay and the title track Station To Station!! This simply adds to the enjoyment of owning the original LP and helps you begin to get to know the man Bowie himself a little better as a composer. You can also imagine his love life and spiritual status must have been in some state of flux reading between the lines of those emotionally charged lyrics on Stay and Word On A Wing. We are not worthy Lord..... Get yourself a copy quick (CD, LP whatever!!) ENJOY !!! Then start hunting down those 1976 tour tapes too! eclipse1501 eBay seller and 1966 Bowie fan Review ID: 10000000000723115 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
