David Bowie/Brian Eno trilogy that began with "Low" and
"Heroes." Bowie's style here incorporates just about every style
he's experimented with including a few straight-forward narratives, some
songs made up of what seems like chants, and some mainstream rock tunes.
Overall, the tone of the album is less foreboding than his more recent
musical excursions into progressive realms. In some ways this represents a
departure for Bowie, and in other ways a continuation of previous
recordings. Most tunes were penned by Bowie and Eno with musical support
consisting of bass, guitars, piano, synthesizer and strings used on a few
cuts. Best cuts: "D.J.," "African Night Flight,"
"Boys Keep Swinging," "Fantastic Voyage." Dealers:
