| | David Bowie (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | David Bowie is the eponymously-titled debut album by rock musician David Bowie, released in 1967 by Deram Records, a Decca label. | | | NME critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have said "a listener strictly accustomed to David Bowie in his assorted '70s guises would probably find this debut album either shocking or else simply quaint". | | | The track also included explicit references to abortion, infanticide and cannibalism. |

| | VH1.com : David Bowie : Biography |
| | Bowie followed the album in late 1971 with the pop/rock Hunky Dory, an album that featured Ronson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman. | | | Bowie needed to finance the Arts Lab, so he signed with Mercury Records that year and released Man of Words, Man of Music, a trippy singer/songwriter album featuring "Space Oddity." The song was released as a single and became a major hit in the U.K., convincing Bowie to concentrate on music. | | | Bowie had recruited Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers to produce the album, giving the record a sleek, funky foundation, and hired the unknown Stevie Ray Vaughan as lead guitarist. |

| | David Bowie: Hunky Dory ---Ink Blot Magazine |
| | David Bowie began performing music at the age of 13, when he learned saxophone, which he played in a number of unremarkable bands until 1966, when he began to release solo singles on Pye Records. | | | The album included the song "Space Oddity," which became a big hit in Britain and the title of the same record when it was released to signifigantly less success in America. | | | Hunky Dory is Bowie's most varied recording to date, wandering fluidly on a musical terrain that shifts unexpectedly between melodramatic show tunes, flawlessly constructed pop, trippy art-rock, and earthy folk. |

| | There is a really extensive David Bowie web site that's overcommercialized and massively overstuffed with graphics, but does include all the usual discographies, album covers, gossip, tour information, etc., and also lets the fans rate his records. | | | Bowie's best effort in two decades, this is a lengthy conceptual album with (surprise) a paranoid, Orwellian sci-fi plotline. | | | Bowie's first "normal" rock record (by his standards), it at first looked to be another flop. |

| | RCA was the next label to sign Bowie, and after a trip to America to complete the legalities, he returned to London to record two albums nearly back to back. | | | The summer of 1972 was also a busy one for Bowie in the studio, as he produced albums for Lou Reed (Transformer) and Mott the Hoople (All The Young Dudes, for which he wrote the hit title track). | | | David Robert Jones was born in Brixton on January 8th, 1947. |

| | Bowie wasn't at the peak of his song writing skills, and some of the songs can be irritating. | | | It was Bowie (and his guitarist, Mick Ronson), in fact, who invented the "loud generic style distorted rock and roll guitars" glam style heard on a couple of the songs of this album. | | | David's still singing too high and missing notes aplenty, but he does come up with a few killer songs (distorted rocker track 2, oddball bass walker track 9 and especially the somber, "Space Oddity"-style title track, made famous to a younger generation when Kurt Cobain And His Nirvanas put it on their Unplugged album). |

| | This album does not equal the Bowie albums from the 70s but is better than most of his 80's and 90's output. | | | Another worthwhile detail is the finish to the album and the track 'EVERYONE SAYS HI!'. | | | I have listened to all of Bowies music other than the rare B-side stuff from the 70s singles and I have not been disappointed.Instead my love for his music grows and grows and Heathen has pushed me to climax. |

| | As the regular, commercial Bowie recordings mainly mirror the marketing strategies of his producers and record-companies, I have based this article mostly on bootleg recordings of his live concerts, or on studio recordings which were never released commercially. | | | Bowie recorded 'Low' with Brian Eno; together with Iggy Pop, they "fabricated" the album 'The Idiot', Bowie became "Heroes" (also the song title in between inverted commas), Pop ironically caught sight of the 'Lust for Life' but both remained 'Passengers', headed by Bowie as 'Lodger'. | | | But in fact Bowie and Brian Eno recorded the songs for '1. |

| | David Bowie: Heathen: Pitchfork Review |
| | Bowie tries his hand at the Pixies' "Cactus" (a move which might make the album's title sound ironically appropriate)-- but take a deep breath. | | | This is not a particularly cheery record: "Sunday" is a somber, almost sinister chant that builds into an ascending chorus of warm synths and percussion-- a tense, minimal remix of the best moments of Earthling, if you will. | | | He's a far cry from Black Francis, but Bowie's voice is so amazingly distinctive that it almost sounds like a different song. |

| | The song that David performs vocals on is entitled 'Province' which will appear on their next album 'Return To Cookie Mountain' scheduled for release on 12th June. | | | Nonetheless, as Bowie and the band's vocals collide, yelp and rise, the song shines through not as an obligatory guest spot, but as a hauntingly memorable, post-apocalyptic masterpiece. | | | Incidentially David himself performed at the same venue three times way back in January 1968 as part of the touring cast of Lindsay Kemp's 'Pierrot In Turquoise' where he acted, mimed and performed five songs as part of the play. |

| | David Bowie |
| | Less than a year ago MTV jocks, the rock press, the radio stations and the music trade journals were rife with predictions that David Bowie, after a three-year-hiatus from both recording and performing, would be back strong in 1983. | | | Immediately following the Bowie article, which was written by the dubious Jay Cocks, the magazine's editors have placed an article on music entitled "New Rock on a Red-Hot Roll: Sizzling sales have record execs dancin' in the suites." I think the boosterist title is sufficient indication of what the content of the article is like. | | | But man," Wynn continues, "if there'd never been such a thing as David Bowie, we'd have been spared from all the worst music alive. |
