Tír Na HiFi

Been a while since I posted here. Been listening to this a bit and think its pretty good!

This is one was a nice find by my daughter and she put me on to it. This well only a young lady has an amazing voice, stuff is kind ethereal a bit like Cocteau twins or Sigur Ros but ze voice is special.

My favourite PS album

Even more than Graceland Fran?

Bowie: Young Americans....




I honestly cannot remember how many years it is since I last listened to that album. I remember it differently somehow.

Yep - I like Graceland, love it even, but this one is a bit of a favourite of mine.

The run of albums from Young American to Scary Monsters is one he's never equalled in my opinion (although the man remains perenially fascinating).  Far better than the overrated Ziggy Stardust phase, this was his creative zenith and Low was the absolute apogee in Bowie's career trajectory.

I heard it in a café last week and later that night gave my well-partied original 1975 copy a spin.... still sounded great but less epic!

Still a classic for me.
