25 New Releases
It points out to me how far out of the record-buying-and-listening loop I've been that I've only heard one of your top 25, David Bowie's "Heretic". And, FWIW, that one didn't do much for me -- the arrangements seemed lusher than the songs seemed to want, and the only songs I can remember from it, a few months later, are the cover tunes. It reminded me a lot of his "Tonight" album, where a lot of the same things went awry, though that was redeemed by some stellar moments like "Loving the Alien". Probably not something I would put on my top list if I had bought enough CDs for there to be a meaningful one. Though the new Peter Gabriel almost definitely would make it. -- | jzitt@josephzitt.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | GPG: A4224EFA http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code / VoiceWAVE Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |
