Music reviews of Aladdin Sane
Music Review: Another Great Bowie Release
Rating: 5 Stars
This is the perfect companion release to "Hunky Dory", where the band plays with an urgency that is consistent on every tune. The release opens with "Watch That Man" with great crunchy guitar beginning Bowie's recollection of a show business party. The visuals he paints are vivid as the party goers revel in the fiesta. The title song "Aladdin Sane" has off tempo piano with refences to Rogers and Hammerstein, with atonal playing by Mike Garson on piano. "Drive In Saturday" is an interesting pop tune, which has a strong harmonic chorus. "Panic In Detroit" has great drumming and guitar interplay, between Ronson and Woodmansey on another strong rocker. "Cracked Actor" has swinging feel and interesting lyrical work with a racous harmonica. "Time" has amazing flowing piano by Garson, which is joined by strong orchestration which add to the feel and dynamics. "The Prettiest Star" is a cute pop song. There is a cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together" which fits exactly with the style of the covers on "Pin Ups". "The Jean Geanie" is a great rocker, with rattling maracas, cutting power guitar and thumping rhythm section. It is a true Bowie classic. "Lady Grinning Soul" is a well written tune that concludes the release. In all, this one of the great releases of the time period, a must have at a time when Bowie was at his creative Ziggy height. The re-release has some interesting covers that did not appear on the original.
Description of Aladdin Sane
The second most important moment in Bowie's glam period, Aladdin Sane is full of smart, cutting-edge songs that hold up decades later as classic moments in rock. Standout tracks include "Panic in Detroit," with Mick Ronson's screaming guitars and Mick Woodmansey's urgent drumming; "Watch that Man," a piano-driven, rollicking number perfect for the Bowie strut; the lascivious and sweaty "Cracked Actor"; the punky "Jean Genie"; and a perfectly raucous cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together." "Time" hearkens back to the theatrics of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, while "Drive in Saturday," "The Prettiest Star," and "Lady Grinning Soul" serve as precursors to Bowie's "plastic soul" sounds that came later in the '70s. Aladdin Sane is even more impressive when considering that the same year this album was made, Bowie was also working with artists like Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, producing some of their most heralded works (the Stooges' Raw Power and Reed's Transformer). --Lorry FlemingGeneral CDs
