Music reviews of The Idiot

Music Review: Iggy And Ziggy
Rating: 5 Stars

This Was A Great Comeback Record For Iggy With Bowie As A Producer. With The Combination Of These Two Geniuses You Have A Masterpiece. " Dum Dum Boys" & "Funtime" Are Definite Standouts On This Disc. His Album "Lust For Life" Was A Good Follow Up.

Live at the Avenue B


After several years of hard living and the commercial disappointment of his previous band the Stooges (occasional rave reviews do not keep the lights on), Iggy Pop continued his collaboration with David Bowie for his first solo album. Bowie serves as producer and cowriter, and his artsy, stylized hand can be felt negotiating the sessions. Unlike the explosive firepower of the Stooges, The Idiot centers on a moody, sometimes funky vibe that reflects the decadent aura of Berlin, where this album was recorded--and where Pop and Bowie attempted to tame their excesses. "China Girl" has since gone on to become a standard in both of their repertoires. However, it's Pop's mix of eerie nonchalance and passionate screams that defines the song. Tracks such as "Nightclubbing" and "Dum Dum Boys" are surprisingly subdued for Pop considering the subject matter. This is essentially Pop taking baby steps back into the world-at-large after years of self-abuse. --Rob O'Connor
