In 1976 David Bowie released Station To Station an album that marked a transition for him. While he explored the soul and funk path on Young Americans and before he made Low with Brian Eno he released an album that wasn't an easy cost. Many people couldn't deal with this album at these days because it was unexpected that Bowie explored krautrock and the sound of Neu! and Kraftwerk. The title song is split in two parts. Starting slow with a hypnotic march and industrial noises it turns into a majestic groove that lasts for the rest of the song. The song has some kind of beautiful, intensely romantic melancholy that still grabs me after many years.

What an incredible song this is, I never tire of listening to Station To Station.
I mentioned in a recent post that Black Market has been produced reimagined dub-influenced versions of Bowie classics and it should be no surprise that Station To Station is included. Sacrilege to some, but personally I love it.

I've also posted today about Bookends, the new single from U.S. Girls, which in its structure and attitude, reminds me of Station To Station. Well worth a listen.
