Bowie Reality Vinyl Review

David bowie reality review.

Bowie reality vinyl review.

Review 2002 s heathen was the best david bowie album in ages and this more guitar oriented follow up may even be better. Released 15 september 2003 on columbia catalog no. Bowie once again ignores popular styles and instead chases a rather dark and mysterious muse. Heathen was also excellent.

David bowie vocals guitar keyboards percussion saxophone stylophone synthesizer producer tony visconti bass guitar guitar keyboards backing vocals producer engineer mixing sterling campbell drums. Reality an album by david bowie. You just had to look very hard for it or buy it from the internet. The reality of a legend finding his confidence again is a delight to behold 2002 s heathen was a true return to form for david bowie and its often hailed accolade of being his best album in 30 years is well deserved.

It is less pop music and more a mixture of hard rock and brooding mood music. It s not just these david bowie albums either it s very noticeable that a lot of the new pressings are not as good as they were when vinyl became the newest fad again. Reality contains the singles new killer star and never get old neither of which charted it s fine record which unfairly gets overshadowed by the plaudits heaped upon. He sounds energetic enthusiastic and innovative.

Reality is nothing like heathen. Following hot on the heels of heathen reality demonstrates that bowie is on a musical role. Add this to your bowie collection for sure it s worth it. David bowie s reality was the album before the next day but released way back in 2003 amazingly not released on lp at all until next week when music on vinyl issue it with 2 500 being available in green and orange vinyl.

Each david bowie album from black tie white noise onwards has been greeted with a huge puff of publicity but very little aftertaste. I ve been buying vinyl for decades as it was still available in the peak of the cd era. A great many of david bowie s fans with each successive year slowly but surely creep into the former category even as bowie himself manages to still act like a card carrying member of the latter. Rated 1106 in the best albums of 2003.

Reality is in my top 6 fav bowie records and it is an under ratted great album.
