4 stars It is possible to catch by converting the part of some revolutions into the work for his music character. Part of Rock Star of fiction of him after "Ziggy Stardust" announced in 1972. And, the music character that always caught the age and revolutionized it enchanted the listener. However, the conflict as the part of the music character that he expressed appeared in the work on the boundary of the 80's. It is a so-called trilogy that he announced in Berlin if it thinks as a time series to say nothing of it. It is possible to chase it from "Low", "Heroes", and "Lodger".

The success in "Let's Dance" might have been an age of the pursuit of new own music in the contrary as the music character of man who repeated restructuring as a style of music in the work in the especially 80's. You should have become an element to which the existence of "Tin Machine" pulled him in the 90's though the style had been established in this age. There might recently have been work that he tried to watch oneself again in the 80's. When interviewing it, it made remarks on David Bowie when "Tin Machine" was formed. It is a flow that shifts from Pop Star to Berlin from the 70's if it thinks by "The performed character was lost in me" ,in a word, the diagram. And, the 80 year tried for the pursuit of the self repeating dismantlement and restructuring. They might have been the challenges of the music character to the 90's at the same time as pursuit's as new Bowie starting with Tin Machine. The listener might certainly have had the opinion of the approval or disapproval in his music character in the 80's. However, the idea and the expression of the music character that he did are completely followed and expressed by this album. Music advances surely. Neither the rhythm nor the sound of the fashion taken in this work will be completely problems. The point to have appointed Nile Rodgers again as a producer has succeeded completely, too.

The part where the impression of Bowie in "The Wedding" was reflected in the tune might be splendid. An Oriental a few melodies touch the tune with beauty. He completely catches the age.

The music character that he has done before is followed and the dash feeling and the melody of "You've Been Around" are being offered to the listener as music of completely new David Bowie. The trumpet of Lester Bowie also contributes.

The color of David Bowie ..tune of good feeling that went out.. has finished as the flow of the tune of "I Feel Free" is also complete. The melody of the wind instrument twines round the rhythm of Funk and Rock. The work of Nile Rodgers is reminiscent of the impression of the sound of "Let's Dance". And, the music character of new David Bowie that rushed into in the 90's is splendidly drawn out.

"Black Tie White Noise" is a tune with the wonderful flow transposed from the part of the song to a steady rhythm. It might be proof that is followed the idea to which David Bowie exactly did this tune and creates new music.

"Jump They Say" advances with the dash feeling. This..tune..album..shingle.Rhythm and melody. And, solo of the trumpet will call the excitement.

As for "Nite Flights", the rhythm of Hip-Hop twines round strings with the anacatesthesia. The melody in the middle, the progress of chord, and the line of Bass will have the calculated perfect composition. The title of the tune might be exactly reflected in the melody.

The rhythm of "Pallas Athena" is impressive with the desire chorus. The song of Bowie has not gone out ahead so much. However, it might be important as the flow that composes the whole of the album. It has the role by way of as another theme of the album.

"Miracle Goodnight" might have the theme with a little unique melody. And, the part of the song that David Bowie is good is reflected in the tune. The way of the chorus twining is also splendid. The transposition of the middle of the tune also expands width. The obbligati of the last guitar and the sound of the keyboard are features.

"Don't Let Me Down&Down" is a tune of mellow with beautiful lyrics. The part of the ballade touches it with the progress of not a simple composition but complete Chord. The melody was calculated completely and completed. Solo of the trumpet will call impression. The height of the technology is shown.

In "Looking For Lester", ensemble of a glossy wind instrument is a feature. It twines round the rhythm that reflects the times and an advanced melody raises the album-quality. The song of Bowie doesn't come out ahead. However, the high quality is consistent. The contribution of Nile Rodgers might be a large tune.

"I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday" is a beautiful tune to which the Soul music and gospel have been taken. It might be an element that such a tune has naturally adhered to the body in Bowie, too. This album might be exactly an album with high quality completed overall.

"The Wedding Song" passes "The Wedding" and "Pallas Athena". The album is finished off by this trilogy that has it with the marriage as the theme.

David Bowie in the 90's has completely established own directionality by this album.
