Free Music Review: Haunting Interpretation of a Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album on a whim after reading that Bowie recorded it in the spirit of _1984_, the classic by George Orwell. Once I started listening to "Future Legands" I was immediately sucked back into Orwell's futuristic world.
All the songs on this album have that darker tone to them, but it's also crucial that you don't miss the other aspects of the songs. "We Are The Dead" is not only as it first appears to the average listener. Yes, it has that dark message, but there's also the sexual play going on between the singer and some unknown person. "But I love you in your f*ck me pumps and your nimble dress ..." it took me a few times of listening to the song for those two lines to actually click and merge into the rest.
Even the last song "Chant Of The Ever Circling Skelelal Family" leaves you with the same jarring finality as the novel does. It's not how you WANT it to end, but it's satisfying anyway ... at least, until you get to the last thirty seconds of the song where you wonder if your copy is scratched. It's not.
Diamond Dogs [ECD] Poster
George Orwell's classic tale of totalitarianism, 1984, was the inspiration for a project that David Bowie hoped would further solidify his standing as a rock visionary. Bowie was a natural artist to helm a musical companion to Orwell's allegory, since his own music exhibits an innate alienation. The concept ultimately broke down, but the music didn't. "Rebel Rebel" has become a rock staple, while "Sweet Thing," "Candidate," and the forthright yet experimental title track (Bowie as puppet master) offer additional highlights. Still, despite such benchmarks and its conceptual flaws, Diamond Dogs is best listened to as a thematic collection. --Rob O'ConnorAlternative Rock Music CDs
