Free Music Review: Bowie's Best Album from the Period - was this Lost Gem
Hit: 4 Stars
After the seventies, David Bowie became perversely better at working on other people's projects rather than his own albums. From his collaboration with Pat Methany ("This is Not America") to the Labyrinth soundtrack to Tin Machine to tracks with Adrian Belew ("Pretty Pink Rose") - Bowie seemed to return to artistic form effortlessly each time, slipping into different identities and musical styles.
"The Buddha of Suburbia" was probably the best of the lot. It reminded me a lot of David Bowie's Low period. Albeit more accessible and zen like, Bowie seems at absolute calm here and channels the inner Buddha in him.
This is indeed Bowie's forgotten album, and a quiet masterpiece. I think Mr Bowie should actually do more concept albums for other people and lose himself just a little more like this.
The Nineties saw Bowie trying to reclaim his blunted edge, and for a moment in time, he found this oasis.
The Buddha of Suburbia Poster
The Buddha of Suburbia was David Bowie's 19th full studio album released in 1993. Asked to write and perform the music for the BBC2 mini series, although classified as a soundtrack, only the title track on the album was featured in the programme itself. The television adaptation of 1990 book, written by Hanif Kureishi, The Buddha of Suburbia is a (semi) autobiographical tale featuring Karim - a South London teenager desperate to escape the suburbs which confine him. Kureishi at the time was already well known for his screenplay of 'My Beautiful Launderette', the 1985 film which centered on issues of sexuality, race and class in volatile 1980's Britain.Pop Music CDs
