Free Music Notes for The Man Who Sold the World

Free Music Review: JUVENILIA IN EXCELSIS
Hit: 3 Stars

Thin white duke-ing it out with god while lathered in the period-defined gestalt of Gibran mingled with contemporaneous man/superman/machine doodling that apes either Nietzsche and/or the plot outline of "The Forbin Project", we must be satisfied mostly in knowing that meetings are already set for the next bardo (a 7 to 49 day visit depending on your behavior while on this plane o' being). Which makes "The Man Who Sold the World" a charming but merely transitional record for Bowie. Here he strives to set aside his memories of a free festival by being fitted for mock madness and women's clothing -- just one look at the restored cover art should give pause to the "heavy metal" theorists here among us and hear it instead as it is: The trial balloon for Bowie's more successful marketing of a seemingly dangerous/thrilling androgyny that finds its better expression not within "The Width of a Circle", but rather when all at last became "Hunky Dory". Bowie proves it's no fluke by then going on to realize the full mutation of Ziggy and Aladdin, each a more mature and more deliberate record than this. Hey, you gotta re-restart somewhere...

The Man Who Sold the World Poster

With 1970's The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie set aside his pop and singer-songwriter aspirations and headed in a harder-rocking direction. Producer Tony Visconti provided a thick, dense setting with guitarist Mick Ronson playing the role of guitar hero to Bowie's megalomaniac frontman; think Keith Richards and Mick Jagger sprinkled with fairy dust. The new approach flowered on Hunky Dory, but the outline for the master plan is here. The title track, "The Width of a Circle," and "All the Madmen" are essential Bowie, as he slips from cryptic to straightforward, celebratory wordplay. --Rob O'Connor
