Free Music Review: Ziggy Stardust: The Glam Rocker Who Fell to Earth.
Hit: 5 Stars
With his 1972 concept album, David Bowie transformed himself from the otherworldly pop singer of "Space Oddity" and The Man Who Sold the World, to the glam rocker Ziggy Stardust, a sexually-promiscuous Martian with flaming red hair, passionate about drugs, peace, and love. (According to Bowie, the inspiration for Ziggy was British Playboy Vince Taylor and Marc Bolan's T.Rex.) Backed by his three-piece "Spiders from Mars" (Mick Ronson on guitar, Trevor Bolder on bass, and Mick Woodmansey on drums), the intensely spectacular Ziggy Stardust made 1970s' rock history with the "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" of "Suffragette City," and Bowie classics "Ziggy Stardust," "Moonage Daydream," and "Hang on to Yourself." Ziggy Stardust is the definitive glam rock album. Album tracks include:
1. Five Years (1999 Digital Remaster) 4:42
2. Soul Love (1999 Digital Remaster) 3:33
3. Moonage Daydream (1999 Digital Remaster) 4:37
4. Starman (1999 Digital Remaster) 4:13
5. It Ain't Easy (1999 Digital Remaster) 2:57

7. Star (1999 Digital Remaster) 2:46
8. Hang On To Yourself (1999 Digital Remaster) 2:36
9. Ziggy Stardust (1999 Digital Remaster) 3:12
10. Suffragette City (1999 Digital Remaster) 3:23

The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust Poster
After flirting with heavy guitar rock ("The Man Who Sold the World") and lighter pop ("Hunky Dory"), Bowie found middle ground on Ziggy Stardust. The creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona would live on well after Bowie shed the alien skin, marking the first rock concept album by a sexually ambiguous, artistically bent musician who confounded critics at every turn. A blend of dramatic strings, swaggering saxophones, jagged guitars, and theatrical arrangements, the album's darker rock numbers like "It Ain't Easy," "Moonage Daydream," "Ziggy Stardust," and the irresistible "Suffragette City," still serve as solid excursions into the future (then and now) of rock. The buoyant "Hang on to Yourself" and the dreamy "Star" offer hints of optimism in Ziggy's bleak world. The dramatic "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" and the image-heavy "Star Man" ("he'd like to come and meet us but thinks he'd blow our minds!") no doubt provided plenty of stage-worthy moments when Ziggy toured in the '70s, but years later they still thrill. Bowie blew our minds! --Lorry FlemingAlternative Rock Music CDs
