David Bowie - The Next Day 2LP + CD

180 Gram Double Vinyl Cut at Masterdisk by Alex DeTurk! Music Icon David Bowie Releases 24th Studio Album! 17 New Songs! David Bowie's 24th studio album, produced by long-time collaborator Tony Visconti, was announced on Bowie's 66th birthday. "Where Are We Now?" is the first single from his first album of original material in 10 years. Working in secret, Bowie and producer Tony Visconti recorded the album over a two year period, spending about 3 months actually writing and recording the album. In recent years, radio silence has been broken only by endless speculation, rumor and wishful thinking. A new record - who would have ever though it? Who'd have ever dreamed it? After all, David Bowie is the kind of artist who writes and performs what he wants when he wants...when he has something to say as opposed to something to sell. With "The Next Day", he definitely has something to say. Now we all know, David Bowie has been in the recording studio - just when we least expected it. Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie despite his extraordinary track record that includes album sales in excess of 130 million; not to mention his massive contributions in the area of art, fashion, style, sexual exploration, and social commentary. It goes without saying that he has sold out stadiums and broken ticket records throughout the world during this most influential of careers. According to producer Visconti, "The material is so strong and beautiful - if people are looking for classic Bowie they'll find that on this album, but if they're looking for innovative Bowie, they'll find that on this album too. It's all there." "This persistent, well-manicured nostalgia could account for the startling warmth that exudes from The Next Day; even when a melody sighs with an air of resigned melancholia, as it does on "Where Are We Now?," it never delves into sadness, it stays afloat in a warm, soothing bath... The Next Day neither enhances nor diminishes anything that came before, it's merely a sweet coda to a towering career." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, www.allmusic.com, 3.5/5 Stars!!
