The White Duke never ceases to amaze! Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for a dive into the music of a Bowie closely related to the Duke of the "Berlin Trilogy," where he was accompanied by the master of electro-music, known as Bryan Eno. The return to purely seventies atmospheres (perhaps due to Tony Visconti?) is accompanied by a set of highly enjoyable songs, where Bowie's voice is used more as an accompaniment instrument to the ensemble melodies rather than a solo aria. An album of exquisite craftsmanship that will undoubtedly amaze even the longtime fans of the indomitable fashion-maker David.
Bowie has been everything, done everything, played everything. And he’s still here, with his magnificent voice.
He knows what rock ’n’ roll is, they’ve lived it and can still churn out decent music.
"Heathen" is my tireless Bowie album, absolutely magnetic like the trip-hop magnets of "Sunday."
Three songs are absolutely indispensable to understand that with this album Bowie wanted to gracefully conclude a phase of his discography.
With 'Heathen,' Bowie intended to offer an album worthy of his great masterpieces.
'Heathen (The Rays)' is a monumental song with a masterful arrangement.
