Lodger part 2, equally inventive but, without Eno, a bit more conventional, complete with the longed-for hit single: the neotwist Ashes to Ashes, a funeral lullaby for junkie Major Tom with the hissing guitarchitecture of Chuck Hammer. It’s still the best Bowie of the ’80s, who doesn't mix with the "youngsters" of the new wave and anticipates a lot of '90s British pop (you can hear Blur’s Parklife in It’s No Game). A free hand to Fripp’s guitar to brutalize the robotic disco of Fashion.
