David Bowie - Tin Machine - Bus Stop
David Bowie - Tin Machine - Amazing
David Bowie - Tin Machine - I Can't Read
Mistreated album, sneered at by many and almost forgotten. Certainly, we are not in the presence of a masterpiece, far from it, but there are at least five tracks that I would include in its songbook, and the best ones are co-written with Reeves Gabrels, a magnificent guitarist and a strong point for me. Unfortunately, it was a real band, democratic in nature. The Sales brothers, with little realism, set out to be equals in every way and, unfortunately, they find ample room as composers in the subsequent, unnecessary second album (aside from Goodbye Mr. Ed), which further lowers the stock of TM, who, rightly, called it quits shortly after.

Eternity
Grinder
Lobotomizer
The three young lads settle in at Voices of Wonder, a 'home' label towards which they will later have words full of esteem and affection ("those bastards at VoW"), and they come out with this crude, rough, and vulgar Lobotomizer. Out of tune and appropriately dirty, acidic and anything but reassuring, the long debut of Our Boys is permeated by a sinister unease expressed through a 'frontal' approach, extremely aggressive throughout almost the entire record, with the exception of the two instances I've included here. A prologue to an explosion of bulimic creativity that, as far as I'm concerned, has few equals.
