5.0 out of 5 stars Head Music, September 3, 2004

If you grew up in the 70's, you know what head music is. This is it! This was my introduction to David Bowie and it remains my favorite Bowie album, almost 30 years later. Many tracks are overlooked in favor of the song that was overplayed on FM Radio, Golden Years. Even for myself, it was many years before I truly appreciated "Word on a Wing" and "Wild Is the Wind." My 3 initial favorites were Station to Stataion, TVC 15 and Stay. They remain the backbone of the album. If you haven't heard it yet, buy it. And then put on your headphones and zone out for a while. You wont regret it. Enjoy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the 1991 pressing!, June 26, 2009

This is not a review of the album. If you know it, you don't need to be told: in six songs, Bowie creates an atmosphere of emotional exposure that will never leave you.

But the hollow audio on this CD is a far cry from the wall of sound I remember from my 80s vinyl. Pending purchase of a disc with the 1999 remix, I refer you to positive reviews thereof (Station to Station) or even better with the original B & W cover (Station to Station), though I can't vouch for the Virgin US release having the same sound as the Japanese import.

PS: I don't care if I'm in a minority, but for me "TVC 15" isn't the most memorable song on the disc, and "Stay" is a call from the heart, not a disco throwaway. Also, the bonus songs on some CDs (Live versions of "Word on a Wing" and "Stay") are rather superfluous, as other reviewers point out: only for collectors of alternate versions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GEM!, September 3, 1999

Wow. Bowie never ceases to amaze. This album is dark and moody. And if you don't find yourself listening to this CD twice then you must be nuts!
