DIAMOND DOGS

Description

Because he sensed the changing wind better than anyone, David Bowie decided to leave glam and England behind in the mid-1970s. As a passport to America, he concocted almost single-handedly (without his Spiders From Mars, reduced to only pianist Mike Garson) a curious, deranged rock album of astonishing richness. Since the Orwell family denied him the rights to make a musical of "1984", Bowie invented this concept album on steroids, in which he adopted some of Orwellian themes for himself. Capable of the best as well as the excellent, David Bowie, assisted by a rediscovered Tony Visconti, brought together on this powerful record, with its controversial original cover, rock hits ("Rebel Rebel"), funk stammerings ("1984"), infernal ballads ("Rock'n'Roll With Me") and even a sublime progressive track - "Sweet Thing / Candidate / Sweet Thing (Reprise)" - which continues, thirty years after its release, to earn the admiration of specialists.
