Hunky Dory

Description

2015 Remastered Softpack version of David Bowie's 4th album released in December 1971. The album was produced by David Bowie and Ken Scott. Includes the hits "Changes" and "Life on Mars ?" An essential album.With "Hunky Dory", the former David Jones, now David Bowie, fully embraces his colorful ambitions, and above all emphasizes the complexity and plurality of his style: androgynous look, scandalous attitudes, complex arrangements, intense use of metaphor, and veneration for the great icons of the fringe (Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol are clearly cited). Musically, the richness is already optimal with incredible melodies, a fireworks display of guitars by Mick Ronson ("Queen Bitch"), an omnipresence of piano ("Oh! You Pretty Things, Life On Mars?") and polished strings ("Quicksand"). Less metallic than the previous album "The Man Who Sold The World", "Hunky Dory" dares the decadent cabaret atmosphere, baroque folk, and sophisticated pop. The most beautiful kaleidoscope of its author?
