Station to Station

Davie Bowie在1976年推出的一张专辑，制作这张专辑时他正深陷药物之瘾，以致于常常耽误了录制的进程。然而尽管如此，专辑中合成器和电吉他的使用仍然带来了十分奇异的效果，昭示了他音乐的新方向。专辑在美国排到第3，英国排到第5，"Golden Years"，"TVC 15" 、"Wild is the Wind"都是打榜的歌曲，专辑销量一般，但也成为了金唱片。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第323位。 by Stephen Thomas Erlewine Taking the detached plastic soul of Young Americans to an elegant, robotic extreme, Station to Station is a transitional album that creates its own distinctive style. Abandoning any pretense of being a soulman, yet keeping rhythmic elements of soul, David Bowie positions himself as a cold, clinical crooner and explores a variety of styles. Everything from epic ballads and disco to synthesized avant pop is present on Station to Station, but what ties it together is Bowie's cocaine-induced paranoia and detached musical persona. At its heart, Station to Station is an avant-garde art-rock album, most explicitly on "TVC 15" and the epic sprawl of the title track, but also on the cool crooning of "Wild Is the Wind" and "Word on a Wing," as well as the disco stylings of "Golden Years." It's not an easy album to warm to, but its epic structure and clinical sound were an impressive, individualistic achievement, as well as a style that would prove enormously influential on post-punk.
