First listen 28/01/2026. A rare instance where Bowie was behind the curve, and while some of these songs are infused with enough of his magic to be quite enjoyable (most notably the excellent Loving The Alien), they are mainly weak imitations of various 80s pop trends. Worth a listen for the opening track and to hear him try a reggae voice, HA!

A mixed bag with flashes of the genius to come

First listen 26/01/2026. I really loved some of the instrumentals on this otherwise fairly standard folk record. Had to dock a few points off my rating as the vocals are identical to Phoebe Bridgers'- it goes beyond inspiration into flat out copying.
