David Bowie - Low
Side note - Love the cover art

Speed of Life - An excellent start, all instrumental, it simultaneously sounds 80s and futuristic. Also it grows on you the more you listen. An upbeat and catchy appetiser of a song, the perfect opening statement for an album that I'm now really looking forward to. 10/10.

Sounds like the epic finale to a space film, someone has just sacrificed themselves in slow motion so that a planet of aliens can survive. 8/10

Don't Save us from the flames - The second song of the three that I know on this album. It's super fast paced and euphoric. The vocals are ... read more
