i kind of expected a response from you
. thanks.
to be honest, i haven't so far particularly liked
any of "Heroes" except, as you said, "Heroes" and Moss Garden. i like the idea that i might get to like it better with more listens. i shall make a bit of an effort.
i've noticed you mention the half-way mark thing with Bowie albums before, but i can't say i've noticed it myself, with Low or "Heroes", apart from the obvious "it's all instrumentals from here" thing. The feel of those records seems to me to be fairly consistent.
i'm familar-ish with Achtung Baby, 'cos my brother's a big U2 fan, but i really can't see the connection there. again, maybe a few more listens are in order
i absolutely adore both Joy Division and Eno's Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, as well as the first Interpol record, and i think my next Amazon spree might include Scary Monsters and Station to Station.
A friend of mine, when i told him of my immense love for Low, told me that he'd been unimpressed with it, and that i should listen to Ziggy Stardust. which i did. and, i mean, it's good and all, but it's really nothing more than a particularly fine pop/rock record. didn't do much for me.
Joethelion, what are your favourite Bowie records?
