it also invented New Order
Bowie was an inside job.
They were both based
Iggy really didn’t like this album, this was just Bowie making music through Iggy. It was also playing on the record player when they found Ian’s body. Tbh I own it and feel it’s overrated, cool piece of music history but later musicians made this sound come together.
I think it's fantastic still, I wonder how much of the songs were more Bowie in terms of lyrics than Iggy since it's said that they wrote it together. But it's amazing how he made this since it wasn't like anything he ever made before and was so innovative for post punk, in a lot of ways what Low was too. Fucking genius
This, the Low and Heroes make a better trilogy together I think and The Idiot seems a nice transition piece between station to station and low.
I think Station - The Idiot - Low is what it's all about because Station was the fucking nightmare you know while Low and the Idiot was about the aftermath of all that trauma, how it's uplifting sounding and simplistic but there's an undeniable presence of sadness
Heroes to me was about Bowie kind of blossoming into something else, people compare it to Low all the time but I think Station is more connected than Heroes is
Given how theres footage of sister midnight being rehearsed for the isolar tour seems that one atleast is almost all bowie except for a couple of lyrics maybe. Sometimes I wonder how that one would have looked on Station to Station.
I think my main problem with It is that it sounds too crisp and cold for Iggys life affirming and strong vocal style. Recordings of the time were all very warm and raw. The synths and stuff were all new and a unique approach but because of that I feel like Bowie was a stronger songwriter on guitar.
