Wonderful recording of quirky and interesting pop music. Many disregard it for it's pop appeal and many others disregard it for it's experimental reach, and there are those who think it sounds dated. Man, Chuck Berry sounds dated, Hank Williams sounds dated, Early Clash sounds dated,, The Kinks sound dated, The Stooges sound dated and they all sound magical and magnificent. Lodger is how a lot of music sounded in the late 70's, but better and for me this particular recording echoes Iggy and Bowies ... Read More

whatever bowie album you happen to be listening to is just the best bowie album for all time - that law of bowie-physics-and-magic just happens to be true for this album too - you can listen to, feel, get off on, drape yourself with, imbibe and suffocate by, as you must, the stuff of this album as if it's just, at the very least, the finest of bowie's berlin days - how? - just listen to how each piece starts - each bit of texture and each move of tone is like nothing you've ever really heard before, ...

First of all, I want to say I will NOT be listening to these late 70's David Bowie albums very often (Heroes, Low, and Lodger) because for some reason, they give me incredibly severe nightmares.

The opening song is probably the prettiest and saddest song Bowie ever wrote. ... Read More

The "Berlin" trilogy - and David Bowie's collaboration with Brian Eno - was a penniless and weary traveler by the time of this May 1979 release.
Gone was the experimental edginess and creative power of Low and Heroes, which was replaced by a bland pop framework. Only the excellent Red Money dares to venture into a unique soundscape.
The first single - Boys Keep Swinging - is as bland as DJ - the follow-up 45 rpm - is energetic. The solid Look Back In Anger remains a Bowie gem that ... Read More

This is the last of 3 albums Bowie did with Eno (his "Berlin" period, although this one was not recorded in Berlin. This is my favorite one of the three, and possibly my favorite Bowie album period. This one has no instrumental pieces, like on "Low" and "Heroes". The first half of the album has a vague "travel" theme to it. In several songs Bowie mixes in bits of African drumming or arabesque sounding string synthesizer sounds. These are all rock or pop songs, but they are all "deconstructed" pop songs, ... Read More
