^ Well, you're right; from what I've heard so far, Blackstar is something special. I really like the sombre sound and the horns. Given how the release is so linked to the news of his death, the sinister videos that go with are very striking too. Thanks for the rec.
Another artist whose sound changed repeatedly is Beefheart. Apart from his vocals, it's difficult to see much similarity between the consecutive albums Safe As Milk/Strictly Personal/ Trout Mask. But I was happy to go with the changes - until the descent to Bluejeans and Moonbeams that is!
