The quailty sounds pretty crappy as advertised. Gonna wait and give it another shot later.

As soon as you listen to it, I'd love to discuss it. I'd actually go on a Bowie marathon right now if I didn't just get back into Simpsons.

High quality version in 320 from the CD guys: https://mega.nz/#F!kk9HlBhS!fN3BzoUz2fJ7eAG4kXZeqw

It's absolutely mega. Love the free jazz sections and the mixture of progressive song structures with the jazz and DnB elements. Some strong song-writing. Sue sounds fantastic. Best thing he's done since Scary Monsters, and that's legit this time.

:D that one always gets said when he releases a new album

Sounding strong from the brief listen I gave it last night. I'll check it out properly this evening.

I know, I know! But possibly with the exception of Outside (need more listens to form a proper opinion), it really is the strongest thing he's done.

Never mind Scary Monsters, this is on the same level as the Berlin trilogy.

I need to give Low and Heroes relistens. I never could get into Low, because the songs were shorter then they deserved.

Just gave it a first listen, I thought that it was great and was only disappointed with the closing track. I especially loved the horns on this one.

JGuy Grungeman 01-08-2016 09:34 AM

I thought the closing track was great. A high and cheery note to end haunting music. It reminds me of It's Such a Beautiful Day, where the movie's kind of depressing but t ends happily and beautifully despite the inevitable.
