as Bowie's actual output, I really like Diamond Dogs.

Big Brother great album

@Elric wut you know about this

one of my favorite bowie albums

Still my favorite discovery of 74. The whole song is incredible, but those final 2 and half minutes are transcendent for me.

“Oh dear, look what they’ve done to the blues”

Neil really could have had one of the like five albums in history where every song is 10/10 but he had to put Vampire Blues on there

its probably grown on me the most. maybe my #5 or #6 by him now

just such a solid listen all the way through. great rockers and ballads. and the weird apocalyptic d***gy atmosphere is cool

nice extra skanky version on the outro

need to checkout more Dennis

the Vultures of its day

this s*** so life affirming to me

exactly how I feel about that Dadawah album I posted the other day

did you check it out or already know it?

wow this album has some immaculate tunes

pull up m8 @suzuki

imma give it a shake tmrw while I'm driving

first Rock Bottom headphone/vinyl listen in years

It's such a hard vibe to describe, not quite spacey or spiritual really.. kinda transports you to a metaphysical realm or some s*** that I don't think anybody in rock had tapped into yet.
Especially not relentlessly sustained for the entire runtime. Eno would next year and then helped Bowie get there in '77. Radiohead decades from now would be pinching their most unsettling moves from it.

Constructing this post modern soundscape architecture or whatever thats already doing the most absorbing thing you've ever heard when suddenly the bottom drops out and you're thrust through some temporal abstraction black hole that literally will take your breath away and deeply unsettle you. A handful of moments on here that are so expertly crafted its mind boggling.

As much of a Neil, Eno and Gene Clark stan as I am with peaks I will rank higher than Rock Bottoms, still gotta give Wyatt AOTY probably cause this thing as a whole was on another level;

Masterpiece

Also I really gotta give many more listens to his full discography. So much good s*** in there

90s and 00s albums kinda mind blowing but I haven't heard in a few years now

In some ways rock bottom feels like a final conclusion of Canterbury scene. Even though it's kinda beyond it at that point

(And other Canterbury great stuff continues on for a while longer)

Yeah feels like the culmination of Canterbury and event horizon for full blown 70s art rock

I wonder how much credit is due to Nick Mason for production duties

Same. Like a lot of artists, I pumped my breaks on their later discog because I knew this thread was just getting to their peak eras.

It’s not my favorite Cale album, but it’s still great work. Crazy I used to ever dismiss the guy.

First half is almost perfect imo

good morning 🙏

almost restoring the feeling @RVI
