Description
Though he continued to evolve throughout his career, Bowie's post-SCARY MONSTERS output was markedly less stellar than his acclaimed '70s work. LET'S DANCE, however, is arguably his most memorable '80s recording. It didn't hurt that he reached out to some talented friends, like Stevie Ray Vaughan (who makes his recorded debut here as lead guitarist) and co-writers Iggy Pop ("China Girl") and Peter Godwin (of "Imagesof Heaven" fame, who helps out on "Criminal World".) Ultimately, though, it's Bowie's unique vision that makes LET'S DANCE a success. His funky, synth-driven avant-pop romps are shot through with a romance and poignancy that sets them apart from much of his later work. "Modern Love", for example, manages to be irresistibly catchy and ostensibly upbeat whiledepicting alienation and unfulfilled desires.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Forget this Bowie SACD, 22 Jan 2006 By A Customer After buying the superb Ziggy Stardust SACD, which is an excellent surround mix, I was hoping for more with this classic album on SACD. However it's just the stereo version and sounds no better than the regular remastered edition. Don't waste your money on this expensive SACD. Bowie and EMI could have done a much better job than this. Shame!!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...
