Guest Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 So, he's managed to put out a song without waiting 10 years. What do you reckon? [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFX1y62l9C4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFX1y62l9C4[/url] Sounds like his recording sessions were gatecrashed by Soft Machine. Perhaps he should have waited.

ezbass Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just as 'bad' as his last offering unfortunately; not for me. I was watching his 2007(?) Reality tour gig on Sky Arts yesterday, really good - what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacey Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Sounds like the Trolololololol song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I kind of liked the music but the vocal ruined it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Bowie does film noir thriller theme tune with sixth form level lyrics shocker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliusmonk Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Touch of evil stuff. Like it, though it seems the album version is 7 min long... Don't know if that's taking it too far. Visconti is generally good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A track really can't be judged on one listen. As we all know, it's often the "growers" that stay with us. So while I'm not sure if I'm going to like it... I have to take my hat off to him for not playing it safe - Respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]He never has I suppose and there have been other moments in his canon that have been questioned by the masses. Kudos for trying something else, but it's not for me. I'm sure that there are plenty who will love it though. [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1416146151' post='2607306'] Bowie does film noir thriller theme tune with sixth form level lyrics shocker...

KevB Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) As I said in the other thread when his last effort came up on youtube it isn't a million miles away from latter day Scott Walker. Edited November 16, 2014 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Really great. I think I'll play that next time I'm at an open mic. I bet it would work great on acoustic. And to boot..... The barmaids name is Sue and she loves a good throttling. It must be liberating to be at a stage in your career where you can churn out music like that because you want to. No pressure from the record company. I liked it, it was edgy. I don't think I wanna hear it again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Nowhere near as good as the song he performed in Extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Arkadin Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Also prefer this to anything on The Next Day album. Really enjoying the B-side 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore, described as what the Vorticists might have sounded like if they made music. Pretentious-sounding description until you hear it and actually it's pretty accurate (if you know the British Vorticists work that is).
