Taking the detached plastic soul of Young Americans to an elegant, robotic extreme, Station to Station is a transitional album that creates its own distinctive style. Abandoning any pretense of being a soulman, yet keeping rhythmic elements of soul, David Bowie positions himself as a cold, clinical crooner and explores a variety of styles. Everything from epic ballads and disco to synthesized avant pop is present on Station to Station, but what ties it together is Bowie's cocaine-induced paranoia and detached musical persona. At its heart, Station to Station is an avant-garde art-rock album, most explicitly on "TVC 15" and the epic sprawl of the title track, but also on the cool crooning of "Wild Is the Wind" and "Word on a Wing," as well as the disco stylings of "Golden Years." It's not an easy album to warm to, but its epic structure and clinical sound were an impressive, individualistic achievement, as well as a style that would prove enormously influential on post-punk. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
STATION TO STATION was the soundtrack to Bowie's nightlife. This time around he fashioned himself as the king of slick, the "Thin White Duke/Throwing darts in lover's eyes." This new persona enabled Bowie to show his sensual side and his affection for American soul music--something that would have seemed out of context on previous efforts.
The album's smooth vibe is evident in the funky guitar of "Golden Years," and mixed with a dangerous charm and the "side effects of the cocaine" on "Stay." Bowie had miraculously done it again--he picked up a new musical identity, and molded it to perfection.
STATION TO STATION was a refining period for Bowie. Gone was his other-worldly sexuality; The Thin White Duke was right here on Earth, no alien veneer, just a man completely run by his desires. It is then purely appropriate that the medium through which he expressed this lustful angle would be soul music. Carlos Alomar's biting guitar on "Golden Years" is straight out of the James Brown catalog, while the frantic drums and background vocals of "Stay" are pure strobe light disco.Rolling Stone (4/11/02, p.107) - Ranked #21 in Rolling Stone's "50 Coolest Records" - "...A space-rock masterpiece..."
Q (6/91) - 5 Stars - Indispensable - "sees the `Thin White Duke' staggering through a cocaine blizzard...but the delights of "Station To Station" suggest the walk he took on the wild side did him no creative damage."
Vibe (12/99, p.164) - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century David Bowie Station To Station Songs Station To Station Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  The Dark Star
This album served as a presentation of a newly emerging side of Bowie: wasted by rock and cocaine excess, courting demons and the European zeitgeist. Although a relately brief encounter at 6 songs there is something epic nonetheless, as introduced by the eponymous title track. More than any other album this captures Bowie at his most fragile, tortured, contradictory and creative. From the sinister beginning to the pleading loveliness of the cover 'wild is the wind' this is music at its most compelling.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Awesome album, awesome remaster.
This has always been one of my favorite Bowie albums - the title track alone is worth the price of admission. The album strikes me as Bowie's unique take on 70s disco and his nightclub escapades, written while he was in another world on cocaine at the time. The remastering is great, with the songs having much more bottom end and presence than ever before. If you are a casual Bowie fan and want to add to your collection, this is a great choice. Recommended!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No "The european cannon is here"
The return of the thin white duke throwing darts in lovers eyes, what a magical moment, such is the stuff from where dreams are woven, bending sound, dredging the ocean lost in my circle.
It will drive you like a demon from station to station.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Bowie: The Artist Supreme
Bowie's talent and range are evident in this must have CD for not just every Bowie fan, but every fan of rock and roll history. The music and lyrics are hauntingly beautiful, a mesmerizing classic masterpiece if ever there was one. If Bowie's not the top single artist of all time, he's certainly in the top 5. Buy it. You'll love it!

Nights Are Forever was the breakthrough album for Dan Seals and John Coley after some sincere and excellent work on A&M Records in the early '70s. Two of their biggest hits were the title track and the beautiful "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight." Those songs are a good indication of the fine performances this 1976 album contains. The duo's originals like "Long Way Home" and the Dan Fogelberg-ish "Westward Wind" could have been hits as well displaying superb musicianship and delicate vocals. This album is very much a companion piece to the Parker McGee album recorded ...

JIM MORRISJim Morris is an articulate singer/songwriter with a devotion to storytelling. Whether it is a thoughtful ballad about doomed love or an anthem to a night of drunken revelry, the listener can always count on well-crafted songs with carefully drawn characters, clever lyrics, and satirical charm.Although Jim’s musical style is reminiscent of Jimmy Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker, he has a knack for defying categorization. He mixes a whimsical island sound with a splash of Texas to produce a sound that is uniquely Gulf and Western.Jim grew up in Georgia and Florida and has a heritage rich in music. His grandfather led a dance band, and everyone in the family either played an instrument or sang. At age 10 Jim taught himself to play the guitar by listening to Hank Williams records. After college while pursuing a career in human resources management, he continued to write songs and dream of the day when he could do it full-time. “After I graduated, I wanted to be a drifter and a writer; instead, I settled for corporate executive and closet entertainer.”During his 15-year corporate career, his job allowed him to live in several interesting locales, such as Montana, New Orleans, St. Simons Island, and the Chesapeake Bay area, all of which would figure prominently in his writing. Following a business trip during which he renewed his love affair with the southwest coast of Florida, Jim took the leap he had been contemplating for some time and left the corporate world for good.Jim’s initial plan was to write songs and play gigs around Florida. From the beginning he took a big risk by featuring original music. “I spent about a year writing and developing a catalog of songs. I was unsure of my ability to sing and play the guitar professionally, but I thought my songs might separate me from the other performers.”A fortuitous meeting with recording artist Randy Matthews would result in Matthews producing Jim’s first recording, “Laid Back and Key Wasted,” released ...
