Repeating the formula of Low's half-vocal/half-instrumental structure, Heroes develops and strengthens the sonic innovations David Bowie and Brian Eno explored on their first collaboration. The vocal songs are fuller, boasting harder rhythms and deeper layers of sound. Much of the harder-edged sound of Heroes is due to Robert Fripp's guitar, which provides a muscular foundation for the electronics, especially on the relatively conventional rock songs. Similarly, the instrumentals on Heroes are more detailed, this time showing a more explicit debt to German synth pop and European experimental rock. Essentially, the difference between Low and Heroes lies in the details, but the record is equally challenging and groundbreaking. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The Germanic feel of this album is not surprising, as David Bowie recorded it in Berlin during his period of infatuation with the city. HEROES is a much more lively affair than LOW and has the benefit of a title track that remains one of Bowie's finest songs, in addition to excellent contributions from Robert Fripp and Brian Eno.
The thick, mysterious textures of "Beauty and the Beast" set the tone for the rest of the album. The Eno-influenced "Sense of Doubt" is the flip side to the majestic "Heroes"--dark and moody, as is "Neukoln". But, despite (or perhaps because of) the charged atmosphere of doom and gloom, this is a seminal Bowie album. Heroes Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   More excellent than expectation
This is the 2nd time to buy this album,
1st time was more that 20 years ago.
Then much much more fantastic than I remember.

Bowie Does It Again
Well David Bowie has released yet another album of interesting and thought provoking music. He always seems to be on the cutting edge of what is out there. While it is much different than Earthling (his last effort) the sound is still very full and rich. The guitar work is beautiful and classic. The bass and drums provide a very solid background to the rich music that plays. And of course there is Bowie's voice. He can still pull off some of the coolest vocals in the industry. Choice cuts include, Thursday's Child, If I'm Dreaming My Life, What's Really Happening, The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell, and The Dreamers. But let me point out the other songs are also very good. Overall this release by Bowie is extremely well balanced and he pulls pieces from all his past albums, stirs them up and gives us 'Hours...' And I thank him for that.

David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, an album that effectively acts as an encapsulation of all his '70s experiments. Reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as well, Bowie creates dense but accessible music throughout Scary Monsters. Though it doesn't have the vision of his other classic records, it wasn't designed to break new ground -- it was ...

DJ Adam Freeland initially cut his teeth within the burgeoning U.K. breakbeat scene; becoming an in-demand producer, he scored remixes for both mainstream and underground artists as diverse as Sarah Vaughan, the Orb, and Nirvana. MEXICO CITY, his latest mix CD, takes on a suitably eclectic track selection that reflects Freeland's diverse influences. Incorporating everything from '80s-style electro, glitch-ridden minimal techno, and banging breaks into the seamless set, MEXICO CITY is a rough and rugged ride through the grittier side of dance music.
As most music scenes do, dance music has become horribly and irrevocably Balkanized over the past 15 years. House, breakbeat, jungle, and techno have all splintered into numerous subgenres, and those subgenres have split again and again, until the styles have become so numerous and the distinctions between them so minute that only the most obsessive can keep track of them. And the exponents of each subgenre dig themselves into musical grooves that get deeper and narrower with every passing ...
