This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

Digitally remastered by Peter Mew and Nigel Reeve (1999, Abbey Road Studios, London, England).

LODGER (1979) was third in Bowie's Berlin trilogy, his collaboration with legendary producer/experimentalist Brian Eno, which began with HEROES and LOW (both released in 1977). While those dark records were heavy on alien-sounding instrumentals, LODGER had none, and even contained songs that seemed relatively straightforward. Considered inaccessible at the time, LODGER now sounds like a classic, transitional Bowie album, if only for its rich spirit of experimentation. From the Middle Eastern strains of "Yassassin" to the bizarre wordplay of "African Night Flight," LODGER feels like a journey through strange lands.

Songs like "Boys Keep Swinging" (later covered by ex-Bangle Susanna Hoffs) and "DJ" have the structure of traditional rock songs, but the odd textures, rough edges and dissonant elements make them into something richer and stranger. "Look Back in Anger," with fierce guitar playing by Adrian Belew, became a staple of Bowie's live concerts for years to come. "Red Money" is Bowie's adaptation of Iggy Pop's decadent, futuristic "Sister Midnight" from THE IDIOT. The anthemic "Red Sails" (co-written with Eno) has a majestic sense of forward motion, its glorious crescendo and fadeout providing the record's most spine-tingling moments.

Recorded at Mountain Studios, Montreaux, Switzerland.

Personnel: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, piano, Chamberlain, synthesizer); Tony Visconti (guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Adrian Belew (guitar, mandolin); Brian Eno (guitar, trumpet, horn, piano, synthesizer, sound effects); Carlos Alomar (guitar); Simon House (mandolin, violin); Stan (saxophone); Sean Mays (piano); Roger Powell (synthesizer); George Murray (bass); Dennis Davis (percussion).

Recording information: 1979.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Q (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Bowie's natural bumptiousness is clearly back on 'DJ' and 'Boys Keep Swinging'..."
Q (10/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a crucial part of rock history..."
Uncut (p.114) - "It's an album that captures the sound of a restless, skittering mind clutching at rhythms and stimuli as they float upriver, picking them up and staring them out with cool elan."

Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars perfect final of trilogy
this is the perfect final act of the Berliner trilogy; personally, I prefer this one to the other 2, it's really amazing and some songs are really the best of that period.

4 stars Where was Bowie?
This record is as difficult to pidgeonhole as any in the master's opus. At times manically playfull, it sounds as though Bowie is blowing the dust from his voice after the preceding, better known albums. Although some songs don't really gel (DJ) this album as a whole is entertaining, edgy and strangely unsettling. Worth repeated listenings, far better than its reputation allows, and more interesting than 'Scary Monsters'.

5 stars A Searching Bowie In Berlin
David Bowie is reallly doing some of his best experimental music with touching songs like 'Move On' which has great lyrics, and intense songs like 'DJ' and Look Back in Anger. Bowie's Singing is almost desperate at times and he and Eno are working in the sound textures to give Lodger a timeless sound. Really great!

David Bowie Scary Monsters CD  (1980) Enhanced CD

Lodger
CD $12.15  4.7 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Fresh off his Berlin trilogy (LOW, HEROES, LODGER), David Bowie released SCARY MONSTERS, an album that continued the cool, detached, electronic-flavored sound he'd been experimenting with on the aforementioned records. Robert Fripp's distinctively angular guitar style contributes greatly to the resulting Kraftwerk-flavored funk of "Fashion" and the jittery paranoia of the title track. Elsewhere, Bowie updates the saga of Major Tom with "Ashes to Ashes" and turns to Tom Verlaine for the new wave nihilism of "Kingdom Come" which also features Fripp on guitar. Robert Fripp was far from the only great guest invited to play on SCARY MONSTERS. Pete Townshend's swirling guitar on "Because You're Young" made it an underrated classic in Bowie's canon. SCARY MONSTERS proved to ...

David Bowie Young Americans CD  (1975) Enhanced CD

Lodger
CD $12.49  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
David Bowie abandoned the glam/sci-fi personae of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs with this radical departure. Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, the home of Philadelphia International, it featured the label's crack house band and, as a result, confirmed the singer's growing love of soul and R&B. Pulsating dance grooves abound, in particular on the disco-influenced 'Fame', which topped the US singles chart. The song was co-written with John Lennon, a compliment Bowie repaid by reinventing the Beatles' 'Across The Universe' as a dancefloor classic. Such self-confidence abounds throughout this album which shows the singer firmly in command of yet another musical direction. Recorded at Electric Ladyland, New York, New York. Personnel: David Bowie (vocals); John Lennon (vocals, guitar); Luther ...

David Bowie Station To Station CD  (1976) Enhanced CD

Lodger
CD $11.95  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
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 ...

David Bowie Low CD  (1977) Enhanced CD

Lodger
CD $11.95  4.4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
The first (Heroes and Lodger would follow) of Bowie's three Berlin albums. Living there as a semi-recluse for three years, he worked with Svengali/producer Brian Eno and the results of their collaborations helped change the face of the European mainstream. Artists such as Gary Numan, Ultravox and OMD were indebted to the sound Bowie had created with the synthesizer to build a somewhat terse wall of sound. Critically acclaimed, but a relative commercial failure, apart from the surprise `Sound And Vision' hit single, it remains as a pertinent reminder of Bowie's ability to surprise and enlighten. Recorded at Chateau d'Herouville, France and Hansa By The Wall, Berlin, Germany. Personnel: David Bowie (vocals, various instruments); Brian Eno (vocals, ...

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" ...

Lodger
CD $16.39
CD BABY is pleased and proud to announce the addition of Limerick, Ireland, alternative rock band Seneca to its roster of indie–music clients. Seneca’s debut CD release "Sweeter Than Bourbon" is a mix of indie guitars, radio friendly melodies, heart–warming lyrics and an emotional authenticity that enhances the already well crafted songs and musical production. Most often compared to alternative acts The Pixies and Arcade Fire, this Limerick four–piece is one of the most promising and talented Irish bands to have emerged in recent years. Seneca is: Rob Hope on guitars, vocals and keys, Yvonne Conaty on bass, vocals and keys, Brendan O’Gorman on guitar and Daragh O’Loughlin on drums.Seneca’s debut single ’Smile’ – released late 2007 – entered the Irish Singles Chart at 33 and climbed to it’s top position of 27. Since then Seneca has been actively touring their home country as well as the United States and mainland Europe.“It’s 15 years since the Cranberries went supernova, and the feeling in Limerick is that it could be time for another local act to make the big step up. One of the names being mentioned ...
