Aladdin Sane [30th Anniversary Edition] by David Bowie on CD
The 30th Anniversary Edition of David Bowie's sci-fi, lounge-jazz, glam rock album Aladdin Sane is a treat for those who are obsessed with packaging and extra tracks. In brief, to discuss the original album once more: Aladdin Sane, following the uberplanned and calculated Ziggy Stardust, came off as a far stranger recording. None of the high-concept drama and campiness of the former record is revisited in kind. Instead, tougher rock songs such as "Panic in Detroit," "Watch That Man," and "The Jean Genie," as well as a wonderfully and raucously covered "Let's Spend the Night Together," are contrasted with jarring, nearly serial dissonance on "Cracked Actor," the title track, and "Lady Grinning Soul." Here, science fiction a la Phillip K. Dick, freakish lounge-jazz, and cinematic incidental music vie for space in Bowie's articulation. All of it is compressed into a particular glam rock aesthetic that made attempts to conserve a bent, if present, innocence (check "Drive-In Saturday for clues with the doo wop choruses). The result feels like rock & roll fragmentation, ahead of its time. Aladdin Sane might have sounded immediately comfortable alongside the Fall's Live at the Witch Trials or the Teardrop Explodes' Kilimanjaro album, not to mention portions of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures from a few years later. All of that said, as an album it actually has aged better than Ziggy because the listener can never be completely familiar with its shape-shifting elemental constructs and medication-inducing mood swings. As for the bonus material here, it is nothing short of fabulous. Disc two is chock-full: two versions of "The Jean Genie" (including the single mix), the single edit of "Time," two versions of "John, I'm Only Dancing," the previously unreleased "Life on Mars?," the original studio recording of "All the Young Dudes," a different, unreleased version of ""Drive-In Saturday," and live versions of "Changes" and "Superman." The booklet is a book: 42 pages chock-full of color photos, many rare, killer session notes for everything, and an essay that includes quotes from Bowie and virtually everyone associated with the album and band at that particular time. This is fine treatment, along with stellar sound given to one of the most misunderstood rock & roll albums of all time. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
