Editorial Reviews

Product description

1976 Classic Fts : "Wild is The Wind","TVC15","Golden Years" - things go better with coke!

Amazon.com

After the success of the dance hits "Fame" and "Young Americans" (both off 1975's Young Americans), Bowie seemed to step back, ponder the future of rock, and then turn up the guitars and the art-rock sensibilities and make a completely engaging and evocative album. From the epic title track (introducing the Thin White Duke character and building into an incendiary rocker) to the irresistible "Golden Years" (another dance hit) and on to the physically wrenching and funk-drenched "Stay," the soul of David Bowie is pretty much meshed into every track. The playful "TVC15" takes the listener on a bumpy ride into unholy tech-love, and the gorgeous "Wild is the Wind" and "Word on a Wing" have Bowie stepping out of his rocker persona and into sensual crooner mode. Strong from beginning to end. --Lorry Fleming

Remastered 2016 vs 2000
5 Stars
Remastered 2016 vs 2000
Alright so I plugged this one into my MacBook and hooked up my monitors to hear the difference. I had bought the earlier CD master for my girlfriend back in December along with all the other Bowie albums as a Christmas gift and she let me keep lossless digital copies. Then I saw this "2016 remastered version" on Amazon and I felt so chumped and figured I would buy it because it must sound way better!Here are the things I noticed. The 2000 master has a higher noise floor. At the start of Station to Station I could hear the white noise come in a lot earlier, and it drowned out the beginning flanger effect a lot more than on the new 2016 remaster. So that's one update.I also noticed they equalized the masters in the new version to kill that brittle 90s CD sound. The highs are not so sibilant and hard on the ears. They brought the focus back to the whole spectrum of the song, whereas before there was much more hiss and bite.The third thing I noticed was they sound like they brought a subwoofer into the studio so they could master that bottom low end (<50 Hz) for today's speaker systems. 17 years ago consumer systems didn't have much lowend at all, we were all playing CDs on our little boom boxes for the most part. But now they have satisfied our need to hear the kick drum actually get kicked.The fourth thing I noticed is these masters weren't compressed for loudness sake, they are dynamic and punchy coming in at a fantastic -16 LUFS. If you don't know about the loudness wars I would look it up, it's very important to know about how it's ruined music mastering for the past 20 years.The final thing I noticed was the new masters have a more cohesive sound. There are backing vocals you can hear easier now because it sounds like they brought them more to center stage. The middle frequencies are able to shine now that the high end isn't overpowering, so you'll notice more of the actual song, like guitars and vocal harmonies.I would say it's worth it if you haven't bought the album on CD already. If you really care about taking full advantage of new mastering tech, go for it. But both still sound great and it may not even be worth the extra $12, and I'm picky about how my albums sound. Who knows if you can even tell the difference on vinyl, it's top and bottom end get chopped off after mastering to fit the waves on the record. So you probably won't hear the differences I described on vinyl. Maybe on tape you will, tapes carry the full 20-20 spectrum.I'm pleased with this purchase on CD anyways
