The Man Who Sold the World专辑介绍

  引起轰动的1970年David的第三张专辑《The Man Who Sold The World》,封面上David梳着长长的卷发,黑色长靴,丝缎长裙,胸口低开,只用两枚褡扣系住。这个美丽而在当时看来惊世骇俗的造型开创了真正的 Glam摇滚的时代,David一共用了三种形象出现,一种是封面长发长裙的,一种是早期《Space Oddity》卷发形象,另一种是贝蕾帽,金发温柔地垂下,灰蓝色紧身呢子外套。
  这是David短暂而迷妙的时期,犹如他专辑的音乐风格。一个花花公子的浅吟低唱,带着点玩世不恭,一点物质,一点讽刺,一点慵懒与诱惑,模糊了性别的。音乐相对那个时代是复杂的,正处在音乐从早期披头士似的情歌中变质,并开始热中于各种音响实验的阶段,那些歌曲中经常充斥着一些不和谐与突兀。
  但总的来说,《The Man Who Sold The World》专辑自身的风格是比较统一的,David有些妩媚的嗓音和邪气的歌曲加上晦涩又有些放纵古怪的歌词融合成一种美妙的风格,独特的,只属于David自己的音乐。

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Even though it contained no hits, The Man Who Sold the World, for most intents and purposes, is the beginning of David Bowie's classic period. Working with guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti for the first time, Bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface but sounds more gnarled upon each listen. The mix is off-center, with the fuzz-bass dominating the compressed, razor-thin guitars and Bowie's strangled, affected voice. The sound of The Man Who Sold the World is odd, but the music is bizarre itself, with Bowie's bizarre, paranoid futuristic tales melded to Ronson's riffing and the band's relentless attack. Musically, there isn't much innovation on The Man Who Sold the World -- it is almost all hard blues-rock or psychedelic folk-rock -- but there's an unsettling edge to the band's performance, which makes the record one of Bowie's best albums. [Rykodisc's 1990 CD reissue includes four bonus tracks, including the previously unreleased "Lightning Frightening," and the single "Holy Holy," and both sides of the 1971 "Arnold Corns" single, "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang On to Yourself," which are early and inferior versions of songs that would later appear on Ziggy Stardust.]
