Ο Iggy σε ρόλο “πειραματόζωου του Bowie” (η περιγραφή δική του) από ένα άλμπουμ όχι ακουσμένο όσο θα ’πρεπε. Το The Idiot ήταν ένα είδος ηχητικού πρωτόλειου της βερολινέζικης τριλογίας – οι ηχογραφήσεις του, με παραγωγό τον DB ολοκληρώθηκαν ένα μήνα πριν απ’ την έναρξη εκείνων για το Low. Πέρα από ιστορικές λεπτομέρειες, το ‘Mass Production’ (μουσική Bowie – στίχοι Pop) είναι το ζοφερότερο ίσως κομμάτι που έχει ερμηνεύσει ο μεγάλος καλλιτέχνης. Και, από κάθε άποψη, ένα αριστούργημα.
✻
Iggy in the role of “Bowie’s guinea pig” (his own description) from an album that hasn’t been listened to as much as it deserves. The Idiot was a kind of sonic draft for the Berlin Trilogy — its sessions, produced by DB, were completed just one month before those for Low began. Beyond historical details, ‘Mass Production’ (music by Bowie – lyrics by Pop) is perhaps the bleakest piece the great artist has ever performed. And, in every respect, a masterpiece.

Enjoy!
