On Friday was presented “Black Star” by David Bowie. It has heard our critics – at this time, no one knew how sick David Bowie was.
It turns once again the question of whether we should take him at his word. David Bowie, old trickster. Whether it really is ordered so dark around his mind as on his new, appearing on Friday album “Black Star” (Sony) seems has when he goes around gloomy Electric Shadows, “I am a Black Star.” Triumphal sounds Do not touch that. . Rather, as if Bowie implode Case

It turns out that this exclamation is then not directly related to himself but transported for demonstration purposes the gesture of the fundamentalist preacher. “Something happened on the day he died,” Bowie describes with severe voice the mysterious moment when the prophet dies and an intrepid takes his place in order to “black star” to going to a figure of enlightenment which the world as Bowie sees it, flooded with negative energy and black light and are merely hopeless stammering of themselves, the good and evil swapped and people upside were born … “I can not answer why … Just go with me … I am takin ‘you home … I am the great I am. “
Of course it is highly confusing as David Bowie deconstructed as master of all cases the promises of religious leaders with the means of a pop song. For structurally, which he has demonstrated in earlier periods identity, among other things with his notorious appearance as a dictator in the Victoria Station, are Popstar and demagogue closely related. So how to time separate one from the other

Especially since last positive remnants of Bowie’s pop-cultural exhilaration be absorbed by a crude piece of electronic breakbeat jazz. Radiohead with tenor saxophone, so the non-circular tumbling rhythm of the theme song to listen to, mumbles something about the Bowie of a solitary candle that “everything” is at the center. The Track changes tempo and structure, but he is going nowhere. He turns like a puzzling spiral energy around an empty center, as if the language of Pop not an appropriate response to the sung “executions” that are committed in the name of God. Yet.
Produced Tony Visconti
has again In fact, it goes to “Black Star” to the disappearance, the disappearance of the forces, possibly also to the idea Bowie shortly before his 69th birthday, that he cease to glow itself and will fall back into the blackness. Again he sought with his former flatmate sidekick and hit producer Tony Visconti for a new sound, which should “not rock music simply” be. The result is a mix of pretty Edema Space-Pop, tattered Cajun beats, carried ballads. In such he turns his gaze as already published on the 2013 comeback album “The Next Day” into his own past. Back then he hung Berlin and his “Heroes” phase after.
With the song “Lazarus” Bowie is New York an enchanting monument
Now New York’s turn, his adopted country until today , You can see him on the streets of New York at times in sweatshirt and jeans, with shoulder bag and flat cap, Mister Nobody. This city he sits with “Lazarus” now an enchanting monument, which is inspired by the sound into the 80s by the transition from synthetic brass riffs minimalistic drums. And speaking of transition: The Song continues where “Blackstar” no longer knew. Bowie remembers him as a battered holy figure, each knew him, but also meant that he had nothing more to lose, “I was living like a king.” That was not long good.
New York had freed him, he sings now, and if that is the only truly glowing hit-suitable moment of the seven songs from “Black Star”, then betrays much about Bowie creative force that is used mainly for emotional flashbacks to top form

The self consistent widescreen pop of “Lazarus” – Warning: saxophone solo – breaks down again. There is not a single song, which consists of the usual pattern of intro, verse, chorus. Major lines are often repeated as unimportant. But it lacks the melodies that inscribe individual findings in the body and would make it a part of his memory.
The dark vision of a murderous Beziehungskiste leaves Bowie rather edgy drum’n’bass and free jazz -Geflatter rise. Opposite the “Rolling Stone” transfigured his partner Tony Visconti this sound as Bowie’s magical input, as so novel that it would justify a genre and attract a lot of imitations by itself. But in this case has already ordered ten years ago Squarepusher.
On tour the soon 69-year-old probably no longer go
is It’s not probably different than that a Bowie album led to the wildest speculation. Since the Super Star 2004 disappeared after a dizzy spell and a serious operation of the stage, each renewed artistic life characters is then scrutinized, whether it is preparing its possible return to the concert arenas in the world. Visconti says that Bowie will not occur again live. If he had wanted, “The Next Day” would in any case have been the more appropriate occasion.
Because the “Black Star” turns to the singer from a great distance to his imaginary audience. The voice is brittle and old, Visconti and Bowie have missed her an artificial reverberation chamber that goes fitting that he, as “Girl Loves Me” sings, has trouble remembering details and the little things that a love only lend weight. Instead, images shreds of a restless mind: “Where the fuck did Monday go”
“Black Star” is full of negation vocabulary
Melancholic is David Bowie was also in earlier creative periods sometimes. On reasons, it never lacked, the shell changer in any case, to say goodbye to some become fond. “Black Star” is full of negation words. “It’s nothing to me,” Bowie nölt again and again. But then it says in “Dollar Days” after sad piano chords are swept away by a landslide jazzy, “I am dying to … fool them all again and again.” Yes, that is the great dream of a trickster, it the people pay back, the bully one with their expectations.
A pity only that one Bowie this superiority can no longer take off and he probably no longer trusts herself. For how otherwise than as self-sacrifice, should one “I Can not Give Everything Away” Listen, that regret set the end of his 28th studio album, the fact that existence is of little value if it does not lead to the expenditure.
E-guitar solos as forty years ago
Perhaps one makes those albums, if you no longer needed supply of new songs for a rock show. Albums, on which instruments muddle like snowflakes in a miracle ball. In which there are electric guitars solos as forty years ago. At the same time Bowie moved in a hermetic cocoon, from the not out to help him and the hip-hop beats a Kendrick Lamar that he has heard during the recording sessions

For how long is again back Bowie last really good board? For the rock magazine “Rolling Stone” it was “Heathen” (2002), but that was a rock record. You have probably continue to decline. Until “Let’s Dance” (1983) believed, when he, the white Disco Gigolo, with his music the last time Pirated a mainstream trend. That was long ago. Nevertheless, one does not stop to measure David Bowie to earlier myths and can also be seen in the most mediocre of his records still the genius of change. He is the eternal shell parable. He can perceive a things by yourself.
You probably deceiving him not be feeling that in dark times of mass murders and expulsions and pop music has no answer. After doing Bowie with “Black Star” is not so, as if he knew a.
David Bowie is shortly after he was able to complete his album “Black Star” deceased.
