Ziggy and his Spider Friends
Review of Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars, The [Remastered] [SACD] - David Bowie by
Adz1978
Advantages: Truly inspirational, awe inspiring production of music
Disadvantages: none
...As a long standing Bowie fan, i recently purchased this album to replace the origianl that somehow went astray - its bizarre how you mange to loose so many CD's - or is it just me?!?!
When the album Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars was first introduced, it presented to the world a unique pre-packaged personality. For me it also defined the glitter rock movement of the early seventies (would love to be able to go back and experience that first hand).

The inevitable comparisons with his father would only hamper this album, as it is his very own masterpiece. The actual musicality of this album is unquestionable, with every song conveying a strong reggae beat and typical Ziggy lyrics, singing about nature, love and religion among many things. This, if it can be counted, is the only similarity to his father's work; the subject of the songs. The angle at which he comes from is similar but original in the way he sings. At the end of the day, this album is a must own for any fan of reggae, old or new.
The lyrics are thoughtful throughout, from the opening track "Dragonfly", where nature asks Ziggy the question "what type of creature is man?" and why is he doing what he's doing, to the extremely...
