...fuelled recording session the album Station to Station, which had the original title "The return of the Thin White Duke" and was originally released on the 23rd of January 1976, the album lasts only 38 minutes and 10 seconds and only has 6 tracks.
This album effectively divides the 70's off for Bowie as it ties up the era of Ziggy Stardust and plastic soul and introduces the first taste of the new music that was to follow and it also uses for the ...

Advantages: Daring, intriguing and soothing. Disadvantages: Overlong, repetitive and confused.
...back-up guitar in that order.
1. Station to Station
2. Golden Years
3. Word on a Wing
4. TVC 15
5. Stay
6. Wild is the Wind
Partly because of its eccentric oddness, I have long considered this among my favourite Bowie albums, though it tends to fall quite far down the list once I start thinking about it. There are only six songs, one of which is a cover song and almost all of which are far longer than necessary, but fortunately Bowie's ...

‘Station to Station’ is quite different from Bowie’s previous work. The exuberance of the glam era had given way to a new colder, mechanistic sound. Gone were the black American influences ...

After the death of Ziggy and the last rites of Bowie’s sojourn to the States vomiting up the Philadelphia Sound, 1976 saw him rediscovering Europe and the fascistic image of The Thin White Duke, as an eerie precursor for what became known as his Berlin song cycle, spawning Low, Heroes and Lodger over the following three years. For all that the sound and the image was relentlessly European, Bowie had built an All American collection of musicians around ...

Advantages: Every single track Disadvantages: none
By 1975 Bowie, now residing in Los Angeles, was living what you could politely call the "high" life, his stormy relationship with Angie in full flood, held together with assorted hangers-on and that favourite substance of 70's rock stars, cocaine. He was by now an out and out superstar and most of this album reflected that lifestyle...aahh, sex, drugs and rock and roll!!!
The Man's new persona was now The Thin White Duke, all slicked back barnet, ...

Advantages: Excellent Disadvantages: Only Six Tracks
This is a great album even though it only contains six tracks. This album is based around Bowies Thin White Duke persona. The title track is excellent displaying great guitar solos and sound effects although the lyrics are difficult to comprehend. Golden years is a fantastic single displaying Bowies vocal prowess, this song starts out with a blues beat but soars into a great uplifting song. TVC15 sound like something Spandau Ballet could have written ...

Excellent Review ofStation To Station [Remastered] - David Bowieby
jamiegiles
Advantages: Disadvantages:
...to an elegant, robotic extreme, Station to Station is a transitional album that creates its own distinctive style. Abandoning any pretense of being a soulman, yet keeping rhythmic elements of soul, Bowie positions himself as a cold, clinical crooner and explores a variety of styles. Everything from epic ballads and disco to synthesized avant-pop is present on Station to Station, but what ties it together is Bowie's cocaine-induced paranoia and detached ...
