Watching the lost and rediscovered Toy album is as exciting as listening to it. David Bowie planned to release it in 2001, but the publishing companies imagined re-enacted songs from the days when Davey Jones had just become David Bowie.
The record went to the ice, it later appeared in Pirtsk form on the Internet and is now now officially available to me. On the one hand, as a part of the Brilliant Adventure box (19922001), on the other hand, for collectors, in addition, in a hard version with alternative mixes and acoustic versions of the songs. So it is usually a material that forged experts have heard in some form, but only now do they have it available in the form that David Bowie fulfilled.
The darkness of the album is a return to the past, to the traditional form of rock songs, playing with a full-blooded band. That’s what Bowie wanted after the experimental, suffocating 1. Desside and Earthling desks. It would make sense, while the main 1. Outside is gloomy and paranoid, on Toy as if Bowie and the public in the walls were breathing into the sunshine.
It is clear in the water I Dig Everything. Krishna, the clean and full-playing band, the colorful choir vocals and the relaxed singer David Bowie.
The bone of the millennium does not end, it went down with the verses and catchy refrains. In this case, the toy is not a play, but a green arrest, and in the theatrical chant of the candidates, it is a reminder of what David Bowie used to be.
The songwriter, who slowly looked around the music scene, sometimes took inspiration not only here, but not here, and sought his place on the stage. Knowing that the most will still appeal to strange and lost people. The institution never became one of them, not even in the 1980s, when he lost his temper and invited everyone to the dance floor in an eye-catching colorful jacket.
Natst then found a firm foothold again, and Toy released an album for pleasure, which made sense both in itself and in the context of Bowie’s discography. Then as today, by 2001, it would be relevant twenty years later. And it is nonsense to tell him that it is not about borders and pushing the boundaries.
David Bowie did not hide such an album. He doesn’t want to speculate on what and how in this case it pays to focus on the songs, you know how colorful they are in the new forms. Tops?
Ndhern is a ballad of Shadow Man, dating from when Bowie worked on a pelom according to Ziggy Stardust. Indeed, there is something of the then outcast from Mars, who accidentally found himself behind Earth.
Krsn flows Let Me Sleep Beside You and Pervert Toy (Your Turn To Drive), written just for this album, is a contemplative, varied singing farewell. In the floating contours, we see David Bowie slowly retiring and retiring from the studio with a deluded murder. He is accompanied by a slowly ceasing music, which sounds as if he is happy with what is coming and will definitely shut up.
