- Here is a quick look at some of the first media response to the Bowie releases. ‘hours…’
ROLLING STONE
‘Bowie’s Golden Hours David Bowie digs into his past for ‘hours…’ his strongest album in years.’ (NOTE:- ‘strongest album in years’ has become the standard description for nearly every album Bowie has put out in the 90’s)
MAIL ON SUNDAY (UK)
‘..is the record as interesting as it’s means of delivery? The answer is an emphatic yes…Album opener ‘Thursday’s Child’ …is gorgeous..this is one of the best vocal performances of his career.’
SUNDAY TIMES (UK)
(from a profile) “I like his new album, ‘hours…’ the best track, ‘Something In The Air’ is classic Bowie, as mysteriously sad as white faced mime, as sour as bitter lemons, as unpredictable as a mystery tour at midnight.” Thursday’s Child
GUARDIAN (UK)
Thursday’s Child ‘..Dave has reached his 50’s with a full head of hair, a supermodel wife, millions of pounds and he’s not lost his looks though he smokes like a chimney, so any criticism of him is automatically invalid.’ (Strange! This was the main thrust of the review)
SUNDAY MIRROR (UK)
Singles Of The Week Thursday’s Child ‘He’s back in Major Tom mode on the first track from the new album.’
