- This months Rolling Stone (Sept. 30th, 1999) has an article on Bowie and the upcoming album.
Entitled Bowie’s Golden Hours: David Bowie digs into his past for Hours…,his strongest album in years.
The article talks about Bowie ‘casting an eye toward the past’ with his pre Ziggy Stardust period serving as the foundation for the Hours album.
Here is an excerpt:
“I found all these sites that contained sound files of my old material. Some of them were good, others were embarrassing. Before last year, I never listened to my own material.
But I really wanted to make sense of the stuff I’d written and its repercussions on what I’d write now. I didn’t want it to be a nostalgic type of sound, but I still have enough elements to throw you back.”
