Tin Machine’s first album is 25 today

 

“Listen”

 

The first Tin Machine album was released on this day in 1989.

It’s an album that has long been underrated in our opinion, often by folk who have not really given it a fair listen.

Indeed the album came 26th in our poll of 27 David Bowie albums last year. (The second Tin Machine album came last)

If Tin Machine is a release you’ve avoided to date, give it a try on Spotify now, you may be pleasantly surprised.

A quarter of a century later, it mainly still kicks bottom somewhat.
