DAVID BOWIE - BLACKSTAR

Spacestar
by Rya/\/ /\vellanosa

I make it a point somehow these days not to listen too much from artists from the past especially the most famous.  And because I was made to do so, it probably is the only way to appreciate music, partly.. that I should listen more about the present or to which the present has imparted us with,  The Music Presence, the presence of Music.  But what about those that which gave us the most wondrous songs, incomparable and too distinct not to notice?  And that was the records are for?  To play it over and over and over again.

I must admit that I am really not into David Bowie, though I know he's too influential not to know.  And I can only name a few of the favorite songs he wrote like...Heroes, Ziggy Stardust and Thursday's Child.  Yes, Thursday's Child was one of the songs I had to play after learning of his demise. His demise which some would deny to have happened. Truly an icon.  Bye Mr. David Beau..oh ..David Bowie.

For his first major mix album, Jacques Lu Cont assumes the role of the listener's coolest, most in-touch friend, who's always making great mix tapes chocked full of great obscure tracks and familiar classics, meanwhile bending conceptions of style and genre by placing radically different artists in the same context. As expected, Lu Cont's tastes are impeccable, and he has no trouble choosing excellent tracks that undoubtedly influenced electronica producers (however indirectly), from Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You" to the Pixies' "Monkey Gone to Heaven" to Grace Jones' "La Vie en Rose" to the Beach Boys' "In My Room" to Salsoul Orchestra's "Nice 'n' Nasty" to New Order's "5-8-6." Lu Cont also shows he's got his finger on the button of what's happened more recently, with a deft cover of "Ashes to Ashes" by Atom Heart's Lb, Felix Da Housecat's "My Life Musik" (from his Thee Maddkatt Courtship project), the electro-D.I.Y. group Ladytron's "Playgirl," and a DMX Krew remix of Cylob's "Rewind," which apes the unlikely results of Stephen Hawking jumping on the mic at his favorite club space. As far from the trance-happy mix series Global Underground as could be expected, and leagues better for listeners interested in hearing a great thematic compilation. - allmusic
