"💿 Japan 💿 Siouxsie and the Banshees 💿 The Cure 💿 Cocteau Twins 💿 This Mortal Coil 💿 Dead Can Dance 💿 Depeche Mode" Great list, particularly Japan & Depeche, was heavily into Bauhaus & Soft Cell at this time too. Still at school and most kids were into Madness & Bad manners type shit! | |||

Saw Tin Machine in 1989 Newport Leisure Centre, south Wales, about 2k crowd, they were excellent. The band were very highly regarded musicians, I believe they were top session musicians in the main. Tin Machine were pretty much panned but the first album was great. Under The God a highlight. | |||

Got to see Roxy Music at the O2 in October 2022 at their 50th anniversary show, a long held ambition. It was great but would have loved to see them in their prime too. Seen everybody I wanted to see really except for T.Rex, Pistols, Fleetwood Mac & Elvis, all possible in theory at least. | |||

Tin Machine were pretty much panned but the first album was great. Under The God a highlight." Not sure about the session muso thing. Hunt and Tony Sales were with Iggy for a long time, no doubt where Bowie knew them from. No idea about Reeves, but I always got the impression Bowie wanted a proper rock band with Tin Machine, a gang of lads and not to be the star with hired hands. | |||

So the question was had he completely lost the plot? Scary Monsters in 1980 was probably the last of his decade long extraordinary output and the next 3 80’s albums pale in comparison but I actually love Let’s Dance. The title track still sounds fresh, especially the extended mix with one of the best ever guitar performances by SRV. Tonight is bad but even that contained the brilliant Loving The Alien and NLMD seems to be better now than I remember in 1987. | |||

" Yes, well you would be much better informed than me as I always enjoy & admire your music critiques. I was aware of the Sales brothers with Iggy as I love Iggy. Probably not the best description as session musicians but they, and Gabrels, were better known via association. Bowie just wanted to strip back and rock and Tin Machine were great, really invigorated him. | |||

"Yes, well you would be much better informed than me as I always enjoy & admire your music critiques." Thanks, that's appreciated. "I was aware of the Sales brothers with Iggy as I love Iggy. Probably not the best description as session musicians but they, and Gabrels, were better known via association. Bowie just wanted to strip back and rock and Tin Machine were great, really invigorated him." The two Iggy albums, The Idiot and Lust For Life are iconic. Iggy was never better (not even with The Stooges). He and Bowie were a team beyond greatness just in those moments. It's garage rock grown up and sobered up just enough but still with an edge. | |||

"The title track still sounds fresh, especially the extended mix with one of the best ever guitar performances by SRV." Yeah, it's a shame in a way that Stevie confined himself to just blues after getting his break with Bowie. Great great player for sure but a few too many 12-bars to keep me interested for long. | |||
