Ah, those songs take me back. I saw them live in a 'rock against racism' gig, sharing the headline with The Stranglers. It didn't work, The lead singer had a pint glass hurled at him which was a direct hit to the head. Always liked their Handsworth Revolution long player..
Being from Brum saw them a fair few times.I prefer Caught You! to the much vaunted Handsworth Revolution myself.
Classic Bowie. Not a note is out of place. We Are the Dead is my highlight, in an album chock full of hooks.
Had my ipod controls set on random today and Star Man came on. The Rise And fall filled the air for the next beautiful forty minutes or so.
A DJ in one of the bars in town has got a dance version of this and it is brilliant. Is a real cheery song hence the title of it being called happy.
