Keith Richards, yes, I played that first thing this morning before setting out; it is a grand effort indeed. I wish he had done it as part of his lead turn on the last tour. Imagine that. Do you like this one, Krippen? They still sound vibrant as ever, a real crisp number.

When you revisit the studio catalogue of David Bowie you find yourself in turn surprised, reinvested, quite amazed and altogether at a loss for an adjective other than any under the umbrella of 'pretty fucking stellar'. Here is one from 1971 (or 1970 in the US)
Research shows it to be not quite a favourite among listeners and some prefer the later more relaxed 'Ziggy Stardust'-era recording which I find by comparison rather dull and lacking in the excitement of this version. Described as "pre-Fascist" by Bowie, the song recalls fragments of a Nitezschean dystopia with a dose of American writer HP Lovecraft all hung out amid a kind of German-Romantic wilderness of the cusp of the 19th century and beyond. I've not heard a finer example of Bowie's versatile vocals at work in a single song since first hearing this song quite a good few years ago.
He is in quick succession a youthful eager narrator, twisting his vowels, adopting the cockney twang here and there, his consonants uttered lavishly and with every inflection milked for effect; before adopting a calmer, more eerie vocal as the verses move into a creeping revelation of the games these Supermen would play, his now thin and croaky voice accentuating the doom to follow as the Super God begins to weep for the not so super men; and then the ominous wordless chant oozes forth again before Bowie launches into, I say, his most manic vocal passage ever - higher and higher his fever goes, his throat nearing breaking point (this passage is perhaps a higher-pitched cousin to the hoarse screaming which prevails on 1980's "It's No Game Part One" from the Scary Monsters album) and the process is repeated except now the Super God is dying for the demise of the Supermen.
The music chugs along with Mick Ronson on lead and rhythm guitars and Tony Visconti on the menacing bass guitar with both of them and Bowie vocalizing the ritual incantations and Mick Woodmansey powering the percussion.
The stone men in the film are those in the Chilean territory of Easter Islands.
There is a lot more to say about this track but this will do.

Do you like this one, Krippen? They still sound vibrant as ever, a real crisp number. Always been a fan of The Jesus and Mary Chain, their first two albums are all time classics. Still like 'em. Had not heard the song you posted yet, I like it, thanks.
