Park Life 71 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Quite like this one... David Bowie, 1976 An obsession with the occult and Nietzsche; a fusion of US funk with the sounds of the German electronic underground – the Thin White Duke’s 1976 album has so much more going for it than its reputation for cocaine derangement. But that reputation is pretty justified. It’s in the lyrics – ‘It’s not the side-effects of the cocaine/ I’m thinking that it must be love’ runs the title track, disingenuously – it’s in the heavy, clenched-jaw rhythms, the flamboyance, the numbness, in the elegant evil of Bowie’s final persona. http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/35259-the-10-best-albums-inspired-by-drugz/ Edited October 5, 2014 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Station to Station is a good one. For live albums, you can't look beyond The Last Waltz where they had to edit out a big chunk of cocaine that was hanging from Neil Young's nostril.

Alex 35083 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sky Arts is a goldmine for progammes like that and the classic album series. Aye, it is. One of the Sky Arts channels is more high brow with opera and the like and the other one is more stuff like the doc I was on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would imagine the early Gong albums were made under the influence with titles like Flying Teapot, Radio Gnome Invisible & Pot Head Pixies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photos of Steve Hillage from back then are a bit of a giveaway too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Loved Hillages solo stuff seen him a few times in the 70s at the City Hall. He did one show where there was only downstairs seating as the show was in quadrophonic a new thing in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 298 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Probably a bit old school, but Revolver by the beatles, for me like. Great album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did one show where there was only downstairs seating as the show was in quadrophonic a new thing in the 70s. I like his solo stuff and some Gong stuff too but I really love the techno/ambient stuff (which incorporates his brilliant guitar work) that he has done with his lass in System 7. Seen them a couple of times, most recently at some festival in N. Yorks about 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
