"Hours..."

David Bowie

Virgin Records, 1999

REVIEW BY: Christopher Thelen

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 10/11/1999

If I had to use a word to describe my past experiences with David Bowie's music, it would be "unapproachable". Sure, the man has had some great songs over the years, but every time I've tried to listen to one of his albums, I've always found myself feeling like an outsider who's just being shown a small glimpse of the big picture. Maybe that's why I've not found myself willing to take chances with Bowie's recent releases -after my not-so-pleasant first experience with Black Tie White Noise, I all but gave up on his recent output.

Then, I decided to take a chance on 'hours...', Bowie's latest release - and, no, I didn't base this review off the Webcasts of the album, I actually got a copy to review. Much to my surprise and delight, Bowie seems to have shed the "hipper-than-thou" attitude which torpedoed a lot of his recent work, and has created one of the most approachable albums of his career - one, in fact, that might get him noticed on the radio again.

It didn't start out quite that promising. "Thursday's Child" had a decent enough rhythm section, but Bowie's vocals seemed to have taken a dip south, almost becoming slightly out of tune at times. (Having freely admitted I've not listened to most of Bowie's 1990s work, I don't know if this is a new development or not.) But his heart seems to be in the right place musically, and things end on a more positive note.

For much of 'hours...', Bowie spends the time with guitarist/collaborator Reeves Gabriels creating music that harkens back to his glory days. Tracks like "Survive," "New Angels Of Promise," "Seven" and "The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell" (I don't think this refers to the band of the same name) all are moments of pure brilliance, showing that Bowie has hardly lost his pop sensibilities.
