After the hard rock The Man Who Sold The World Mick Ronson's guitar is turned down in favour of plenty of piano and acoustic guitar as Bowie proves his mettle as a masterful singer-songwriter. Not a dull note is struck on the whole album which flits from opener Changes to the vampy Oh! You Pretty Thing to the heart-wrenching Life On Mars with a seemingly impeccable ear for a tune. Flirty sexy and irresistibly seductive. --Amber Cowan
