David Bowie, Black Star. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 5/10

It is perhaps a peculiarity of life that you can miss someone for years, you can wonder why they stopped producing some of the most intricate and interesting sounds, the most devilish of lyrics and the most enjoyable ways to spend an evening infront of a log fire and yet after many years away they come back into your life and you have to admit that you might wonder what you saw or heard of them in the first place.
