IT STILL RESONATES WITHIN ME, FORTY-FIVE YEARS AFTER ITS ORIGINAL RELEASE.” – CARSTEN NICOLAI IN 1977 I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD AND AMONG THE “SUBTERRANEANS” THE SONG EVOKED. ACCORDING TO BOWIE, “SUBTERRANEANS” REFERS TO THE PEOPLE WHO REMAINED IN EAST BERLIN AND LIVED IN EAST GERMANY AFTER THE WALL WAS BUILT.

IT WAS PARTLY RECORDED IN WEST BERLIN AT THE HANSA STUDIO. THE COMPOSITION WAS INITIALLY INTENDED FOR THE SOUNDTRACK TO THE 1976 SCIENCE FICTION DRAMA FILM THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH. RECORDED IN 1975, SUBTERRANEANS IS THE CLOSING SONG OF DAVID BOWIE’S 1977 ALBUM LOW. GORE AND WILLIAN BASINSKI’S COVER OF DAVID BOWIE’S HOMONYMOUS SONG.

I am at a time in my life, as indeed I have been on several previous occasions, where I am needing to review what my collection holds for me, and how much I can still not live without.Īnd so the tortuous process of winnowing begins once again, as I sift through every album, attempting to quantify what each one means to me, if anything at all, and interestingly I'm finding there are albums that have remained steadfast and robustly survived numerous previous culls. and I wonder how the world of music got so damned immense whilst I have been so inwardly focused on my obsession with keeping and acquiring vinyl, (to have and to hold for ever amen). I'm feeling as though I belong to a different world, as I sit and listen to some of the numerous bandcamp suggestions made by fellow enthusiasts on here.
