Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Station To Station was the fulcrum in Bowie's shift from the be-quiffed, plastic soul of Young Americans to the Krautrock/electronica of Low.
That manoeuvre is prefigured in the lengthy, multi-part title-track, which opens croonfully heralding "the return of the thin white duke", but closes with the crunching machine-beat motorik celebrating "the European Man is here". The rest of the album balances neatly between flamboyant balladry, slippery funk and, in "TVC15", a love letter to the singer's new video equipment (then exotically cutting-edge). Milestone it may be, but this five-CD set does overplay things, with discs of analogue and digital masters, an EP of singles mixes, and an (admittedly hot) contemporary live show.
