David Bowie - Diamond Dogs flac album

Diamond Dogs is the eighth studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released on 24 May 1974 by RCA Records. Thematically, it was a marriage of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Bowie's own glam-tinged vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Bowie had wanted to make a theatrical production of Orwell's book and began writing material after completing sessions for his 1973 album Pin Ups, but the author's estate denied the rights.

Bowie, since he was a teenager, was fascinated about the malformations that appeared on Strange People novel. So he put some references to malformed people in the album. David himself decided to be the one who would play all the instruments, except drums (Aynsley Dunbar), bass (Herbie Flowers) and keyboards (Mike Garson). This is what he said in an interview with NYRock: That was the first time that I played all the instruments myself on an album. I had just broken up the Spiders and didn’t really want to entrust my music to another set of musicians at the time

This ain't rock 'n' roll! This is genocide! As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was Tod Browning's Freak you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see The Diamond Dogs. Bowie uses the cut up technique, an aleatory literary technique in which a text is cut up and rearranged to create a new text, a process popularized in the late 1950s and early 1960s by writer William S. Burroughs. The song is frequently referred to in popular culture. The cabaret in Baz Luhrmann’s film Moulin Rouge! are known as Diamond Dogs, as is a gang in Metal Gear Solid V. This song was originally going to open MGSV, but Midge Ure’s cover of The Man Who Sold The World was used instead.

David Bowie fired the Spiders from Mars shortly after the release of Pin Ups, but he didn't completely leave the Ziggy Stardust persona behind. Diamond Dogs suffers precisely because of this - he doesn't know how to move forward. Originally conceived as a concept album based on George Orwell's 1984, Diamond Dogs evolved into another one of Bowie's paranoid future nightmares. Throughout the album, there are hints that he's tired of the Ziggy formula, particularly in the disco underpinning of "Candidate" and his cut-and-paste lyrics

Eventually, David Bowie Diamond Dogs became his own glam-trash expression of such a world, and the songs he had already written for his musical wound up on the latter half of this album, in which the 1984 theme is most prominent. The album opened with David Bowie howling in his distinctive voice like a wild dog, in keeping with the striking, grotesque and controversial cover art of him stylized as a lean dog with fully visible genitalia
