Album Review
Originally released as Man of Words/Man of Music, Space Oddity was David Bowie's first successful reinvention of himself. Abandoning both the mod and Anthony Newley fascinations that marked his earlier recordings, Bowie delves into a lightly psychedelic folk-rock, exemplified by the album's soaring title track. Bowie actually attempts a variety of styles on Space Oddity, as if he were trying to find the ones that suited him best. As such, the record isn't very cohesive, but it is charming, especially in light of his later records. Nevertheless, only "Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud" and "Memory of a Free Festival" rank as Bowie classics, and even those lack the hooks or purpose of "Space Oddity."

You have to experience a MASTER by listening to all of Cygnet Committee
by LuvdmusicYes, I was a diehard Bowie fan as a teen but even as an adult, I appreciate all his music. Cygnet committee was on of my favorites then and now. I come from a very musical family and I have learned to appreciate all genres of music. From gospel to rock to country. This is a must have song for everyone!!
Psychedelic Folk
by NacrazyI read that in a previous review and I always thought of this album like that but could never find the right words. This album is great, every song is unique and very well written.
