Bowie Occasional Dreaming.The 2nd ''Lost'' 1968 Album

1968 was the year of revolution,where the unbridled happy partying of 1967 morphed into a sour & angry hangover.For ,DB 68 was when his interest in theatrical stage performance solidified,with Lindsay Kemp's Pierrot in Turquoise,solo mime performances,a minor role in a TV drama,an attempt at cabaret & a multi media trio-Turquoise/Feathers featuring an early muse Hermione Farthingale.Any 2nd album with would surely have reflected all this & not for the 1st time,& with the lack of a hit single under his belt,DB would’ve turned to songs by others,songs that fitted snuggly into his cannon,songs that he could make his own.At the same time Tony Visconti was working with The Move in 1968 adding orchestral wit to their narrative pop nuggets.It’s not beyond the realms of possibility to imagine a 2nd DB album to be Bart meets The Move-all with the wry,dystopian,yearning DB singing about unattainable love with Brechtian detachment.Take a look at the comment for detailed playlist and full story.
