This is usually considered the worst of the Berlin period Bowie/Eno albums, not least by the participants themselves, but it actually contains some the best SONGS of the three albums. How can any album which contains "Fantastic Voyage", "Yassassin", "Red Sails", "DJ", "Look Back In Anger", "Boys Keep Swinging" and "Red Money" be considered disappointing? Admittedly, "African Night Flight" suffers from a distinct lack of anything resembling a tune while "Move On" and "Repetition" are second string Bowie (tho the latter has very interesting and brave lyrics on domestic violence. Elsewhere, Bowie's magpie tendencies are on display, "Red Sails" is a pretty blatant steal of the Neu/Harmonia motorik style (in particular Harmonia's "Monza") but redeemed by Bowie's inventive melody and singing. Likewise, "Look Back In Anger" suggests Bowie had been listening as closely to the Walker Brothers' "Nite Flights" album as Scott Walker had been listening to "Low" and "Heroes"! Overall, the album has a surprisingly lean and sparse feel with Bowie's best ever rhythm section (Carlos Alomar/ Dennis Davis/ George Murray) as reliable as ever, Adrian Belew fills in as "stunt guitarist" in the absence of Robert Fripp, and almost out-Fripps the master on "Boys Keep Swinging"! Bowie and Eno contribute here and there too, in fact, there's more of Eno in a songwriting sense on this album than on either "Low" or "Heroes", odd as it's usually considered the least Enoesque of the trilogy. The bonus track, (the oddly titled) "I Pray Ole" is good if not essential, sounds to me as if it re-uses chords from another song (a typically Enoesque ploy) but the 1988 version of "Look Back In Anger" merely demonstrates how much less interesting Bowie was in 1988 compared with 1979....
