AVAILABLE COMMERCIALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY FOR STREAMING AND DOWNLOAD ON PARLOPHONE
2019 sees the 30th anniversary of the debut album by Tin Machine, a band fronted by David Bowie featuring Reeves Gabrels on guitar, Tony Sales on bass, and Hunt Sales on drums.
To promote the album the band, along with acclaimed director Julien Temple, filmed nine riotous performances of songs from the record at the downtown New York City rock club The Ritz, which have remained unreleased commercially until now. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the record, the nine song medley is available as a digital download today.
Tin Machine the album heralded a back to basics approach for Bowie with a hard sound with simple production. The New York Times commented at the time, "Bowie's lyrics are bald, sincere statements, sometimes proud to be vulgar, rock songs don't get much blunter." Rolling Stone reviewed the record as, "indignant and acidic, an all-too-welcome feast of aggro-guitar flamboyance and bass-drum body checking." Spin said, "The record was aggressive, direct, brutal and incendiary fun."
30 years on Tin Machine still packs an almighty punch.
