May, 1989
David Bowie's decision to form a tough, hard-rocking guitar band at the end of the 80's marked a return to form for the ever-inventive Thin White Duke who had mired himself for much of the decade in less-than-stellar mainstream pop. Find himself once again ahead of the curve, Tin Machine's dark, noisy rock predates both the grunge and alt-rock booms that would explode over the next five years.
1971
Two keyboardists -- Zawinul and the formidable Herbie Hancock -- form the underpinning of this stately, probing album, garnishing their work with the galactic sound effects of the Echoplex and ring modulator. Earl Turbinton provides the Wayne Shorter-like beams of light on the soprano sax, spelled by Wayne himself on "Double Image." The third founder of WR, Miroslav Vitous, checks in on bass, and hard-bopping trumpeter Woody Shaw proves to be perfectly adept at the jazz-rock game.
