  3. 🇬🇧 David Bowie "Heathen" – 2002

    Reuniting with Tony Visconti for the first time on a full album since Scary Monsters, Bowie recorded much of Heathen in upstate New York before the September 11 attacks.

The album marked a commercial resurgence, reaching No. 5 in the UK and No. 14 on the US Billboard 200...

The record also marked the end of an era, arriving shortly before the financial collapse of Factory Records' Hacienda nightclub began to loom...

  10. This got reissued with a yellow 7" 2 extra tracks and my original is a bit crackly so I thought why not. Just a repress of the original which I'm glad about.
    But what's funny is discovering at least one big crackle is the radio in Nasa when Apollo 8 went behind the moon as its both records.
