Those myriad of record companies requiring immediate result and payback in these impatient days only need to look to David Bowie< b> for an example of their folly. For if David Bowie was an artist today on an one-release contract, he would ...

Pros: Bowie finds his self at a crossroads and heads down the right path
Cons: One could say that some songs sound a bit familiar to other ones
