Station to Station takes the detached plastic soul of Young Americans to an elegant, robotic extreme.
Abandoning any pretence of being a soul-man, yet keeping rhythmic elements of soul, David Bowie positions himself as a cold, clinical crooner and explores a variety of styles.
Everything from epic ballads and disco to synthesized avant pop is present on Station to Station, but what ties it together is Bowie's cocaine-induced paranoia and detached musical persona.
At its heart, Station to Station is an avant-garde art-rock album, most explicitly on "TVC 15" and the epic sprawl of the title track, but also on the cool crooning of "Wild Is the Wind" and "Word on a Wing," as well as the disco stylings of "Golden Years."
It's not an easy album to warm to, but its epic structure and clinical sound were an impressive, individualistic achievement, as well as a style that would prove enormously influential on post-punk

Wild Is The Wind
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright and fresh labels with little signs of use
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Some light marks are evident but these are mostly superficial and have little audio consequence
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Outstanding sound performance - crystal clear, deep, rich and finely detailed and my play-check at volume found little to fault - just the odd one-off tick/touch of surface between tracks - nothing major - sounds great
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+
Fine example - some light marks to the white but solid edges and spine where all text is clear and bold
INSERT: EXCELLENT
A couple of foxing spots but otherwise like new
