Fantastic Voyage


by John B. Maggiore Buffalo, NY United States
Reviewed on June 21st, 2000

My first impression of "Lodger" was that it was a journeyman effort. With time, however, I have come to appreciate it much more. It remains inconsistent, and contains odd barriers, but its heart is strong.

The barriers are the first several elements encountered with the disk, starting with the unattractive cover. The cover, of course, has nothing to do with the music (neither does the name --there is no song called "Lodger"), but it sets the wrong mood. So does the first song, "Fantastic Voyage." Actually, the first several songs are mediocre. If the other albums of the "Berlin Trilogy," "Low" and "'Heroes'" have stronger first halves, "Lodger," has a much stronger second half.

The album picks up with "D.J." "D.J." is one of Bowie's most megalomaniacal hits, and is far more enduring than other frequently heard songs like "Golden Years" and "Let's Dance." "D.J." manages to meld the avant-garde with a popular dance beat and very edgy lyrics.

"D.J." gives way to one of my favorite Bowie songs, "Look Back in Anger." "Look Back" is musically upbeat but lyrically foreboding. I'm not exactly sure what the song is about, but it seems menacing. Oblique Bowie is usually Bowie at his best. The next song is "Boys Keep Swinging," which is fun and also clever. The song's cleverness is that it may not be as straightforward as it seems at first. The title suggests a return to Bowie's earlier homo-erotic toying, but the words don't necessarily convey any such meaning. Instead, the song seems to be an over-the-top joke about life as a male. The humor value would be greater still if Bowie's serious! I can't hear the song without thinking also of Bowie's groundbreaking video for it, in which he convincingly portrays his own (female) backup singers.

"Repetition" is a setback that comes across as preachy. The music is not strong and, while its theme against wife beating is noble, it is also totally unsubtle. But "Lodger" recovers with its original closing song, "Red Money." "Red Money" can best be appreciated after listening to Iggy Pop's "Sister Midnight," which uses the identical music and some of the same words. This is the first and probably best of many Bowie covers of Iggy songs. I'm not sure either what the song is about or what the point is about the different lyrics, but it works.

"Lodger" is possibly the only album re-issued by Rykodisk with "bonus tracks" that work at the end of the album. The second version of "Look Back" is not necessary, but at nearly twice the length of the original it is noticeably different. "I Pray, Ole" is a worthy addition to the album. Unlike many Bowie albums, the last song on "Lodger" is not clearly a "closer," so the extra songs fit reasonably well. But they aren't that important, so the current EMI reissue will suffice.

So, by the end of the album, the first half doesn't seem so bad. Mediocre Bowie is better than most other music, and mediocre Bowie at this stage of his career is better yet. "Lodger" doesn't make it into the top echelon, but it comes close.
