Dig the cover art– Tonight (1984) reminds me of Gilbert and George.
Heathen (2002) has that Bahaus/Constructivist effect.
Not so keen on Reality (2003) — looks like someone decided to throw in Illustrator, spilled ink, graphite cross-hatching, daubs of gouache, watercolor, raspberry coulis, air-brushed paint with drips, etc. This one screams for coffee stains and the proverbial kitchen sink.

There just aren't that many London Callings out there. Let's Dance is a great record because it's short enough to love and doesn't overstay its welcome. Imagine Heroes or Low being doubled in length and those become boring, too. If the later Bowie records were cut down to 8-10 tracks they'd get a lot more listenable.

I've found much enjoyment from Tin Machine II onward. Anthony gets the lounge plaque this week - a very well-done job! I'm pretty generous when it comes to the latter Bowie stuff.
