Could we be looking at the first posthumous Mercury Prize winner?

'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore' is my new favourite today, the feel of it is so electric. The production on this album is top-notch. wub.gif

Bought Black Star yesterday and love it. The title track has really grown on me and is awesome.

Fact: the lesion usually found in the breast that suggests certains forms of cancer is called a black star lesion.

I still think the title track is one of the best things I've heard in years.

Also:


One definition of a Black Star, astrologically speaking.

A Black Star is a transitional phase that is created when a collapsing star is close to reaching singularity, where the star's influence becomes infinite and space time itself ceases to exist within it. Although the star at this point has died it has been transformed into something else altogether and its energy will continue to be released indefinitely.




There are quite number of clues and references throughout the album, much like his 70's work was littered with multiple meanings, so too is this album.

E.g. the video for Lazarus has him wearing the same outfit he wore in The Man Who Fell To Earth, a dancer performs the same routine from the Fashion video. The Narnia wardrobe reference. Bowie's most distinctive feature - his eyes - are covered with buttons, a oft used symbol for death or blindness.
The video for Blackstar features a dead astronaut.

There's literally loads to pick through

I listened to this last night again. I'm really starting to liking it a lot. The hooks are unconventional and unexpected.
