10 OUT OF 10 FOR BAAL IN UNCUT "Ziggy played...banjo..." We told you about the release of Dissent & Disruption: The Complete Alan
Clarke at the BBC, earlier in the year. Contained within the set is the BBC
adaptation of Baal starring David Bowie, which was first broadcast in 1982.

Damien Love has posted his ten out of ten review of BAAL over on UNCUT and
here follows an excerpt from it. + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + "When Clarke first conceived of filming the play, in collaboration with
Brecht scholar John Willet, he considered Steven Berkoff for the role. It
was Willett who suggested Bowie, who, when the programme was recorded in
summer 1981, had not long completed his run as The Elephant Man on the
American stage. He brings lessons learned there, as well with Lindsay Kemp
and, of course, stalking stages as Ziggy and The Duke (plus, it should be
said, the beautiful annunciation he brought to his Peter And The Wolf
narration). He clearly responded to the project. To mark its broadcast, Bowie decided to
cut a 7-inch EP of the five Brecht songs he performs in the drama, acting as
his own Greek chorus. In the TV version, he accompanies himself with bare
plucks at the banjo he perpetually clutches. For the Baal EP, however, Bowie
returned to Germany's Hansa studio with Tony Visconti and 15 Berlin players,
the last time he would record beside the Wall. The record has become a
semi-obscure curio, but two songs, "The Drowned Girl" and "Remembering Marie
A", rank among Bowie's most affecting 1980s recordings." + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +
