as long as it's more "station to station" than "black tie white noise" - bowie's been able to get pretty funky now and then, but sometimes, especially around the early '90s or thereabouts, he had a frightening habit of venturing into the realm of lite jazz. i thought there were a lot of moments on "black tie" where he sounded a bit bored...i'd love to hear another bowie soul album where visconti lights a fire under his butt.
