David Bowie: The Last Five Years Quote
Carlos Alomar, Himself: Oh, let me play that again. Duh-Duh-Duh-Duhhh. Oh, boy, man, I'm feelin' low. Brian Eno's methodology is a little bit different than any methodology I've ever encountered. That's not rock-n-roll. Rock-n-roll is, Hey, man, I got this great riff. Listen to this: Whaaaa! You know. But, when you start experimenting with soundscapes, which is what they were doing, it makes other things come to light. David was listening to a few German bands, back then, that were at the epicenter of electronic music and I think that the e-e-lec-tro-nic gu-par was too much. That's why he had a R&B, a black rhythm section, being: you want a machine, let me give you a funk band. But, I'll add all the electronic stuff on top of that. Otherwise, he might take the chance of sounding like European electronic music - which he did not want to reproduce.
