Formation and style
David Bowie stressed in the interviews this time that he had reached with the single Fame in 1975 and the No. 1 ranking in the U.S. charts everything he wanted. Now he finally wants to make what he would like. This statement is stylistically already on station to station to where soul and funk influences of the previous record production Young Americans, but also first acoustic evidence of his upcoming creative phase are found with electronic instruments.
The six pieces of music to on station station are consistently applied over a large area and contain long instrumental passages. The whole album uses a main feature of African-American music: it can be time and produces vibrations through repetition. The resulting resultiertende effect is that Station to Station turns not only on the ears, but to the whole body of the listener.
