When I first heard 1st July 2006 it stopped me in my tracks – the combination of the non-standard time signature, Bertie’s spoken word segments which sometimes get overwhelmed by the rise and fall of the rich backing, alongside Bowie’s emotional vocals was a heady mix. It still moves me now – to cram so much into just four minutes is no mean feat.
