It was considered a comeback for him in the US market; it was his highest charting album (#14) since ''Tonight'' (1984), and earned some of his strongest reviews since ''Let's Dance'' (1983). Worldwide, it sold over two million copies and experienced a four-month run on the UK charts. Although its production had started before September 11 attacks in 2001, the album was finished after that date, which resulted in the influencing of its concept.〔 ==Recording and production== ''Heathen'' marked the return of record producer Tony Visconti,〔 who co-produced (with David Bowie himself) several of Bowie's classic albums. The last album Visconti had co-produced was ''Scary Monsters'' in 1980. Originally, Bowie had recorded the album ''Toy'' for release in 2000 or '01. This album was meant to feature some new songs and remakes of some his lesser-known songs from the 1960s. Although ''Toy'' remains officially unreleased, a few of its tracks—including "Afraid" and "Slip Away" (then titled "Uncle Floyd")—appear on ''Heathen''. Some other re-recorded songs were included as B-sides to the singles from ''Heathen''. The album features guest appearances from The Who guitarist Pete Townshend (who had played guitar on an earlier Bowie track, "Because You're Young" from ''Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)''), Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess, pianist Kristeen Young, and prolific bassist Tony Levin of King Crimson. The song "I Took a Trip on a Gemini Spacecraft" contains the lowest note Bowie has ever sung on an album (G1). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heathen (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
