}} ''The Next Day'' is the twenty-fourth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 8 March 2013 on his ISO Records, under exclusive licence to Columbia Records. The album was announced on Bowie's sixty-sixth birthday, 8 January 2013. Bowie's website was updated with the video for the lead single, "Where Are We Now?", and the single was immediately made available for purchase on the iTunes Store. It is Bowie's first album of new material in ten years, since 2003's ''Reality'', and surprised fans and media who believed he had retired. The album was streamed in its entirety on iTunes days before its official release. ''The Next Day Extra'', an additional disc featuring four more tracks, and remixes of songs from the original album, was released in November.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Next Day extra due november )〕 ''The Next Day'' was met with critical acclaim, and earned Bowie his first number-one album in the UK since 1993's ''Black Tie White Noise''. It was ranked as the second best album of 2013 (in a tie with Blue October's ''Sway'') by German music magazine Kulturnews and was also nominated for the 2013 Mercury Prize. The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards and for MasterCard British Album of the Year at the 2014 BRIT Awards. ==Recording== Bowie and producer Tony Visconti worked in secret alongside long-term engineer Mario J. McNulty, recording the album over a two-year period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/david-bowie-worked-in-secret-on-comeback-lp-for-two-years-20130109?link=mostpopular5 )〕 The recording sessions were sporadic, and Visconti estimated that only three full months were spent demoing and recording material. Visconti recalled that the album began with a one-week recording session: Bowie would disappear with the music "to make sure he was on the right track", then bring the band back together to take the next step in recording when he was ready. Visconti described the recording sessions as "intense", but they stuck to regular hours. "The last time we did all-nighters was ''Young Americans''".〔 During breaks from the studio, Visconti would walk the streets of New York listening to music from ''The Next Day'' on his earphones:〔 "I was walking around New York with my headphones on, looking at all the people with Bowie T-shirts on—they are ubiquitous here—thinking, 'Boy, if you only knew what I'm listening to at the moment.'"〔 Despite the statement that no guest artists were used to record the album, Bowie did use some of the musicians he's worked with in the past, including Earl Slick, who recorded his parts for the album in July 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nme.com/news/david-bowie/68115 )〕 Gail Ann Dorsey (bass guitar) and Sterling Campbell (drums), who have both worked with Bowie since the 90s, also contributed to the album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/earl-slick-david-bowie-new-album-interview/ )〕 Dorsey also recorded vocals for the song "If You Can See Me". Drummer Zachary Alford and guitarists Gerry Leonard and David Torn were hired for the sessions and Slick revealed that Visconti also contributed bass.〔 Visconti also indicated that saxophonist Steve Elson, who has worked with Bowie since the 1980s, also plays on the album. A story that Robert Fripp, who previously has worked with Bowie in the studio, was invited to play on the album but could not due to other commitments was denied by Fripp, who said, "I haven't spoken to David for a while and I wasn't approached (take part in the album )", adding "I'm not angry at all. No one is hurt, I'm not upset, just keen for clarity." 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「The Next Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
