Lou Reed – Transformer (1972/2015) FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz Time – 37:06 minutes 774 MB Genre: Rock Studio Master, Official Digital Download Source: HDTracks Artwork: Front cover © RCA Records Recorded: August 1972 at Trident Studios, London Released in 1972, Transformer is Lou Reed’s second studio album. It was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson and was ranked number 194 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. David Bowie has never been shy about acknowledging his influences, and since the boho decadence and sexual ambiguity of the Velvet Underground’s music had a major impact on Bowie’s work, it was only fitting that as Ziggy Stardust mania was reaching its peak, Bowie would offer Lou Reed some much needed help with his career, which was stuck in neutral after his first solo album came and went. Musically, Reed’s work didn’t have too much in common with the sonic bombast of the glam scene, but at least it was a place where his eccentricities could find a comfortable home, and on Transformer Bowie and his right-hand man, Mick Ronson, crafted a new sound for Reed that was better fitting (and more commercially astute) than the ambivalent tone of his first solo album. Ronson adds some guitar raunch to “Vicious” and “Hangin’ Round” that’s a lot flashier than what Reed cranked out with the Velvets, but still honors Lou’s strengths in guitar-driven hard rock, while the imaginative arrangements Ronson cooked up for “Perfect Day,” “Walk on the Wild Side,” and “Goodnight Ladies” blend pop polish with musical thinking just as distinctive as Reed’s lyrical conceits.
