S5 Ep12: Tim Palmer on Tin Machine (Part Two)

Part Two of my conversation with Tin Machine co-producer and amanuensis Tim Palmer takes in the aftermath of the 1989 debut LP and the fractured coming together of elements to make up the arguably stronger second album - a smorgasbord of some classic Bowie songwriting, noise, avant garde guitars, sex toys and good time rock'n'roll. In this episode Tim reflects on those sessions that took place simultaneously with David's round-the-world Sound + Vision tour (in which he set out to lay his back catalogue to rest) as well as the frequently astonishing level of innovation, invention and energy that went into Tin Machine 2. Thanks to Tim for his time and generosity in recalling those days for us and you can find out more about his activities here >>> Thanks also to Leah Kardos for her presence on this talk and her questions for Tim - and of course her beautiful original music, used in the intro and outro. More on Leah's numerous projects and passions here >>>
