10 Forgotten David Bowie Gems

7. Scream Like A Baby (1980)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQgzIVLqjQI Scary Monsters is the album that gave the world Ashes to Ashes and Fashion. But as skewed, quirky and strange as those singles were, much of the rest of the album is just weird €“ at times even uncomfortably creepy. The title track is disquieting enough, but Scream Like A Baby €“ with its sludgy guitars, deranged and distorted voices, electronic squelching and pummelling drums €“ is a fine example of uneasy listening, a perfect accompaniment to a disturbed mind. Hear the haunted forest synths that underpin the nightmarish chorus and look forward to a disturbed night's sleep filled with visions of zombie infants brandishing improvised knives.
