Yes, Bowie can be different. Rockig he could so, but he can do it as part of a band. The songs are very catchy, danceable and it is still the distinctiveness of Bowie, which rounds the songs. It's just what else to otherwise previously accustomed Bowie, the yes but repeatedly reinvented itself. And so the trip was quite understandable in a band.
For CD itself: Great sound, well mixed and quite comparable with the digitally remastered version with today's productions.
All in all totally satisfied and as a Bowie fan anyway a must!
