	Actors - Station to Station

Station to Station is an album by David Bowie originally released by RCA in 1976. The album featured a bleaker version of Bowie's soul persona, called The Thin White Duke. By the time of its recording, Bowie was heavily dependent on drugs, especially cocaine. It is rumoured that Bowie was in such a cocaine-induced haze that he actually does not remember the production of this album, and often Bowie has blamed his addiction on a lack of judgment while being introduced to the substance in America. However, Station to Station presented a new direction in Bowie's music, with a use of synthesizers and electronic rhythms that leaned toward German pop music. This direction would culminate in some of Bowie's most acclaimed work, the Berlin Trilogy, recorded and co-written with Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti.

The album cover is a promotional still from the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth
, starring Bowie.
