Didn't, though, did I? He'd left Roxy Music, worked with Bowie, went on to
do even more ambient stuff on his own ("Music for Airports" being one of
his best-known LPs), and Bowie went on to do chart toppers again ("Dancing
In the Streets", "Blue Jean", "China Girl"...) - stuff good enough to be
great "hits", as hits go, but not good Bowie.

Right on. After all that lame stuff, listening to the stuff he recorded for
British TV series "Buddha of Suburbia" (after Akif Kureishi) was really
comforting.
