		Tony Visconti answers: It was Scary Monsters, because unlike all the others, we took a 2-month break after the rhythm tracks were recorded, and getting down to the vocals and over-dubs, the reason was that David wanted to take time to carefully write the lyrics.

	David Bowie may be a hero, again - theage.com.au
		Visconti's key technique is to encourage Bowie to give in to his weirder urges (Heathen features a theremin, a stylophone and an oil drum), then rein them in with his own spectacular talent as an arranger.
		Without Visconti, Bowie was pop but lacking in adventure in the 1980s; weird but often impenetrable in the 1990s.
		Visconti says that they were in the middle of recording on September 11.

		Visconti was the man behind some of Bowie’s beloved classic albums such as “The Man Who Sold The World”, “Diamond Dogs”, “Young Americans”, the Berlin Trilogy of “Low”, “Heroes”, and “Lodger” with Brian Eno, and 1980’s “Scary Monsters”.
		The partnership of Bowie and Visconti was one of the most celebrated forces in rock n’ roll but in the early 80s as Bowie decided to pick Nile Rodgers to produce “Let’s Dance” in 1983; Bowie and Visconti had a falling out as the two moved on to other projects.
		Bowie’s reunion with Visconti was a blessing for fans since Bowie’s albums in the 1990s never came close to the classics he made in the 70s and with Visconti, fans are hoping for Bowie to bring in another classic to his glorious legacy.

		The echoey result of David Bowie and Tony Visconti alternately bending it out of shape with a drumstick was achieved not using artificial reverb, but by miking it in the large room at Hansa.
