Since "Graceland" Paul Simon's made a career out of just such a strategy. If you've heard the "Graceland" demos, you can hear how they really are your basic Simon folkie pop songs, but he gussied them up with African trappings, as opposed to having songs come organically out of the African rhythms, the way Eno & the Heads did in their "Bush of Ghosts"/"Remain in Light" period. Simon then did the same thing with Brazilian music, electronica, etc. Yet for some reason he gets acclaim for the very thing that Bowie was criticized for (no acclaim from ME, mind you!)Quote
it felt like Bowie was just adding drum & bass trappings to standard Bowie songs.
