Commonly regarded as one of his most significant works, Station to Station was the vehicle for his performance persona, the Thin White Duke. The album was recorded after he completed shooting Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth, and the cover artwork featured a still from the film.
The Los Angeles-based Bowie, fueled by an huge cocaine habit and subsisting on a diet of peppers and milk, spent much of 1975–76 "in a state of psychic terror". Stories—mostly from one interview, pieces of which found their way into Playboy and Rolling Stone—circulated of the singer living in a house full of ancient Egyptian artefacts, burning black candles, seeing bodies fall past his window, having his urine stolen by witches, receiving secret messages from the Rolling Stones, and living in morbid fear of fellow Aleister Crowley aficionado Jimmy Page.

All songs written by David Bowie, except where noted.
Side one
1. Station to Station - At over 10 minutes it is his longest studio recording. Opening with a train-like noise, the song's 1st half is a slow march more than 3 minutes before vocals, built around an atonal guitar riff, while the 2nd half takes the form of a prog-disco suite in a different key and tempo than the first. It contains elements of art rock and is influenced by the German electronic bands Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream.

2. Golden Years – lead single #8 in UK #10 in US, It was the first track completed during the sessions, At one stage it was slated to be the album's title track. Musically, is a funk and disco song that is more reminiscent of the music on his previous album Young Americans than the rest of this album.

3. Word on a Wing - 6:04, Bowie stated it was written out of a coke-inspired spiritual despair that he experienced while filming the movie The Man Who Fell To Earth.

Side two
1. TVC 15 - 5:31, 2nd single #33 in UK, #64 in US. Was inspired by an episode in which Iggy Pop, during a drug-fueled period at Bowie's LA home, hallucinated and believed the television set was swallowing his girlfriend..

2. Stay - 6:16.

3. Wild Is the Wind - 6:06, " Written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. Johnny Mathis recorded the song for the film and released it as a single in November 1957. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1958.
