I first heard Jackson on Nico's Chelsea Girls album (and his participation / affair is a story in itself), then bought the Saturate album when it came out. Haven't listened to it in years (except for the "big" hits), so the Adam track was a powerful callback to the past. I didn't keep up with him (my loss), so "I Thought I Was a Child" is simultaneously redolent and revelatory.

P.S. my favorite track from the Nico years is "Fairest of the Seasons," with the devastating lyrics "Yes, and the morning has me looking in your eyes / and seeing mine / warning me to read the signs / more carefully."
