Fantastic overview of the thin white duke's career chronologically arranged, so one can observe his development and various experiments over the years.



It features my all time favourite Bowie song, the dramatic, epic ballad `Wild is the wind'. I hunted high and low for an extensive Bowie collection with this song and this is the one.



Also featured are vital non album tracks like `Absolute beginners' (from the movie of the same name), `Alabama song', `Dancing in the streets', `Under pressure' (on which Vanilla Ice's career was based), and the beautiful `This is not America'.



I became a Bowie fan in 83 when I heard the Nile Rodgers produced razor sharp dance/rocker `Let's dance' and have been ever since. Other standouts are the rocky, catchy `Rebel rebel', `Golden years' (covered by UK R&B group Loose Ends), the funky 'Sound & vision', 'Heroes' (covered so many times by many artistes), `Young Americans', the gender bending `John, I'm only dancing' (hello Franz Ferdinand!!), `Starman', and `Ashes to ashes'.



To me, Bowie has always sounded different form other rockers; his vocal delivery is measured and precise, rather like a crooner's, coupled with its changes from relaxed to booming. Add to this his experimentation with various sounds and effects.



An excellent collection!!!

"Yes I hate to admit it I'm generally a hits person...so this is ideal...However for an artist as groundbreaking as Bowie...no matter what space oddity you subscribe to

Sorry couldn't help myself, You'll have to check out his other work sooner or later...



Ground control ...are you there !
