Best of Bowie

Description

In 2002, David Bowie did not settle for releasing yet another masterful album ("Heathen") or reissuing "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars," an iconic and unifying record that has inspired at least as many vocations as the famous early recordings of the Stooges or the Velvet Underground.
Addressing his adult audience who appreciate practical summaries and the younger ones, excited by the historical songs that have made up the bulk of his repertoire during his recent stage appearances, the singer who certainly knows how to do it, publishes this ultimate compilation, covering 33 years of career: a true sum of about forty tracks. The hits ("Space Oddity," "Let's Dance," "Absolute Beginners"), the glam ("Starman," "The Jean Genie," "Rebel Rebel"), the soul ("Young Americans," "Fame"), the risky ones ("Under Pressure," "Hallo Spaceboy") and others are gathered here, for our greatest pleasure. The songs that illustrate in France the advertisements for telecommunications companies are also present ("Life On Mars?", "Heroes"), even if the true interest of the object lies, of course, in the variety of musical styles addressed (and with what mastery!) by this truly crucial artist, whose perpetual artistic challenge is the only guiding principle.
