An ultimate compilation exploring the "profound roots and dazzling musicality" of David Bowie has been completed in celebration of the documentary film Moonage Daydream.
This collection delves into Bowie's transformation throughout his career, starting from the "60s Swinging London" era—his golden age—by examining the original songs he covered, artists from the 1960s who influenced him, and tracks that shaped his work. It includes references to his covers album PIN UPS and the roots of tracks from his early recordings, such as those featured on TOY.
Tracing his journey from a space-inspired folk enthusiast to a trailblazer in Swinging London, psychedelia, and glam rock, the album reflects his unparalleled artistic trajectory. The lineup features Bowie alongside icons like Marc Bolan and Pink Floyd. Through detailed commentary, the collection unveils a vivid portrait of Bowie and his influences, offering a unique glimpse into his extraordinary evolution.
