Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

All Saints collects some of David Bowie's best instrumental work from his previous albums. And his timing couldn't be better: Embarrassing drum & bass excursions, a dalliance with pantomime Goths Placebo, stock-market flotations, Tin Machine--all have meant that loving the alien has not been easy during the last 17 years or so. Which helps explain why this collection of instrumentals verges on an epiphany, offering a stark reminder of the sheer mind-boggling scope of Bowie's sound and vision. Most of these 16 brooding soundscapes are plucked from Bowie's hugely influential 1977 albums Low and Heroes. Taking his cue from Kraftwerk, Bowie enlisted Brian Eno--ex-Roxy Music boffin and ambient pioneer--and decamped to Berlin. It's no exaggeration to say that the resulting albums were integral in defining the future path of modern music. Throughout, there's a palpable sense of foreboding, perhaps best exemplified by "Sense of Doubt", a truly unsettling mesh of booming piano and spookily spiralling synths. That the Thin White Duke's Berlin material still dazzles is no surprise. However, it's the remarkable revelation--provided by a clutch of slightly more recent tracks--that he can still cut it--that'll hearten disillusioned Bowie fans everywhere. --Chris King


CD Description

This release is a selection of Bowie's instrumentals from the 1977 album 'Low' right through to 1999's '...hours'. The material included is reputed to have influenced contemporarytrance, trip hop and industrial rock artists. Each track has been digitally remastered.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mysterious Inviting Collection, 9 Jan 2003
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is Bowie's only instrumental collection and some may argue that there is a reason. However, most of these cuts are from "Low" and "Heroes" with a smattering of new material and some old from Philip Glass. Brian Eno was the main collaborator here, which sums it all up.

It was written that only 1,000 copies were made, but I find that difficult to believe if it's available here at Amazon. It is neither for the completist or occasional fan.

This collection is an oddity that needs careful listening to (best with great headphones). If you're looking for something other than subtlety, you'll not care for this. If you like Eno and layered (if not obtuse) music that's beyond avant-garde, this is a good listen for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good ol composer, 1 Nov 2001
By Paul S. Whiston "Diga" (Lunacuem) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This CD would seem rather redundant to most people with the Berlin trilogy in their collection, but it also includes tracks only available on certain (now deleted) versions of those albums! Not to mention the difficulty that may be experienced by those on the hunt for the "buddha of suburbia" soundtrack... so this collection is warranted I feel and is a chilling, hauntingly beatiful peice of art in its own right!

5.0 out of 5 stars some of Bowie's most beautiful and influential work, 24 Jul 2001
This is a long overdue collection of some of Bowie's most beautiful and influential work...and it becomes apparent that Radiohead's wonderful new direction has a lot to thank DB for...this album is inspired.
