David Bowie - The Best Of Bowie
David Bowie - The Best Of Bowie
Stars: David BowieSummary: Tracks include: 'John I'm Only Dancing', 'The Jean Genie', 'Ashes To Ashes', 'Modern Love', 'Absolute Beginners' and 'China Girl'.
Containing an impressive collection of little-seen TV appearances, music videos and live concert footage, the BEST OF BOWIE is a comprehensive overview of David Bowie's career to date. We start with 3 performances from the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test ("Oh, You Pretty Things," "Queen Bitch," and "Five Years"), then move onto full performances from shows like Top of the Pops ("Starman"), Russell Harty Plus Pop ("The Jean Genie," "Space Oddity") and a rare caught-on-camera performance of "Rebel, Rebel" from a Dutch TV show called TopPop. The rest of this release concentrates on a concert from the Serious Moonlight tour of 1983, and a chronological array of music videos, starting with "Absolute Beginners" (1986) and ending with "Survive" (from 1999's HOURS album). Bowie fans can finally throw away their poor-quality bootleg copies of this material and enjoy these performances as they were meant to be seen!

Probably the most comprehensive anthology of any musical artist to date, the 47-track Best of Bowietraces the guises of David Bowie over the last four decades. From the androgynous, glam rock rebel of the 1970s, to his more recent incarnation as the self-labelled, postmodern pop ironist of the 90s. The collection provides an added insight into wider developments in fashion, music and the pop video. Most of the early material is taken from television music programmes such as The Old Grey Whistle Test("Oh! You Pretty Things", "Queen Bitch", and "Five Years"), however, as the demands of television and music promotion progress, Bowie ventures into more sophisticated stand-alone videos culminating in 1983's "Let's Dance". As with any biographical visual record of the past, there's plenty of material, which will embarrass Bowie. Throughout his cheesy performance of "Rebel, Rebel" for Dutch programme Top Pop, Bowie sports what looks like a ginger tomcat on his head. There's also the George Michael-style bleach blonde quiff for 1987's "Time Will Crawl". Despite the mountains of material on both discs, there are a number of unexplainable absences such as "Changes", "Under Pressure" and "Sound and Vision". Watch out for the Best of Bowiepart two.
On The DVD:Best of Bowie's animated menus, and the opening menu sequence of both discs are excellent. Although there are no listed bonus features, the discs are swarming with extra "Easter egg" features such as alternative videos and vintage interviews (these can be accessed via the track-listing menu, by pressing the RIGHT followed by the SELECT key on selected tracks). Background information about each video is displayed before the start of every promo, which is reproduced in the accompanying glossy booklet. The sound and picture quality is variable for early videos but improves (admittedly erratically) for later videos. --John Galilee
