Album Notes Personnel includes: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, stylogram, saxophone, keyboards); John Lennon (vocals, guitar); Mick Ronson, Carlos Alomar, Earl Slick, Robert Fripp, Nile Rodgers, Stevie Ray Vaughan (guitar); Lenny Pickett (clarinet, tenor saxophone); Steve Elson (flute, baritone saxophone); Stan Harrison (alto & tenor saxophone); David Sanborn (saxophone); Mike Garson (piano, keyboards); Roy Bittan (piano, drums); Rick Wakeman (piano); Brian Eno (keyboards); Herbie Flowers, Willie Weeks, Carmine Rojas (bass); Mick Woodmansey, Aynsley Dunbar, Andy Newmark, Omar Hakim (drums); Larry Washington (congas); Pablo Rosario (percussion); Robin Clark, Luther Vandross, Tony Visconti, Frank Simms, George Simms, David Spinner (background vocals).Long before Madonna started changing hairstyles between albums, David Bowie set the standard (and continues to do so) for chameleonic music styles that go beyond mere hair dye. CHANGESBOWIE is the perfect road map that allows the listener to hear the different pitstops Bowie made into the mid-'80s. Throughout the '70s, Bowie's personas included space alien ("Ziggy Stardust," "Suffragette City"), theatrical raconteur ("Rebel, Rebel"), blue-eyed soulster ("Young Americans") and Thin White Duke ("Golden Years"). After spending time in Berlin under self-imposed exile ("Heroes"), he returned to the West and within a few short years, David Bowie was back on the top of the charts thanks to a dance-rock collaboration with Nile Rodgers ("Let's Dance"). Bowie's constant need to reinvent himself is so pervasive that upon originally releasing this collection on Rykodisc, he returned to the studio and recorded an updated, '90s remix of "Fame" that sounds as if Art Of Noise were his back-up band. | |||||||||||||
Reviews  15 years of Bowie's career condensed into one hour! 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Bowies career from '69 to '84 suffered many highs and a few lows. This re-imagining of 'changesonebowie' takes the listener from the highs of Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, Ziggy and Aladdin through to the less well thought of material from Let's Dance, visiting the Blued eyed soul of Young Americans and Station to Station on the way. Unfortunately there are glaring omissions on the way. The Berlin Triptych of Low, Heroes and Lodger is only represented by the single track 'Heroes', and killer singles such as Starman from Ziggy and the unbeatable Drive in Saturday from Aladdin cannot be paint brushed out of Bowie's glittering career. Saying all that, the album still stands up well as a good introduction to Bowie, and a great reminder to people like me just how entertaining Bowie could be. Heroes really stands out as a tour de force, with the ethereal production of Brian Eno, and Let's Dance / China Girl / Modern Love have stood the test of time well; Let's Dance really wasn't a bad album at all. The only real criticism I have is the inclusion of the Fame '90 remix, but this is a small point and is obviously an inclusion that was a reflection of the time the cd was released. No doubt later reissues of this album will take into account my points and release a double (changes2bowie?) which will include a wider range of tunes from this period of his glittering career. Tin Machine anyone? Review ID: 10000000007813296 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Great ListeningReview created: 17/06/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Bowie has never been known for producing a record that was boring or fed off the sales of the previous one.They were always pushing boundaries back and bringing a total experience with them. That made this album such a shock. Yes they are all covers of well known songs made famous by others but don't be fooled into thinking that makes this album a yawn maker. He brings a new life to each track without completely destroying the previous version that you would already know. He adds a twist just like adding lemon to a G&T it adds without masking the original flavour. A really good album that should be in any collection of modern music regardless of your favourite genre.

I wasn't really into Bowie when he was in the charts, but after watching the series "Life on Mars", and listening to the eighties music once again, I realised just how brilliant he was. I play it in the car all the time. Review ID: 10000000007503190 Was this review helpful?
