1.0 out of 5 stars Marketing Geniuses Blow It!, April 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Bowie (Bonus Dvd) (Audio CD)

Concur with the majority on this one - this is a compilation of edited versions of his greatest hits - I believe that they blew about a minute and a half off of the original Young Americans. Took my copy back to Tower and they were agreeable to let me exchange it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the cool new wrapper!, December 18, 2003

Ok- I love David Bowie, and usually snatch up anything new that comes out. This, however, was pretty disappointing. It's the exact same CD as Best of Bowie (the single US disc)- same track listing, same artwork, etc. The only thing new here is the lame DVD that features 9 annoying techno trance remixes. Don't get me wrong- I'm all for Bowie club mixes, but most of these are just no good.

The first 2 tracks have videos- Let's Dance just uses clips of the original video mixed with some boring artwork and an Indian woman dancing around. Heroes is just a bunch of rave kids dancing in a field. (The remix has great energy and would have been HOT, had it included any of the vocals!- but no, it's a continuous, mind-numbing loop of "we could be heroes...just for one day...we could be heroes...just for one day...we could be heroes...just for one day," etc, etc. Ugh!

The "live video" for the song "Black Tie White Noise" isn't really even live- it's pulled from the 1993 video release of the same name (which most of you die-hards will already have). It's just Bowie w/ Al B. Sure lip-synching to the album track with a band behind them. Why this was tacked on here, I have no idea.

So unless you dig listening to pounding club mixes through your TV (it as, after all, a DVD- not a CD, as it should have been), save your money and go enjoy the "Best of Bowie" that you already own- it's better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, But..., December 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Bowie (Bonus Dvd) (Audio CD)

I didn't realize the CD part of this release would be identical to the single CD release from last year. While the music is all 5 star, great Bowie stuff, it would have been nice to have some different songs on this one. As for the DVD, it wasn't really too exciting. It might just be me, but the bolly remixes don't seem to add much to the music.
