4.0 out of 5 stars Good compilation of Bowie songs, November 10, 2000

This is the best of the Bowie compilations out there. It takes great bands covering a good selection of Bowie songs, unlike other compilations who only include "Let's Dance" and "Cat People". I'm impressed that "Andy Warhol", one of the best Bowie songs, was included, and Tree People do a good version. The Magnetic Fields also do an admirable version of "Heroes". All in all, the best Bowie covers are spread around in artist's solo albums, but if you're looking for a good collection of Bowie covers, this is the one to get..

3.0 out of 5 stars Crash Course Crashes, October 11, 2000

At first appearance, this seems to be just another in a long, long time of David Bowie tribute albums. And, honestly, that's just what it is. However this time around, we have a collection of northwest indie bands paying tribute to the dame. As of this writing, i've had the album for a couple years now, and while there's nothing wrong with it, i haven't listened to it in ages. There just doesn't seem to be anything exceptional here that you can't find on one of the other dozen Bowie tribute albums.

Recommended only for the hardcore Bowiefan who takes an interest in the interpretations of others on his stuff.
