4.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE PURCHASE, June 14, 2007

I humbly disagree completely with the reviewer below.

The "live track" that he doesn't name is an 8:20 live version of "Pallas Athena" (AKA the "Tao Jones Index" on the Japan '07 mini-sleeve edition).

Anyone who enjoyed the original "Pallas Athena" from the "Black Tie White Noise" album, or the subsequent remixes of that track, will certainly dig this version.

It is a compelling listen, with a hypnotic, pounding rhythm track, and is worth the price of this disc by itself.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bowie's "Seven Years in Tibet" single is a bit to normal., August 30, 1998

This review is from: Seven Years in Tibet (Audio CD)

When you go out and buy a single, it usually just has the original version, and maybe a few remixes that sound very similar to the original. With some of his more recent singles, David has had great remixes that add more depth to the original version of the song. This isn't true in the case of "Seven Years in Tibet". It contains three versions, the original, the mandarin version, and a 8 minute long, live track that gets kinda boring. The song is great, but the this single just doesn't do it.
