CD David Bowie – Earthling

David Bowie’s 1997 industrial-inflected masterpiece, Earthling, returns in a meticulously remastered 2022 reissue via ISO/Parlophone Records. Originally released following his experimental collaboration with Brian Eno on Outside, this album captures Bowie at his most intensely energetic, fearlessly embracing the "drum and bass" and electronic movements of the late '90s.

Lyrically complex and sonically aggressive, Earthling explores themes of spirituality and alienation. The album is renowned for its spontaneous production style, with most tracks recorded in a single take. This reissue allows listeners to rediscover the high-velocity creativity of a legend who refused to stay stagnant, successfully blending his art-rock sensibilities with cutting-edge jungle and techno influences.

Key Highlights & Tracks:

• "Little Wonder": The album’s standout single, featuring playful self-references and Disney-inspired wordplay.
• "I’m Afraid of Americans": A powerful exploration of cultural dominance (later a major hit via its Nine Inch Nails remix).
• "Seven Years in Tibet": A track that saw massive international success, including topping the charts in Hong Kong.
• 2022 Remaster: Sourced from the acclaimed Brilliant Adventure (1992–2001) era recordings.

Add this essential piece of Bowie’s experimental 90s discography to your collection—a testament to the artist's enduring ability to innovate and ignore the critics.
