David Bowie is wel cool. Jammer dat ik hem echter met heroinegebruik associeer.

David Bowie's unreleased album Toy leaks online

Toy, the 2002 album never released by Virgin and now leaked online, has given Bowie fans first new music in almost a decade.

A decade after it was shelved by his label, David Bowie's 23rd studio album has been leaked on the internet. Toy, conceived as a reimagining of Bowie's early work, appeared on file-sharing websites this week, with Bowie's reps refusing to comment.

Toy was originally scheduled to be released in 2002. Together with long-time producer Tony Visconti and Bowie's touring band from 1999's Hours ..., the singer had laid down sessions at New York's Sear Sound studios, recording new versions of some of his earliest works. These included 1968's In The Heat of the Morning – with the strings taken out – and 1971 demo Shadow Man – with strings put in. Bowie also recorded a new version of his very first single, 1964's Liza Jane, first released under the name Davie Jones and the King Bees.

But Virgin Records did not release Toy. There were reports of rights issues, royalty disputes, and shortly thereafter Bowie set up his own label, ISO, licensed through Columbia. Five of Toy's tracks have since seen release, appearing on 2002's Heathen and as B-sides, although the bulk of Toy remained a mystery.

On Sunday, that changed. A week after an Australian man sold a purported copy of Toy on eBay (it sold for £62.98), a CD-quality MP3 version of the album suddenly appeared on BitTorrent, spreading like (ziggy) stardust. This release is missing two tracks from Toy's alleged track-list, Can't Help Thinking About Me and Karma Man, but includes two that were rumoured to have been cut.

Toy's unveiling will be of considerable interest to music-starved Bowie fans, who haven't had a new album since 2003. Outside of a handful of cameos – including work with Arcade Fire, Scarlett Johansson and David Gilmour – the Thin White Duke has been on an apparent musical hiatus since heart surgery in 2004.

Nouja hij was toch ook wel een icoon voor jonge junks in die tijd. Zie de film Christiane F. Best pijnlijk.

Leading contemporary composer Philip Glass described Low as "a work of genius" in 1992, when he used it as the basis for his Symphony No. 1 "Low"; subsequently, Glass used Bowie's next album as the basis for his 1996 Symphony No. 4 "Heroes".[63][64] Glass has praised Bowie's gift for creating "fairly complex pieces of music, masquerading as simple pieces".

Heroine? Ik heb nog nooit tot zelden iets gehoord over David Bowie en heroine. Des te meer over cocaine (en melk). De enige link met heroine die ik leg is Christiane F inderdaad.
