A most fitting tribute to David Bowie

David Bowie has meant a great deal to my brothers and I throughout our lives. Our introduction was initially via the rather atypical Let’s Dance album, but we were encouraged to explore his earlier works and beyond, and found that we loved pretty much everything about him - his persona, his uniquely resonant singing voice, and his chameleon-like ability to continually evolve his style - musical and otherwise.

He is truly one of just a handful of musical icons who indelibly stamp their identity across the generations. The incredible thing is how so many of David’s fans have journeyed with him through the ages, and how he has managed to remain relevant and appealing while doing things entirely his own way.

The above video is a uniquely sequenced Soulwax anthology of an hour’s worth of most of Bowie’s memorable tracks, set to a suitably Bowiesque visual narrative, I can’t think of anything more fitting ... enjoy!
