+veritaseros the songs are great- the drum and bass style percussion just wore thin after a while- the acoustic version of dead man walking showed it was classic bowie and Little wonder is great
Little Wonder, Looking for Satellites, Battle for Britain (The Letter), Telling Lies, The Last Thing You Should Do, Law (Earthlings on Fire) - great versions of those songs. I dislike the sentiment of 'I'm Afraid of Americans' because it seems so un-Bowie to, to the casual observer, to label a whole country even though his career shows a love of certain aspects of Americana. As for Dead Man Walking, the acoustic version on Conan is so perfect that it renders the Earthling version as overcooked. I mean, it is a deliberately overcooked album in many regards, after the subtle touches of 1. Outside. Even though Telling Lies could have fit in on 1. Outside.
Earthling came out when I was in 7th grade and it was my first awareness of David Bowie. And Little Wonder was a track my best friend's favorite song who passed right around the same time Bowie. So thanks for uploading this.
I love this guy he wasn't from this fuckin Earth he was our dear alien ,starman ,spaceman,he miss me very much and he gave to us beautiful and gorgeous music except LP ''Never Let Me down'' but doesn't matter everybody sometimes has mistake ...Bowie I hope that you sing with some deceased musicians mates somwher where the angels coming at 5:15 ,Thanks for this upload ,Cheers!
Love Earthling!! Hard to decide which one is the best. Depends on your mood. But this is pretty damn close!!! Definitely one of my favorites and I've been a fan since Space Oddity started getting played in the US!
I really love the quasi industrial songs on here (americans, little wonder, telling lies, seven years, battle for britain, satellites), but the more d'n'b songs im less struck on
