Welsh
spacerockers' tribute to Bowie gets released on 7” vinyl!
As the we adjust to
living in a post-Bowie world, and try to work out what that might
mean, the column page tributes continue to pile up. Save for Lady
Gaga and Lourdes there haven't been that many musical tributes.
Fruits de Mer Records released a timely Bowie tribute CD at the tail
end of last year for their regular customers. Whether the man himself
ever got to hear it is unclear. It's comforting to think he might.
Sendelicahad a live
acoustic version of 'Ziggy Stardust' on that compilation but it's a
seven minute studio version that's getting a stand-alone release on
7” vinyl next month. It does not attempt to recreate Ronson's
crunchy glammed-up guitar chords that give the original it's pomp and
purpose, opting instead for a slower, more ethereal and atmospheric
take. The yin to Bowie's yang is provided by the layered female
vocal. The B-side is an equally enthralling remix by Astralasia's
Marc Swordfish. Both sides honour Bowie's preference for the new and
experimental over anything tried and tested. David would no doubt
have approved.
Released as a limited
edition colour vinyl 7” (600 copies).
