Jumping on the post-grunge industrial bandwagon with Outside didn't successfully rejuvenate David Bowie's credibility or sales, so he switched his allegiance to techno and jungle for the follow-up, Earthling…
Ari Linker (aka Alien Project) selected 10 beautiful tracks for this project, most of them are featured for the first time on this compilation. Ari collaborated on this project with Celli Firmi from Ibiza, who is involved in the creation of 6 tracks in this project, under the groups 'Earthling', 'Water Spirits' and 'Space Drifters' with the great magical vocals of Isabelle Malchion. Siesta is a beautiful compilation, that develops and builds up from track to track and creates an audio - visual story to the ears of the listener, from ambient to dub, beautiful vocals with slight Oriental focus, and great harmonies and good dynamics, all with the unique touch of Alien Project.
The forthcoming David Bowie ‘era’ box set which covers most of the 1990s will be released in late November. Brilliant Adventures will be an 11CD box set or a 18LP vinyl box.
Bundled version of the six-track EP of unreleased and rare tracks on both CD and 12” E.P.
Triple CD box set that houses three studio albums from the Rock pioneer. From Bowie's more recent career this album collection features Outside 1995 (his reunion with Brian Eno), 1997s Earthling and Hours… from 1999. Includes the singles 'Hallo Spaceboy' and 'Little Wonder'.
The musical journey quite naturally continues on "Urd" …via rollercoaster throughout the northern landscapes. At its core the new album picks up where "Universal" left off, but Brun wasn’t shy about re-introducing the black metal elements Borknagar is known for. Nor was the band afraid of twisting their sound with occasional symphonics, Deep Purple-flavoured keyboards, epic vocal harmonies, and even a wah-wah guitar solo on one track ("The Earthling").
One of the most important aspects of "Urd" is the mix, handled this time out by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. Known for his work with Opeth and Katatonia, Bogren brought everything out of the original multi-studio production, right down to the tiniest nuance.
