David Bowie – The Buddha Of Suburbia 2LP

David Bowie – The Buddha Of Suburbia

David Bowie’s full-album soundtrack loosely related to a BBC TV serialisation of Hanif Kureishi’s novel ‘The Buddha Of Suburbia’ has always been one of the hidden gems of his vast and celebrated back catalogue. While only the title track actually made it into the series, the finished album was a smorgasbord of jazz, ambient and experimental influences incorporated into a wider pop and rock aesthetic. While it initially flopped on release in late 1993, like much of Bowie’s Nineties work it has come to be positively reappraised.
