Heathen

'Heathen' was David Bowie's debut album for Columbia Records, and it finds him in his best form in years. It contains songs that are haunting, mesmerising and contemporary without sacrificing the trademarks that made Bowie a musical legend.

'Heathen' is produced by long-time collaborator Tony Visconti ('Low', 'Young Americans' and 'Heroes') and features guest performances by Pete Townsend (The Who) and Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters).

"A masterpiece from a rock 'n' roll master. Throughout his recording career, David Bowie has never stagnated, consistently absorbing new ideas. He continues that tradition with 'Heathen'. It's exhilarating, but serious sounding. Bowie creates wonderful and sophisticated sound textures. The lyrics are simple, yet evocative. Bowie remains a master at this combination: hipness and artistic sensibility."
