David Bowie’s first greatest hits collection remains one of his best. Yes, it’s only eleven tracks and it only covers about five albums, but the sheer genius on display and musical invention is astounding. The alien-folk rock of “Space Oddity” will not prepare you for the coked out soul crooner of “Golden Years,” but its cynical and detached vocals and heavy keyboards works as a bridge to the avant-garde Low, his next studio release. Everything in-between is an envious collection of cabaret folk, plastic soul, avant-garde rock, proto-punk and early New Wave. In these songs you can hear the sounds and trajectory of the upcoming alternative rock scenes of the 70s and 80s. An essential collection if there ever was one. And how about that gorgeous album art?
