1159.0. "Bowie help needed" by MIACT::RANKINE () Mon Jun 21 1993 22:58

    Any Bowie fans out there who can assist me ??
    
    Recently I bought Philip Glass' Low Symphony, which is based on
    Bowie/Eno music from Low.  There are 3 tracks on it...Subterraneans,
    Warzawa...both on 'Low' and a track called 'Some Are', ewhich is not on
    my version of 'Low'.  Anyone know where the 'Some Are' came from ??
    
    If anyone is interested, the Low symphony is really well done.  It
    keeps with the basic theme of Subterraneans and Warzawa very well , and
    actually adds something to them as well.  Given that I think Warzawa
    (not sure if Im spelling it right), is one of my favourite tracks, and
    a masterpiece in its time, I could recommend anyone to the Low
    symphony...provided they are familiar with Phili Glass, as hes not
    everyones cup of tea.
    
    Cheers

1159.1still a great album, after all these years ...AYOV14::DROBBHere at the dude ranch above the seaTue Jun 22 1993 17:4410
    Paul,
    
    "Some Are" is included as a 'bonus' track (together with another piece
    entitled "All Saints") on the EMI/Rykodisc CD re-issue of the _LOW_
    album.
    
    Yes, and I agree that Philip Glass's _LOW SYMPHONY_ is well worth
    investigating!

1159.3Why did I have to be out???AYOV25::DROBBHere at the dude ranch above the seaWed Oct 20 1993 16:537
    Can anyone help me with a copy of last Saturday's "BOWIE AT THE BEEB"
    programme (Bob Harris, 1FM, 2-3pm)???  Classic stuff, by all accounts.
    
    Re. "Low" - yes, Paul ... I'd say that the 'bonus' tracks on the CD are
    worth the extra dosh.
