9th September, 2022, With just one week until the release of MOONAGE DAYDREAM, the critically acclaimed film by Brett Morgen, Parlophone Records is proud to announce the second track to be taken from the musical accompaniment ‘D.J.’ (MOONAGE DAYDREAM MIX).
Initially released as a single in Summer 1979 as the follow up to ‘BOYS KEEP SWINGING’ from the album LODGER, ‘D.J.’ is one of Bowie’s most adventurous singles featuring discordant violin and improvised guitar solos that were made up on the spot without the player having heard the track in advance. This exclusive and unique mix that features in MOONAGE DAYDREAM and on its companion album focuses on the song’s instrumental groove, offering an insight into the art funk foundation of the track.
Coming to cinemas this month, MOONAGE DAYDREAM illuminates the life and genius of David Bowie, one of the most prolific and influential artists of our time. Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances and music, Brett Morgen’s (The Kid Stays in the Picture, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, Jane) feature length experiential cinematic odyssey explores David Bowie’s creative, musical and spiritual journey. The film is guided by David Bowie’s own narration and is the first officially sanctioned film on the artist.
The companion album to MOONAGE DAYDREAM features songs spanning Bowie’s career and includes previously unheard material, unique mixes created for the film and this release, along with dialogue from Bowie himself.
Highlights include a previously unreleased live medley of 'THE JEAN GENIE / LOVE ME DO / THE JEAN GENIE’ recorded live at the final Ziggy Stardust concert at Hammersmith Odeon in 1973, featuring Jeff Beck on guitar. Other rarities include an early version of the HUNKY DORY favourite ‘QUICKSAND’ and a previously unreleased live version of ‘ROCK ’N’ ROLL WITH ME’ from the legendary 1974 ’Soul Tour’.
The first track to be released was ‘MODERN LOVE’ (MOONAGE DAYDREAM MIX), one of Bowie’s biggest and best-loved worldwide hits. This version is a unique mix starting with the isolated piano motif from the track, building up into the chorus before ending on the a cappella backing vocals offering an insight into the individual elements that create the classic we all know and love.
