David Bowie – Heathen (CD)

Released in 2002 after a decade of restless experimentation, Heathen marked Bowie's return to working with Tony Visconti, the producer behind some of his most celebrated Berlin-era work. Recorded largely at Allaire Studios in the Catskill Mountains, it carries a weight and introspection that rewards close listening, with Bowie revisiting his own catalog alongside covers of Pixies, Neil Young, and the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.
