David Bowie – The Width Of A Circle – 2021, 2 CD

435 views

The 2020 re-release of 'The Man Who Sold the World' restored the album's intended title 'Metrobolist', while featuring a mix by original producer Tony Visconti. Taking its name from the album's opening track, which was named after a painting by Bowie's friend George Underwood, the two-CD set 'The Width of a Circle' acts as a complementary piece to that album. Its 21 tracks feature non-album singles, a BBC In Concert session, music for a TV play and further Visconti remixes wrapping up David's recordings from 1970 and revealing the first sonic steps toward 'Hunky Dory' (1971).
