David Bowie – Sound And Vision 2013

Can I talk anyone here into parting with their copy?

I guess most are buying the picture disc edition of this to listen to: because it is the only general release / tangible way, of purchasing Sonjay Prabhakar's remix.

Then there is this promo CD edition. I think this mix wasn't intended to be released to the public, produced for advertising purposes; as a result it is very short (1:50), there is a repetitive longer version.

That said the experiment paid off reducing the song to Bowie's, Hopkin's and Eno’s voices. The piano works beautifully. I have to say, for this song, being a very pure SOUND, I wouldn't want to hear it on a picture disc. Nor do I want to hang it on the wall - though the Man Who Fell to Earth image is classic, so maybe I should reconsider the picture disc as a wall hanging . . .

The below is taken straight from the davidbowienews www:

"Reworked from the original tapes by Sonjay Prabhakar for Sony’s Xperia™ Z smartphone advertising campaign. Sound and Vision 2013 is a beautifully haunting reimagining of the song, re-worked from the original stems by remixer Sonjay Prabhakar. By stripping away much of the original instrumentation to just leave Roy Young’s plaintive piano, Mary Hopkin’s backing vocal and the lead vocal, the song takes on a new reflective resonance."
