DAVID BOWIE Music Box Biographical Collection DVD

There's an argument that David Bowie didn't just participate in alternative culture, he built the scaffolding the rest of us are still climbing. Ziggy Stardust gave a generation permission to be strange in public.

This Music Box Biographical Collection covers one of the most restless and genuinely weird careers in music history, a man who moved through glam, soul, art rock, industrial, drum and bass, and ambient music without ever looking like he was trying to keep up. Bowie is the patron saint of anyone who's ever changed their look so completely that their mum didn't recognise them, and this documentary traces the full shape of that transformation. Dark aesthetic, gothic undertones, and the constant sense that the most interesting person in any room was somewhere else entirely. Required context for the alternative fashion faithful.

DVD, unofficial release, contains no original music by the artist. Released 2006, UK origin. Genre: Alternative.
