The Bowie Influence        Was just listening to Zoom Daddy yesterday (the song, not the album) and it reminded me of "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie - especially the words being spoken under the vocals. Doppelganger also seems to have some Bowie influence on it. Any other songs/albums by DA/SE that have a Bowie vibe? __________________ David Andrew Wiebe www.daw-music.com www.arcticsunburn.com 11-28-2002 00:48 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love This was briefly discussed on another thread a couple of months ago. Someone said that Ashes To Ashes sounded like Doppelganger. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

I hadn't thought of that before, but yes I see the similarity. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

I think it's the other way around. Admittedly, a lot of Doppelganger appears to be Bowie-esque. __________________ David Andrew Wiebe www.daw-music.com www.arcticsunburn.com 11-28-2002 23:11 arcticsunburn Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 06-10-2002 Posts: 2,084 Location: Guitar; A way to express what words can't describe, and a moment of peace in a chaotic world.

Actually, that was probably me (and I said that Scary Monsters sounded like Doppelgagner and Vox Humana). __________________ David Andrew Wiebe www.daw-music.com www.arcticsunburn.com 11-28-2002 23:12 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love Yes, it was you, I think. I thought we also discussed Scary Monsters. I then went and grabbed a couple of my Bowie CD's to listen to the songs from those albums. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

However.... One day when I was working in the youth area and cranking "Vox Humana", our custodian happened by during "Sanctuary" and asked, "Uh, are you jammin' to Bowie?" I had never thought of it, but that song does carry some Bowie influence in it. 11-29-2002 22:27 baxter Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 15,686 Location: "Come, let us to our holy task again." i had a similar experience over 10 years ago. i was working in a classroom for disabled adults. Cleaning the room at the end of the day, i was playing vox humana, and a co-worker asserted that Sanctuary sounded like Bowie. 11-30-2002 00:24 arcticsunburn Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 06-10-2002 Posts: 2,084 Location: Guitar; A way to express what words can't describe, and a moment of peace in a chaotic world.

Maybe because it's the first Bowie album I listened to all the way through. But it's real special. __________________ David Andrew Wiebe www.daw-music.com www.arcticsunburn.com 11-30-2002 01:55 arcticsunburn Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 06-10-2002 Posts: 2,084 Location: Guitar; A way to express what words can't describe, and a moment of peace in a chaotic world.
