£34.99 – 2xLP

The Buddha of Suburbia is the 19th album by David Bowie, originally released on 8 November 1993 through Arista Records. It’s rough, and has an air of the deliberately unfinished about it. Had it not been linked with Hanif Kureishi’s exemplary dramatisation of his book and Bowie called it something like Strangers, it would have been retrospectively given a great deal more air and talked about being the belated follow-up to Low and Heroes. Because the pressure was to an extent, off, it left Bowie free to score a soundtrack, pay homage to himself and his roots while rifling through various stages of his career.
