Nothing Has Changed (The Best of David Bowie) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Bowie compilations there is now every few years. The 3 CD version of Nothing Has Changed covers but the first compilation from pretty much the entire time frame of his career (1964-2014). This attempt has been made to treat all eras equivalent. This has the inevitable consequence that the general public are represented clenched lesser known publications from the 90s as well as from its heyday of Space Oddity to mid 80s. Much of his major work goes under it. But on 3 CDs can not accommodate all the essential songs you. Even a few weeks ago published again highly recommended Boxset (4 CDs) Sound + Vision has to show some gaps in his hits (such as Fame and Let's Dance).

Most of his best-known songs are represented to Nothing Has Changed. On a Best Of eventually have to be as a selling point it also hits. Still, I can not understand why 1984 Cat People and songs were not considered by Tin Machine, but then some mE can be found unimportant songs from the last 2 decades, for example.
For Bowie collectors especially some hard-to-find single versions should be of interest. A majority of the songs is on the 3 CDs before in the single versions. These are mostly Edits. But there including some songs that have been remixed or completely different images than the album versions. Very nice is the entschlackte of its 80 production version of Time Will Crawl. With Your Turn To Drive, Shadow Man and Let Me Sleep Beside You there exists a few rarities that the never officially released album Toy (about 2000) were re-recorded. Eg Shadow Man was already too Ziggy Stardust times, Let Me Sleep Beside You was already published for the first time in the 60s.
With Sue there plus a new song, which is pretty much the craziest is what Bowie has taken on since Reality Bring Me The Disco King and shows what lies creative fire still in him. Please it more in the future.
Furthermore Nothing Has Changed offers first Bowie's work from the mid-90s combined extensively. This accounts for more than a CD here. It shows the already above-mentioned problem with the equivalent weighting of its epochs.
The 59 songs on 3 CDs are sorted from newest to oldest. The 2 CD version (begins with Space Oddity 1969) comes as the opposite approach. Musically it's a huge spectrum. 3 CDs can meet but a career spanning 50 years, not really.

Conclusion:
Who wants to have concentrated only the hits of Bowie and can dispense abwarf- on the late work -the barely large single-chart hits, which is perhaps better with the Best Of Bowie double CD (UK or US Edition with 39 or 38 songs) or operated with the 3 CD set Platinum Collection. In this regard, we recommend the tracklists compare previously. For those who want to have covered the entire spectrum of Bowie's career, Nothing Has Changed is recommended in the 3 CD version primarily as an entry. The version with 2 CDs of Nothing Has Changed results only because of the current low level of surcharge of 3 CD version makes little sense. The Bowie fan provides Nothing Has Changed over the other compilations by the many single versions, rarities or rare mix enough incentives. Therefore, full marks.
However, the publication policy of two almost simultaneously appearing Bowie boxset with Sound + Vision (ldgl. Re-release) and Nothing Has Changed I can not quite follow.
