David Bowie- Transmission Impossible [3 CD, 2018] (FLAC + 320)

 

 

David Bowie s output from the late 1980s and 1990s has been reassessed in all the right quarters since the great man s tragic passing in 2016, and has rightfully now been awarded plaudits often denied the releases and concerts from this era at the time they took place. This triple disc set goes some way to contributing to this effort by bringing together broadcast recordings form 1990 and 1992. The first of these was recorded at Bowie s gig in Buenos Aires in August of 90, while the second is from Tin Machine s legendary tour of Japan in the early part of 92, with the show presented here being the group s performance at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on 17th February. The set is completed with a disc of television appearances recorded between 1975 and 1995, which features some of Bowie s best ever live TV spots.
