Advantages: a return to form Disadvantages: I wanted more
...I could see Mr Bowie's Heathen sat just to my right waiting for me to snap him up.
I couldn't wait to get it home and give it a play.
The version of the album I got is the two-disk gatefold sleeve limited edition/deluxe package.
Disk 1 is the album itself. The track listing is as follows
Sunday
Cactus
Slip Away
Slow Burn
Afraid
I've Been Waiting For You
I Would Be Your Slave
I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spaceship
5.15 The Angels Have Gone
... ...very new and fresh). Heathen sees him playing his style and playing it at its best.
Disk 2 has a number of interesting mixes though to be honest I feel the Moby mix of Sunday destroys the album version.

Here's the track list, but you can't get the feel for the outright energy of Afraid, the soulfulness of Slip Away or the poppy ... ...my mere words.

Cactus
Slip Away
Slow Burn

I've Been Waiting For You
I Would Be Your Slave
I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spaceship
5.15 The Angels Have Gone
Everyone Say "Hi"
A Better Future
The bottom line is, if you want to experience Bowie's version of back to the future, slip this CD into whatever player you prefer, kick back with your favourite brew, and just listen to David weave his musical web. Our favourite alien has ...

Advantages: The Album which made me a fan Disadvantages: perhaps too low key to impress new fans
To me this is a return to the David of old, with an emphasis more on astonishingly well written lyrics than on experimental music which seemed to be his preoccupation on a few previous albums. I was not a bowie fan for many years, and it was on this album that a few of his songs really grabbed me, having a real haunting quality to them which stayed in my head.
