David Bowie – The Next Day Extra EP (Vinyl)
The tracks on David Bowies' The Next Day Extra EP RSD release mostly echo the alt-rock sound heard on parts of The Next Day.
The final track, God Bless The Girl, is the high point of the new material here. It doesn't quite fit into this era of David Bowie's career, instead sounding more like his folky, upbeat '60s work. It's a surprise at the end of the EP, but it makes for a great closer.
The real standout here, though, is James Murphy's mix of Love Is Lost - a 10-minute dance mix with pulsing synths, manipulated applause, piano, Bowie's doom-invoking vocals, and samples from his 1980 hit Ashes To Ashes.
This is one of the best moments of his recent career and this track alone makes the EP as a whole a fascinating listen.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
