I just had to try this cover, one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums. You learn a lot when you try to match the production of a good old chestnut. I'm no Bowie...but it sure is fun pretending.

Very cool Mark............I love you stuff. The vocals were very strong, in fact as usual you did a great job overall.

Wow, haven't heard that one in a long time. Love your singing, as always, but I gotta go find the original so I can A-B them for production. I admire your bravery.

Nice job, Mark! I like that your voice still sounds like your own, which makes this a great tribute, rather than an impersonation. Given that, I did notice that you really captured Bowie's phrasing nicely on the 2nd verse. I love the big drum sound you used, too. Gives it a nice contemporary feel - brings it into the 21st century. The only drawback from me was the piano sound. It was very dry & sample sounding. I would have liked to hear a little room ambience on it to give it a little depth, like it could have been in the same room as the drums, but closer than the drums to the listener.

Overall stellar, my friend!

Good cover, Mark. It sounded great.
