Hello,
Just thought I'd let you know that the Ziggy Plays Surf Guitar CD is out now and available from the record shop at www.cordeliarecords.co.uk - (and probably other places including CDBaby eventually). There are a couple of bonus downloads here: http://www.cordeliarecords.co.uk/Pages/the%20david%20bowie%20project.html

There's also a (not terribly) secret bonus track which is a version of The Laughing Gnome.

My copy arrived over the weekend and I've been enjoying it ever since. Fantastic tracks from excellent bands, and I plan to check out those bonus downloads soon.

I'm glad to see this project come to fruition - congrats to all! If there is anyway to make these available for sale at the SG101 convention, my wallet will be ready. If not, I will order online in a few weeks.

It's still alive! New review of this comp was just posted here.
While the writer clearly has no idea what he's talking about in regards to my band, I'm glad he's talking about it.

I bought my copy a little while ago. I like it a lot. Very well-done, everyone. I've wondered what Bowie thinks of it. Has anyone on it heard anything?

This might be a silly internet rumour so don't take it as absolute truth. Apparently Bowie hardly ventures out from his home, some think he might not be very well at the moment.

Don't know if this is for real, though all of it is certainly true, but there's a comment:
i,m listening to it now and it,s rather pleasant..I,m a bit of a Bowie disciple and this shouldn,t really work, but it does!
