When David Met Matthew (A Bowie/Dear Love-In)

Matthew Dear - Sound & Vision (MP3)

As you’re no doubt aware, I love David Bowie. I even threw a party for his 60th birthday (the ignorant so-and-so didn’t turn up, but what the hey, maybe next time). So when I heard about a covers album about to drop, with a stellar roster that’s sure to tick any Beef fan’s boxes - Kelley Polar, Carl Craig, Emperor Machine and a fair few others. And then this, Matthew Dear’s excursion into Low highlight “Sound & Vision”.

As with anything that looks this good on paper, you’re just pressing play, crossing your fingers, and hoping to yourself “please don’t be shit”. Well, I’m pretty sure that it’s safe from that - it sounds just like, well, Matthew Dear … doing … Sound & Vision.

Time to sit right down, and wait for the gift. Or you could just go buy it instead

I was a bit sceptical about this when I heard about it but all the tracks that I have heard off the album have been really strong - I really like the Joakim one. What a job, eh? Wake up one day and decide that you’re going to ask all your favourite artists to remake a Bowie tune. Not shit at all.
