All Saints (Collected Instrumentals 1977–1999)
All Saints: Collected Instrumentals 1977–1999 gathers David Bowie's wordless pieces into a single compilation. It began life as a two-disc Christmas gift for friends and family in 1993, pressed in only 150 copies and later a collector's item. The version released on Virgin in July 2001 is a reworked take on that private set.
For the public edition, the tracks from Black Tie White Noise ("Pallas Athena", "The Wedding" and "Looking for Lester") were dropped, along with "South Horizon" from The Buddha of Suburbia. In their place came "Brilliant Adventure" from 'hours…' and the 1980 single "Crystal Japan". It suits anyone who wants to hear Bowie's instrumental side on its own, stretching across more than two decades of his career.
