The Buddha of Suburbia is a 1993 soundtrack album by David Bowie which accompanied the 4-part television serial The Buddha of Suburbia on BBC2 (itself adapted from the book The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi).<\/p>\n
Released between Black Tie White Noise (1993) and Outside (1995), the album was produced and mixed at Mountain Studios (Montreux) in Switzerland and, according to Bowie, it took only six days to write and record, but fifteen days to mix because of some “technical breakdowns”.<\/p>\n
Although the album has been classified as a soundtrack, the title track is the only song to have been featured in the programme (as further detailed below).<\/p>\n
Two of the tracks are ambient instrumentals and quite similar to Bowie’s work with Brian Eno in the late 1970s. Other tracks on the album make strong use of saxophone, electronic keyboards and piano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
