An updated version of David Bowie‘s art rock classic single ‘Sound and Vision‘ has been released to YouTube and iTunes.
The Sonjay Prabhakar remix takes the already beautifully minimalist nature of the track to further depths, and may be familiar to those in the UK after it was previously featured on an advertising campaign for the Xperia Z smartphone.
“By stripping away much of the original instrumentation to just leave Roy Young’s plaintive piano, Mary Hopkin’s backing vocal and the lead vocal, the song takes on a new reflective resonance,” a description of the song reads.
‘Sound and Vision’ originally led Bowie’s celebrated 1977 LP ‘Low‘ – the first edition of his so-called ‘Berlin Trilogy’. Its new recording is set to be followed by a James Murphy-produced extended reworking of the ‘Next Day‘ album track ‘Love Is Lost‘, which has been stretched out to over ten minutes in length and will be debuted on BBC 6Music tomorrow (October 9th).
