Justin ,
I dont know if you've seen this on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B9YX3O5vnc) ...Im really diggin this tune and think I'm gonna try and transcribe it for a small 5 piece house band I'm in . Just curious as to who found the tune and how it came about that you guys played it. Thanks

| | | | I think it was an Ennio Morricone theme. We found it in Japan on some crazy comp. Glad you dig it.

| | | | First off Ennio rules. Second I swear I have heard that "are you ready?" in a Tom Waits song....its on Real Gone. |

| | | I can clear this up! It's not Morricone, but English library music composer Keith Mansfield with 'Funky Fanfare'.
It's available on the compilation album Blow Up Presents Exclusive Blend Vol. 2
All of these compilations are wicked and worth a listen. All these guys like Keith and Alan Hawkshaw were just sitting in studios creating shedloads of awesome tunes, some of which were used (think Grandstand, Wimbledon, the old Grange Hill theme, Countdown.. I could go on, but the Americans will have lost me!) and many of which weren't. Glad they got a second airing on these comps 
Take it easy,

Very helpful, Dan!

Edit: that appears to be the fabled custom Schecter Hellcat 8-string used on the odelay tour

| | | | Schecter Hellcat 4-string bass, uber-custom. It's the sister to the 8-string.

i kind of expected the band to break into 'station to station' or 'golden years'...

| | | Yeah he sure does, now that you mention it.
That era Bowie is so amazing to me. So much great YouTube of that stuff.
ChicagoMike: those are some HOT suggestions!
Amos: thank you, glad you like that bass. It's a real gem sonically and playing-wise, too bad the paint scheme doesn't work for NIN.

'station to station', 'Low', and 'Heroes' are three of my favourite records EVER... 'lodger' has some moments, but sonically it doesn't stand up for me.
"It's not the side effects of the cocaine, i'm thinking that it must be love..."
great music. what a great band in that era, too. dennis davis and george murray were a killing rhythm section.

| | | | Egad, that rhythm section is just ASTOUNDING!!
Watching anything Bowie from that era just makes me completely intoxicated.
