Moonage Daydream is the soundtrack album to the 2022 film by Brett Morgen.
As with the film, the album takes a kaleidoscopic, non-linear approach to Bowie’s career, containing snippets and full versions of studio and live performances from throughout Bowie’s career.
Its rarities include outtakes of ‘Sound And Vision’, an early version of ‘Quicksand’, a previously-unreleased live version of ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll With Me’ from the Soul Tour, and a long-unreleased live version of ‘The Jean Genie’ and the Beatles’ ‘Love Me Do’ featuring Jeff Beck on guitar.
Two tracks – ‘The Light’ and ‘Sons Of The Silent Age’ – were from Philip Glass’s “Heroes” Symphony, recorded by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at the Concert Hall in Poole, England, on 16 and 17 May 2006.
The release
The soundtrack was announced on 25 August 2022. The same day, the Moonage Daydream Mix of ‘Modern Love’ was posted on YouTube.
The second song from the album to be posted online was ‘DJ’ on 12 September.
The full soundtrack album was released digitally along with the Moonage Daydream film on 16 September 2022. A two-CD edition followed on 18 November.
