Hey people, here's a cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World". This was recorded during my 2022 course at TAFE. The mix for this was based on the 2020 remix by Tony Visconti, which was a huge step up from the original 1971 stereo mix.

I also wanted to make a callback to the 1982 Midge Ure version (which was the first version of the song I heard) with the motif/melody featured in that version in the outro of my cover.
