Labyrinth (Original Soundtrack of the Jim Henson Film) – David BowieView More By David Bowie Our ReviewIt’s strange that the 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth failed at the box office when there was so much going for it. Jim Henson peppered the movie with Muppets, and it featured a young and beautiful Jennifer Connelly. It also starred a Fu Manchu-by-way-of-Andy Warhol-looking David Bowie, who wrote and recorded six songs for the soundtrack. Even the Trevor Jones score is a cool mix of ‘80s-flavored synthesizers and pointed guitars. Bowie’s “Chilly Down” is sung in character as Jareth, the evil Goblin King, but it sounds like a wonderfully cartoonish mix of Let’s Dance and Tonight-era Bowie, and there’s even a rap in the middle of the tune! With “Hallucination,” Jones approximates tripping out with warbling melodies and bent strings before a very unpsychedelic saxophone slips in and straightens things out. Bowie’s “As the World Falls Down” sounds like a less-daunting version of “This Is Not America” (which he recorded a year prior for the soundtrack to The Falcon and the Snowman). The smooth and soulful “Underground” proves to be the standout jam.. Customer ReviewsUnbelievable (4 stars)David Bowie's voice in Labyrinth is hauntingly beautiful and fantastic through every note. Within You was a song that stayed in my head for years after I watched the movie for the first time and Magic Dance is a song that can still get me to sing along and even dance with David Bowie as the movie plays in the backround. Trust me...If you are a Bowie fan you will not want to miss out on these songs. Bowie Appreciation (5 stars) As a kid, I always HATED the masquerade party sequence. I thought it was boring (no Muppets!?) and too romantic (what kid likes that?). Looking back, older and wiser, that sequence has one of the best songs in the movie. Listen to "As the World Falls Down" and tell me it's not heartbreakingly good. Do it now! I dare you. Magic Dance and Within You... (5 stars) PWN ALL OTHER SONGS. If you haven't seen the movie and aren't planning to get a song... watch the movie. Then, tell me you didn't like it. Go down the bog of eternal STENCH. MUAHAHAHAHA BiographyBorn: January 08, 1947 in Brixton, London, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s The cliché about David Bowie says he's a musical chameleon, adapting himself according to fashion and trends. While such a criticism is too glib, there's no denying that Bowie demonstrated remarkable skill for perceiving musical trends at his peak in the '70s. After spending several years in the late '60s as a mod and as an all-around music-hall entertainer, Bowie reinvented himself as a hippie singer/songwriter. Prior to his breakthrough in 1972, he recorded a proto-metal record and a pop/rock album,...
