Cover story: David Bowie
Six years after his death, David Bowie is still sorely missed and interest in him continues. On the occasion of the release of the new box set "Brillant Adventure (1992-2001)" and the previously unreleased album "Toy" we dedicate more than 40 pages to Bowie's underestimated creative phase in the 90s and talk to producer, sound engineer and musician Mark Plati, who between was Bowie's musical partner in 1996 and 2003. We also present 12 not-so-obvious Bowie vinyl collectibles from the last 50 years, revisit Bowie's career in images that show the artist and the people - as Ziggy Stardust, ALADDIN Sane, Thin White Duke and all his facets - and leave in search of traces of the musical influence that Bowie still exerts today.
