Labyrinth

from Battlecries + Champagne: A non-linear David Bowie podcast · host Battlecries + Champagne

We can show you a good time! And we don't charge nothing! If that tag line isn't enough to make you cringe, then maybe you're a fan of 1986's "cult" classic Labyrinth, where David Bowie, Jim Henson, George Lucas and Terry Jones get lost in each other's creativity. Hear what John, Andrew and Aaron (the chilliest bunch in the land) think of the film and specifically David Bowie's musical contributions. 02:36 Where Are We Now?film context and production history23:31 Let’s Face The Music and Dancescene-by-scene review and overall appreciation of the film1:27:41 Your Record Sleeves Are Better Than Your Songsanalysis of album artwork, singles artwork and movie posters1:35:32 VideoTimecomments on the project's music videos (Underground and As The World Falls Down) If you want to contact the show, we’d love to hear from [email protected] + Champagne on YT If you want to listen along, here's a YouTube playlist featuring all the songs/videos discussed: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyjkFh0YAk7sVnzxMZhkc8MPuZcGQ3ysD On that note, music in the podcast is not owned by Battlecries + Champagne and is, rather, the work of David Bowie. Music is used under the fair dealing provision in Canadian copyright law to the best of our understanding. We encourage listeners interested in hearing the full versions of songs to purchase them at their local record stores, through online digital music stores or heck, provide the Bowie Estate with some streaming revenue! Research for the show was culled from: Buckley, David.
