I appreciated his differentness but was never an ardent fan. I did really like "Major Tom" though.
And I'm gone gone gone
Now I'm older than movies
Let me dance away
Now I'm wiser than dreams
Let me fly fly fly
Till I'm touching tomorrow
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fall
And I'm gone
Like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone
Through a crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Role model, sex symbol, artistic inspiration, creative genius, and formerly constant part of my life, goodbye! I'll miss you.

That music was never released outside of Omicron that I know of. A bit of a collector's item (still have my copy) and a very unique game.
While people naturally think of his music when he's mentioned, if you look at his videography it's interesting to note that it's longer then most actors/actresses and includes writing and producing credits (including... The Simpsons.)
A couple of interesting films he was in were the classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hunger a vampire movie that used subliminal suggestion to interesting effect, and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.
The Omikron music was the album "Hours" I didn't realise it had come out till I played Omikron and bought it straight away. I actually purchased a steam copy of Omikron (same game but fudged to work on all the latest windows platforms!) a few months back purely to get to the club scene where the virtual bowie performs "Survive"
Gedd: Yeah, I love him as an actor.
Don't forget Zoolander! Hehheh.
I liked him as Tesla too in The Prestige and he was very funnny in the TV show Extras.
I suppose I'm not really mourning him so much as mourning my own past. Nostalgia with teeth.
But man, it's hitting me.
So sad.
Don't forget Labyrinth! This Slate post makes the following comment:
I get the sense that people who were familiar with David Bowie before this movie came out think it's a silly piece of crap. However, there is an entire generation [maybe more] of us whose first intro to David Bowie was through this film. The man, the hair, the pants, the voice, the legend... :p He's always going to be Jareth, icon of fantastic queer power, to me.

Man, those pants.
Arguably the real star of the film. :p

From his just released Blackstar CD, "Lazarus" track:
"Look up here I'm in heaven. I've got scars that can't be seen. I've got drama that can't be stolen. Everybody knows me now."
A true artist till the end. R.I.P. Dear David! Still very upset. Didn't sleep well last night at all. It's horrible to go to bed so sad and shocked!
I have a copy of The Hunger. That was one of the most artistic vampire films ever done. Bowie was BRILLIANT to say the least!
David Bowie was a unique talent and he will be sorely missed. Quite apart from his tallents as a singer, I will never forget his performance in the Christopher Nolan movie "The Prestige". He underplayed the part brilliantly and brought a quiet dignity to it.
In sadness,
Alex.
Very very sad.
Que en Paz descanses, mi querido David Bowie.

An incredible animated series of handmade drawings showcasing the many faces of David Bowie has gone viral in the wake of the 69-year-old iconic singer’s shock death.
UK artist Helen Green created the ‘Time May Change Me’ gif last year.
The images show the many personas the singer adopted throughout his career, from his experiences as an extra-terrestrial rock star Ziggy Stardust to his alter ego The Thin White Duke, from his album Station to Station.
The artist posted new drawings of the musician just days ago on January 9, Bowie’s birthday, only two days prior to his death from cancer.
"Working on perhaps my most cheerful David Bowie pattern to date. Happy 69th birthday to the Thin White Duke himself! Can’t wait to listen to the new album," she wrote.
In the gif, the artist merged 29 drawings she had drawn over her career.
The animation has gone viral again in the wake of the singer’s death.

I remembered an odd incident which speaks volumes about how unique Bowie's music was, but also how it could always grab me.
I first got the movie 'Seven' on VHS from Blockbuster in Milan. Over the end credits, I heard this amazing music, but I didn't know what it was. And even Bowie's vocals didn't clue me in at first. I kept going until I found the music credit, and Lo and Behold, it was 'The Heart's Filthy Lesson'.
Even after buying every album he'd released, I didn't recognise his new style.
I feel like I lost a friend today. I won't say how old I am :) but I went to school in England when Bowie's early and imho best albums came out. He was truly unique and played to his own tune.
I don't know how one goes about it but I was wondering about some sort of "Bowie" contest? The imagination boogles what some of our great artists here could come up with - given the range of his work and life.
I think we just lost our Prettiest Star!
David Bowie's status as a cultural icon is amply demonstrated by the fact that "The Times" devoted eight or nine pages to him today.
Still grieving,
Alex.
Which Times are you referring to Alex? Can you provide a link? Thank you! I'm still grieving too but feel a little better today!
I'm a big Duran Duran fan and without David Bowie and his musical influence, they would never have existed.
Allot of bands and other entertainers wouldn't either exist or not have the edge or style they have if not for the inventive Bowie!
I watched Lazarus for the first time and I cried for most of an hour.
And, again, I don't think it's HIM in particular, it's just how interconnected he is with so much of my past. I grew up listening to him, I adored Labyrinth, watched him re-invent himself countless times. I didn't always like his music, but he was a Figure.
His mortality is a reminder of my mortality, all the more highlighted by Blackstar, a compelling send-off, a rare opportunity for a showman to take the final curtain on something like his own terms.
Well said Will!
An appropriate choice, I would say.
A sad day, indeed. I just got over hearing that Lemmy died of cancer, and now Bowie? Argh! I actually liked Bowie a lot more because he was so inventive. Back when the music video was a new thing (i.e. before MTV), the video for "Ashes to Ashes" was considered ground breaking. I loved all of his music. Some of the movies he was in, I didn't like as much, although for The Prestige, and Labyrinth, he was certainly perfect for those roles. I liked The Hunger and The Man Who Fell to Earth best.
There's a funny bit in the film "Worried About the Boy" when Bowie turned up at the Blitz club to gather extras for the Ashes to Ashes video. The club and the many UK artists it cultivated would not have existed if not for the man himself.
I believe Alex is referring to the UK newspaper which unfortunately has a subscription based website.
As a guitar player myself I was enamored by was incredible the talent he worked with: Mick Ronson, Adrian Belew, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Fripp, Reeves Gabriels, Peter Frampton, Carlos Alamar and Earl Slick but David was an amazing player as well, listen to his guitar playing on Space Oddity or Rebel Rebel. Bowie had chops!
Heh, I thought I was the last Duranie on the planet. *High 5 my friend*
Here's one for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZIHJgA_Z4
Without David Bowie we would not have so much of the music we have today. Even my son found on KMFDM's (90's industrial band, still recording today) Face Book page a "R.I.P David Bowie. Thanks for the inspiration" post.
While Under Pressure with Queen made me cry, this one made me smile. I think I'm the only person on the planet that remembers Mr. Bowie in the movie Absolute Beginners, too.
