Down in space it’s always 1982… (or thereabouts)
As we get closer to the series finale (penultimate episode this coming Thursday) Sony BMG are set to release the original soundtrack which accompanies the hit BBC TV series Ashes To Ashes on Monday…and we have five copies to give away courtesy of LD COMMUNICATIONS.
But, before all that, here’s the full tracklisting:
01 Introduction ? Dialogue: Alex Drake
02 David Bowie ? Ashes To Ashes
03 Visage ? Fade To Grey
04 The Human League- Love Action
05 Duran Duran ? Girls On Film

21 Bryan Ferry ? Let?s Stick Together
22 Ultravox ? Vienna
23 Edmund Butt – Title Music from ?Ashes To Ashes?
24 Epilogue: Dialogue: Fandabydozy
Ashes To Ashes is the full album version, while track 12, despite it’s title, has nothing to do with the similarly-named Bowie song.
Of course, unlike the recent TOTP 80s triple CD release (02.24.2008 NEWS: TOTP TRIPLE CD INCLUDES ASHES TO ASHES) the compiler of this soundtrack hasn’t stuck religiously to 80s releases, with five of the CD’s nineteen non-original compositions being originally released in the 70s.
Now guess what, to be in with a chance of winning one of the five CDs, all you have to do is identify those five tracks that were originally released in the 70s. I should point out that the Ferry track isn’t the 80s remix, but the original.
Not easy, I know. Particularly as it isn’t even a Bowie-related answer…that’s eliminated one possibility for you!
However, if you do find the stamina to enter and you think you have all five answers, (titles alone will do) send your entry to me here.
Usual BowieNet rules apply: Only one entry per BowieNet account, and please remember you must enter using your BowieNet e-mail or at least supply your BowieNet user name.
The contest ends at 10:00pm UK time on Thursday 20th, giving the lucky winners a week to listen before the final episode…A really useful advantage I’m sure you’ll agree.
The five winners will be notified relatively shortly thereafter.
