Space Oddity / The Man Who Sold the World

This single by English musician David Bowie was released in 1969. Musically it melds folk-based acoustic arrangements with psychedelic and space-rock textures and atmospheric production that evoke contemporary interest in space exploration, and it represents a transitional moment from Bowie's late-1960s singer-songwriter phase toward the more experimental, theatrical rock of his early 1970s output.
