A Goth's Wet Dream

To live in a town split in half,capitol of THE darkest country in the world, going to bowie concerts, being a prostitute and shoting up some smack. Broken city, frustrated people. Could it get any better? Christiane gave the world the "Heroin Chic" look and if there is such thing as riot grrrl you should thank her.

Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it

Granted I am tainted by a nostalgic flashbacks to the first time I saw the Christiane F. movie when it was first released in Germany. Sure most of the songs are contained on other albums. If you are a true Bowie fan though, you will enjoy the compilation of songs and their order. If you are a Bowie collector, you will own the first CD with the Hereos/Helden song: an absolute Bowie classic. Plus the movie shots in the insert are worth owning the CD.

Great Compilation

This is an excellent compilation drawing from David Bowie's 1970's Berlin-era work. Bowie has released way too many greatest hits packages in the last 15 years and this set really stands apart from those in that Christiane F mines what is arguably his most creative and influential period for album track gems that would never have been released as singles.

This is the only place I know to go for the Heroes / Helden, English / German, hybrid (its nifty).
