Good to see Omikron: The Nomad Soul is at the V+A. For the record (pun acknowledged), the video game did not beget the Hours album. The two projects ran parallel and leapfrogged, and David Bowie & I had started song writing together for Hours long before the game developers approached him/us. 🎵
A copy of the classic cyberpunk sci-fi computer game Omikron: The Nomad Soul is on display at the V&A David Bowie Centre, Stratford.
The soundtrack was written & performed by Bowie and Reeves Gabrels, whose guitar work helped shape the game’s dark, futuristic atmosphere, and lead to the Hours… LP.

Not whistling while I work, but listening to just the most BRILLIANT music, including The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Modern English, Dead Can Dance, Talk Talk, Simple Minds (2nd album), and although some of these bands are still around, God, the late 70s and early 80s were so, so *brilliant* musically.
