David Bowie Divine Symmetry

Podnaslov „Divine Simmetry“ je „The Journey to Hunky Dory“, ali je lako mogao biti „The Journey to David Bowie“ jer je ovaj album iz 1971. godine mesto gde je Bouvi doživeo najveću slavu. Ovaj set od četiri diska, praćen raskošnom knjigom i ilustruje da ovo nije bio jednostavan proces. Skidajući se sa jakog hard rockzvuka na „The Man Who Sold the World“, Bouvi je pokušao da olakša svoj pristup, ponovo se povezujući sa svojim hipi folk i pop poreklom, dok je širio svoj domet. Krajnji rezultat je istorijski značajan, ali i zadovoljstvo za svakoga ko je želeo da živi u svetu „Hunky Dory-a“, ovo je odlično mesto za to.
