Paste Magazine reports that David Bowie has been infected with the remix virus, and will be releasing a special remixed EP of "Space Oddity" to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's deft step-down onto the lunar surface:
The EP will feature four mixes of the original tune, as well as the song's eight original master tracks, which fans will be able to manipulate into their own mixes with any audio editing software, including iPhone app iKlax. The release date is certainly no accident. On his website, Bowie reminds us that the BBC used the song during its broadcast of the lunar landing, and that the original track was released just days before the monumental moonwalk.
I'm looking forward to it. I hope he remixes the cover photo, though.
