'Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie. He is the kind of artist who writes and performs what he wants, when he wants.' - David Bowie's spokesman

Bowie recorded 'Where Are We Now?' in New York with his long-term producer, Tony Visconti. The accompanying video, directed by multimedia and installation artist Tony Oursler, features the singer and images of his time in Berlin.
