Merging his Man Who Fell to Earth film character into his new stage persona, The Thin White Duke, the record was fueled by heavy cocaine use that sometimes yielded 24 hour recording sessions. This made for an open and experimental songwriting and recording process, which is the perfect vibe for The Christopher Brown Quartet to explore.

And just like his father [Mel Brown] before him, Christopher has been on a quest to further infuse the Portland jazz scene with as many of the same musical and cultural sensibilities as is to be found within the NYC jazz scene. However, what separates this group from many others (in and outside of Portland), is the degree to which their sensibilities are entrenched within the NYC sound of the 1990s, which was marked by a youthful exuberance towards being steeped in as much of the history of music as possible, so as to use those same insights to agitate the boundaries of conventional thought.So given that David Bowies approach to music follows the same ethos, is why its so fitting to have the Christopher Brown Quartet navigate his music, so as to further push against the edges of what people would normally expect from Bowie himself.
