Waiting In The Sky

by Chris Catalyst

the_real_doctor_jeep These days, Chris is not only a gentle giant of unapologetic (power) pop but your first address for ace cover versions where he turns songs into his own with ease. Covering Bowie is a bold and dangerous endeavour, but guess what - the Catalyst does so get away with it. Listen to that beautiful end of Ashes To Ashes (listen to the whole song and the rest ofc) and let your fingers do the magic with the buy button. Favorite track: Ashes To Ashes.

catopig As a Bowie fan I am sceptical of covers, but this hits the sweet spot of just enough tribute to the original and just enough personal style. Keep an ear out for some smart arrangements and proof that guitars can substitute for pretty much anything, even a descant recorder Favorite track: Absolute Beginners.

Evilother It's not a lazy covers album, it's a Chris Catalyst album using the words written by Bowie (there are a few songs that are direct covers but they work brilliantly). Strongly recommend, this might turn out to be my album of the year.

Wildheartsfan80 This a true labor of love, as referenced in his solo track “You Die At the End.” A very entertaining listen that leans into the deeper tracks. Chris is ace and you should buy this right now. Favorite track: Moonage Daydream.

Lauren Breeden Absolute fave track - such a driving little bop with a super fun bass line. Favorite track: Breaking Glass.

kitsanaofallrealms You really captured something in this version that hit me hard! Favorite track: Ashes To Ashes.
