The Buddha of Suburbia is the 19th studio album by David Bowie. It was originally released on 8 November 1993 by Arista Records in the UK and Europe. The project originated following an interview between Bowie and novelist Hanif Kureishi during a press tour for Black Tie White Noise (1993), where Bowie agreed to compose music for an upcoming adapation of Kureishi's 1990 novel The Buddha of Suburbia. After making basic tracks, Bowie decided to turn the project into a full album. Recording took place at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland and was completed in six days. Bowie primarily collaborated with Turkish musician Erdal Kızılçay, while pianist Mike Garson contributed overdubs.
The music on The Buddha of Suburbia primarily consists of numerous motifs created using various instruments. The pieces contain references to his late-1970s works throughout. Commentators have noted the presence of rock, pop, ambient, jazz and experimental themes throughout. The music itself bears little resemblance to the music of the BBC serial; only the title track featured in the programme. Aside from three instrumentals, the lyrics are non-linear, which Bowie utilized as a way to reduce narrative form.
