Something that surprised me a lot was the soundtrack. I wasn't exactly expecting a rock opera or anything (although I would have loved that), but when you've got David Bowie starring in a movie, where he's basically a rock star alien, why not throw in some of Bowie's music? I've heard rumors that "Changes" and "Space Oddity" were mentioned in the original script, so what happened? Was Roeg afraid that the music would shift the mood or focus of the film?
