Doesn't really add anything to the original, or reinterpret in any interesting or meaningful way. Consider Bowie in the original,
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
The second line here is sung by Bowie alone, in a delivery that conveys to the listener an intimacy and a palpable sense of loss between Maj. Tom and his wife. The Tangerine Dream version has none of that, and when this version comes to that line here, I am expecting it, but I there's nothing. Just the same remote distance throughout the song.
And I think that's the problem with this cover - it's too impersonal and remote. and I just don't get any feeling for the singer's addiction.
