A colaboração entre o Pat Metheny Group e David Bowie resultou na faixa “This Is Not America”, que faz parte da trilha sonora do filme “The Falcon and the Snowman”.
A canção foi lançada como single, alcançando o n.º 14 na parada britânica e o n.º 32 nos Estados Unidos.
Posteriormente, “This Is Not America” foi incluída em compilações importantes como “Best of Bowie”, “The Singles Collection” e “Club Bowie”.
No processo de gravação, Pat Metheny comentou que as letras de David Bowie eram “profundas e significativas – e completamente perfeitas para o filme”.
A parceria entre os dois artistas, ambos de estilos distintos, marcou a primeira vez que a obra de Bowie foi remixada por um grupo de jazz fusion em um contexto cinematográfico.
