On November 3rd 1975, David Bowie – in the final stages of recording his legendary album Station to Station – took possession of a strange device. Bowie was at this time heavily into the occult; the artwork of Station to Station would feature an image of him sketching the Kabbalistic Tree of Life on the floor, so this was no doubt a welcome gift.

The device was a Kirlian Photograph Machine.
