Lol, I remember that movie. (not from when it was new, mind you! *.*#)

I'm getting a BPM of 105.788 and an offset of 12,000 even. (Yours works fine for the map, but this one puts the downbeat in the right place.)

Did you space this one by hand? Because the distances used don't seem to correspond to a constant distance snap. It's completely intuitive, so no complaints.

Easy:

0:17:112 (2): Spacing here is a whole lot wider than the rest of the stage. Might be on purpose but it seems a bit ... odd.

Medium:

0:54:396 (6): This seems a bit too close to the 5, making me expect it a 1/8 sooner.
1:33:672 (4): Too close to the 3. Spacing should be consistent with the other whole beats.
2:13:232 (4): I can see there's a bit of spacing, but I still expect it on the next 1/2 beat.
2:40:315 (2), 2:51:658 (2): Exact opposite problem to the above. It's spaced wider than the other 1/2 beats, but it's still just a plain 1/2 beat. Move it up one grid space. (then shift-drag it a few pixels to the right to align it to the slider above. )
2:58:748 (2): Spaced one grid unit too far apart from the previous note.
2:59:882 (3): ^

Hard:

0:55:676 (2) and 3:41:274 (2): Spacing. Move closer to the end of the slider.
1:51:537 (5): Move back by a 1/4 for consistency or move off of the stack.
3:09:374 (5): Spaced like a 1/2. Move further away from the 4.

All in all, a great song and I'm looking forward to its ranking.

Shame this hasn't been ranked yet, but since it hasn't, a couple of stylistic suggestions:

Crop the background image to be closer to 3x4 proportions, so that it fills the screen.
Skin the slider ball to be a crystal ball, like the ones he uses in the movie. I can make that graphic if you want.
Put in some shaped sliders that evoke the trippy contact juggling moves he does with the crystal, perhaps during the instrumental between 2:39 and 2:53. It'd be a nice touch.

If you're up for a sliding crystal ball, go for it, but check out the custom hitcircles I just added for reference.

Did you do a full resubmit? I redownloaded the map and it looks like there's no change.

I made a mistake with the above circles. (I was new to skinning in October. -.-) There should be a 5px margin around the images to keep them from bulging out of sliders and to avoid being deceptive about their clickable region. Please use these instead:

Also, Hard:

01:56:35 (1,2) - Spacing. Suggesting you stack this under the slider just like the others.

Good luck with the map. Try being more aggressive in grabbing attention, in places like the chat.

Could you please fix the background image? It's distorted. I put a nice version in this zip http://up.ppy.sh/files/davidbowie-magicdance-images.rar You can take or leave my other custom skin stuff in there, since the hitcircles you have currently look great, but your current background image makes Bowie look even skinnier than usual.

Once that's done I will bubble

Edit: Done and done

Popping bubbles all around.

Easy:
02:07:70 (1,2) - these sound much better if you extend them by one 1/4 tick.
02:16:77 (1,2) - ^

Normal:
(Nazi mod) 02:09:40 (3) - This could be aligned better (tiny bit down left) (hey, if im going to pop a bubble, im going to make it worth my while)

Hard:
(Nazi Mod) 01:17:51 (3) - Could be aligned better
(Nazi Mod) 02:03:73 (3) - ^

^ Preferably by means of normalizing the mp3 instead of adjusting the volume. It stands out against all the other beatmaps in being so quiet. Something about Bowie songs.

How did I not star this? *stars*

Damn you, LH, for making such good circles!
