And another Album Project Update... 'Scary Monsters' (1980). This album's likely to have some songs you've heard on it, most notably 'Ashes to Ashes' and 'Fashion'. It definitely has a more commercial sound to it, appealing to a wider audience. It's still not my favourite though! 'Ashes to Ashes', of course, references Major Tom from 'Space Oddity' (1969). There are some bleak lyrics on this album. Probably sounds a lot more cheerful if you listen to it without thought rather than if you listen to it carefully...
