Album Project Update! I have listened to this album quite a few times and would like to listen to it more, but I have to get to the end of the Bowie albums at some point, can't afford to get stuck. But I think I'm beginning to understand what's going on. I have no idea how you'd get it if you'd downloaded it and didn't even have the album sleeve. The album is 'Outside' (1995), subtitled 'The Ritual Art-Murder of Baby Grace Blue: A Non-Linear Gothic Drama Hyper-Cycle". It's a mad concept album! Brilliant! It's the story of Nathan Adler, who's investigating the murder of Baby Grace. If I had the time I would type out the liner notes, but that would take a while. Basically it's about murders committed as 'art'. It's really weird. And it has come great songs on it, like 'The Heart's Filthy Lesson' and 'Hallo Spaceboy'. It's all a bit Nine Inch Nails, which is interesting as according to Wikipedia Bowie had NIN as his tour partner for the 'Outside' tour. I guess NIN was influenced more by Bowie than I'd thought. Not that I've thought about it before. It probably explains why I like Bowie and NIN though..! Probably one of my favourite Bowie albums so far in the Project, if not my favourite.
