Album Notes Personnel: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, saxophone, keyboards); Reeves Gabrels, Carlos Alomar, Tom Frish, Kevin Armstrong (guitar); Mike Garson (piano); Erdal Kizilcay (keyboards, bass); Brian Eno (synthesizer); Yossi Fine (bass); Sterling Campbell, Joey Baron (drums); Bryony, Lola, Josey, Ruby Edwards (background vocals).Recorded at Mountain Studios, Switzerland.In the cyber-drenched 1990s, David Bowie once again proves himself ahead of the game. OUTSIDE is more a monumental collage of techno-war coldness than a mere album. Bowie combines the most essential pieces of each of his previous personas and musical styles to make OUTSIDE into an all-too-dense song-cycle with a story-line. Sound-wise, it is a closer musical approximation of "industrial" noise than the throbbing tones created by most young guns half his age.OUTSIDE begins with the premise that the action is taking place here and now ("not tomorrow"), in a fading industrial town in New Jersey, circa 1995. A place that is littered with characters facing inhuman desperation as "rejects from the world-wide internet," making plans to "lease the moon" above their shop. Musically, Bowie reaches for the same densely evocative landscapes that make OUTSIDE's themes so disconcertingly real. A perverse mish-mash of booming classical piano trills loop in and out of machine-like drums and Bowie's schizophrenic monologues. Through the different characters we see the horrible truths of our dying culture--romance, for instance, is brought down with the admission, "if there was only something between us...besides our clothes." OUTSIDE is happening right now, right here.

Reviews  ENO BACK THE GENIUS BACKReview created: 25/02/08 by:  Like a lot of early Bowie fans I gave up in dispair of him ever making another great album after Scarey monsters until the arrival of his most recent albums Heathen and Reality. But what I had missed during this long period of average pop and bland rock is this album Outside and what a surprise. This is probably his most adventurous and imaginative album to date, you may need to play it through about five times to get used to some of the stanger material, but it will be worth it as it is as adictive, I have played Outside at least fifty time and still injoy it. As with Bowies other great albums it does not fit in to any one particular catigory, but you may find the odd reminders from the previous three Bowie/Brian Eno collaborations, although this time the mood is darker and more mysterious. There are still the great Bowie hook songs interlaced with the increadable sound that only Brian Eno seems to know how to make. My view is that working with such notables as Brian Eno and Tony Visconti inspires the genius and the desire to make great music. This definatly one to go with the collection of brilliant Bowie albums. Review ID: 10000000005796507 Was this review helpful?

Report this review  Good titleReview created: 08/06/07 by: I think that Bowie was literally 'outside the norm' when recording this album, he was experimenting with a lot of different and strange character voice techniques. Album took a little time to appreciate as instantly liked 'Hours' which have also just purchased from ebay. However the title track is excellent and enjoying album and recommend to those Bowie fans who were with him in the 70's and 80's and had a little break from his music ... get listening to his more recent releases they are brilliant he is a very talented man who has moved with the times and kept a core fan base with excellent taste and a tinge of humour of course! Review ID: 10000000003768288 Was this review helpful? Report this review David Bowie - 1. OutsideReview created: 03/03/07 by: This is Bowie at his experimental and conceptual best. Its a sleazy futuristic sci-fi record that brings Brian Eno back and has many of the songs credited to the whole band. Ignore the weedy limp-arsed Pet Shop Boys mix of Hallo Spaceboy, the album version here thunders along. There's plenty of technology used here, but it still has a rock edge thanks to Reeves Gabrels brilliant guitar work. Bowie also mess's with his vocals again as he did on After All (The Man Who Sold The World album)and a great number of other songs (we don't mention The Lauging Gnome). Its a long album, but give it 6 full listens and you'll be hooked. Review ID: 10000000003058018 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
