I freakin love it when a song that you haven’t listened to in years, and that you liked, but wasn’t a “favorite” comes on. . .and suddenly it’s like the first time you’ve heard it, and you can’t listen to it enough!![/font]
Granted, this is usually a single or “popular” song liked by people who like or own limited material of the artists catalogue so I distance myself from being sick of hearing it and the faux-fans. . .[/font]
But I’ve been listening and/or watching this video non-stop for the past two days. . . [/font]
I used to like the video way more than the song, and it’s one of all time favorites. Now admittedly, on the surface this video may look like art-deco-nonsense. . . However, note the large word OUTSIDE. This is second song on The Outside album, which is a concept album about Leon and Ramona A Stone (referenced in the song), who are serial killers that make “modern art” from the body parts of their victims . . . Now it makes (partial) sense[/font]
A lot of people dismiss this as “Bowie trying to be cool again”. Oh nonono. Bowie was one of the pioneers of electronic music when he teamed up with Eno for Low, Heros, and Lodger where he started pushing Moogs and Arps to the limit, and brought in Fripp who is more machine than man anyway [/font]
20some years later, he now had the tech, the genre improved, and he brought Garson back in to simulate a great man v machine battle . . . Hehehehe [/font]
