In 1995 David Bowie brought us 1. Outside.
1. Outside is the best album of the 90s.
Stunningly recorded. Capturing the horror and freedom of the moment of realization that the millennium was upon us 1. Outside wraps everything that is apathy, cynicism, technology/human interdevelopment, the horror of alienation: the thrashing of castrated individual subjectivity divorced from community that produced everything from Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails and Strange Days.
1.Outside is the quintessential album of the 90s in concept and an insanely produced and recorded one at that. The spaces characters float in and the obviously technologically produced sounds and anthems of tech. reliance were the apprehension and fear of what the internet could mean. Lawnmower man, Total Recall, Robo Cop; Human>made>machine: humanity lost: 12 Monkeys, SEVEN, suicide bombers in the West Bank, David Koresh Michael Jordan VS Dennis Rodman.
This is the album that brought me to where I am today. This is the album that prompted me to throw on fishnet shirts, dresses and black nail polish NOTHING MATTERS… ITS ALL DERANGED NO CONTROL!
And it SOUNDS perfect!
Across the board every song is recorded beautifully. The layering of tone the round grittiness of digitized city grim and the majesty of clouds illuminated by sodium lights in the night.
This album is its concept. It is as perfect as technology can give us and the terror of severed humanity and the question of ethical relations at the moment your subjectivity disperses through fibre optics.
INCREDIBLE!
I mean come on you cannot do any better than “the voyeur of utter destruction (as Beauty)”. You just can’t get any better (when it comes to lines). Hearts Filthy Lesson when it comes to everything else.
