LP: David Bowie: Excerpts from Outside (2012)

In this highly anticipated reunion with Brian Eno (Bowie recorded his 'Berlin Trilogy' with Eno), The Long Thin Duke tells us the story of Nathan Adler, as he investigates 'The Ritual Art-Murder of Baby Grace Blue: A Non-Linear Gothic Drama Hyper-Cycle'. It's a dystopian piece, a portrayal of the end of the world, and what better time to re-release it than in the last year of the Mayan calendar? Bowie and Eno recorded the album during improvised sessions, in which Eno would hand out flashcards as a guiding light. But the light was always distorted, and would for example ask the musicians to imagine they were "the disgruntled member of a South African Rock band. Play the notes that were suppressed." The original 1995 release had a very limiteid vinyl run, and because of that this has always been a very much sought after album. Music On Vinyl is doubly proud that this is their 500th release, it also contains a beautiful 8-page booklet filled with notes from Nathan Adler's diary… 180 grams audiophile vinyl 8 page booklet 500th Music On Vinyl release! so so sp
