That whole Earthling album is fantastic. Weirdly it's the first Bowie album I bought.

Same here. Bowie had a weird thing for jumping on various trends over the decades, but sometimes he ended up with an era I liked and produced bangers.

Outside was an outstanding concept album released prior to Earthling, with a great outro song for the movie Seven. Hours and Heathen were both good albums around that time, too.

Outside is in my top 5. It really holds up.

Dead Man Walking is amazing. The whole album is still good today.

The accoustic version of Dead Man Walking with just Bowie and Reeves Gabrels is probably one of my all time favourites.

I will check that out, thanks for the recommended!

I remember seeing dead man walking on I think top of the pops, it was freaking amazing.

And the first time I heard Little Wonder on MTV2 I just stopped and watched, then knew I had to have that CD.

Also: "shaking their sex and their bones, and the boys that they were"

And "I don't want knowledge; I want certainty!"

Here's the Piped link with the video and a creepy Trent/Johnny.

I love that phase of Bowie. The Earthling’s "Look at the Moon!" tour had this amazing cover of Laurie Andersen’s O Superman.
