There are better sings on this album:

Outside
Hello Spaceboy
Strangers when we meet
I'm deranged

We need more songs from this album. Especially I'm deranged - it was used in Lost Highway - is a gem.

I enjoyed this album. Seems to me this was supposed to be Part 1 of a trilogy, which never materialized. But there is some great stuff on this album.

Truly a very innovative and exceptional album from Bowie - a bit too innovative for many fans and critics I think, given how hammered it got in the reviews. I suggest the exceptional musical tastes of RP fans check it out in more depth!

Yes, to quote a source:

The wonderful use of the David Bowie / Brian Eno song ("But I Have Not Been To Oxfordtown"), as modified (with permission - so why isn’t it on the the “last night of their lives” high school dance, just before everyone we've met goes off to take their Oath of Service

I don't know why he's complaining about not having been to Oxford town. With all the money he's made in the music business over the years, you'd think he could afford the plane tickets and the hotel. You wanna go there, David—just go!

This is my favorite Bowie song, and I think I've only ever heard it on RP (this was the first place I heard it, in fact.) I find that a lot of Bowie grates on my nerves, but this has more subtlety and art to it than so many of his more popular songs.

Got to admit, I far prefer that version. Seems to have more pop sensibilities applied to it ...

"We Prick You", from this CD, seems to stand the best on it's own.

I would have said Hallo Spaceb oy or The Voyeur of Utter Destruction .
