The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

I do like the Bowie one which has been posted before by some kind soul.
You get the impression that Bowie has no idea who Eldo is and after Bowie spends several minutes slagging off all eighties music there is no way Eldo is going to think much of "Outside" and goes wittering on that if it is not better than your previous best why bother.
Was Vision Thing the best ever that is why Eldo doesnt make any more albums????
Personally I think "Outside" is brilliant and it's a shame Bowie didn't complete the trilogy. Maybe he was put off by Eldo!!

Agree about Outside. Getting influenced by Trent Reznor was the best thing to happen to Bowie for ten years. You can sense
's awe in interviewing his idol too - never an easy thing to do. gives Bowie a heck of a time by pitting Outside against Heroes and Low, which is basically countering the man with his own legacy. It's a rather safe and impersonal way for him to challenge Bowie, and it works out rather well, as Bowie gets into rather fine discussion about history disappearing, which seems to tickle to no end.Besides his album being what it is in comparison to his previous collaborations with Eno, Bowie comes out as a strong and original thinker in the interview, and I have to smirk at the notion that Trent Reznor actually expanded on the some of the Outside topics more efficiently with the concept album Year Zero over a decade later.

One of the most interesting things re and Bowie is that it took him thirty years to cover one of the great man's songs, despite being such an obvious fan of his vocal stylings since day one (albeit in a different octave). Peter Murphy spent three years denying copying Bowie vocally then put out a carbon copy cover of ziggy stardust. Will we ever see a version of Starman ?
