The ever-creative David Bowie will be releasing his new album "Heathen" which will hit stores June 11. According to this Billboard article, both Pete Townshend and Dave Grohl have contributed stuff to it. Bowie went pretty soggy through the 80s but from somewhere around the release of "Black Tie White Noise" he's been back in experimental mode. I even enjoyed the more lowkey "hours..." (did I put the dots in the right place there?).
Reviews: Rolling Stone - Billboard

Don't forget _Outside_ - that was the one that (for better or worse) made me finally go and buy a couple of his albums...
If Outside didn't have the spoken interludes and trimmed a few of the weaker tracks, it would probably be considered one of the truly great albums of the 90s. I dug it out a few days ago and was surprised at how solid it is. I love "Strangers When We Meet" particularly, it was well worth him re-recording.
I'm a huge fan of his since 1987, his the greatest living artist next to Lynch, and the spoken interludes are something closest to me, I would like to have them more.
