An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

This track finds David Bowie at the other end of his catalogue, in the late 1990s.

I'd never heard this until last year and knowing he went through many musical changes during his life, some more popular than others, see what you make of this. It's different yet infectious !

Written by Bowie and Brian Eno it went through various revisions before emerging in 1997 on the 'Earthling' album and as a maxi-single release. A techno (or industrial) track, it presents a critique of America through the eyes of a stereotypical "Johnny" and is a mix of drum patterns, synthesizers, various loops and vocal distortions.

See what you make of "I'm Afraid of Americans" >
