On 25 September 1995, David Bowie opened the door to a non-linear world of art crimes, technology and obsession with a seedy cast of characters. It was an album that baffled critics and puzzled fans.

Creative writer and music journalist Hayley Clx has featured Inside Outside on her new music blog - go take a look 👀 hayleyclx.wordpress.com/2026/09/17/a...

Alex Storer is, for me, unmistakably connected to The Light Dreams, his ongoing instrumental synthesizer project, founded in 2006 and blending electronic and ambient music into otherworldly soundsc…

Inside Outside: a deeper dive

One particular highlight when researching Inside Outside was my visit to The David Bowie Centre at the V&A Storehouse East in London. The Centre is home to Bowie’s unimaginably vast personal ar…

In 2019, I made a science fiction concept album called Mutate. I had a specific vision for how I wanted it to sound; an instrumental fusion of electronic, rock and industrial. But I was never entirely happy with the result...

Here’s a new review of Inside Outside by Rupert Loydell. Whilst he still doesn't like the album, he did enjoy the book! internationaltimes.it/lost-in-spac...

David Bowie's 1.Outside saw three single releases during its promotion period. INSIDE OUTSIDE chronicles the making of the album, the stories and creative processes behind the songs and the tour of 1995-96. Explore all this and more... amzn.eu/d/0gUtDorE

One of the fascinating things in the David Bowie Centre was seeing his handwriting change from neat to scrawl; you got an immediate sense of the urgency of capturing an idea or a lyric.

Author with book (paperback edition)

At a time when concept albums had fallen out of favour, David Bowie and Brian Eno dived into a character-driven concept piece. As well as charting the recording of 1.Outside, INSIDE OUTSIDE also explores the each of the story's characters and features illustrations by Paul Thomas. amzn.eu/d/07RfRGtN

I love the fact that people who have ordered The Shel Talmy Recordings have also bought my book at the same time. Two eras of David Bowie that couldn't be more different, and that has always been one of the many pleasures of being a fan. amzn.eu/d/01NDKbpW

One of the most heartwarming things is when somebody who has bought your book takes the time to post or send you a photograph of it. INSIDE OUTSIDE has been landing in good homes across the world, from Europe to America, the UK, Australia and even Japan! Thank you!

1.Outside by @davidbowie has a rich history and fascinating creative evolution, all of which is detailed in INSIDE OUTSIDE: Deconstructing David Bowie's Gothic Hyper-Cycle - available now! alexstorer.carrd.co

Cover Reveal... here is the artwork for LUX, an imminently forthcoming collaboration between myself and the super-talented @steveogdenart.bsky.social. The EP fuses our distinct sounds, styles and influences into a fresh sonic identity, across five tracks. We can't wait for you to hear it!

Here's a new video from Silver Puppet featuring the voice and face of Doctor Who's @sophiealdred.bsky.social with lyrics and visuals by Paul Thomas and music by myself. Welcome to Imagination Room in the weird world of SAFFRON! youtu.be/R2zVDLq6IG0?...

The readers have spoken! INSIDE OUTSIDE is the book Bowie fans have been waiting for, finally giving the Leon project and the Outside era the deep dive they deserve. INSIDE OUTSIDE is available via Amazon worldwide and signed copies are available by private sale (UK only). alexstorer.carrd.co

For years, I longed for a book that took a deep dive into David Bowie’s 1.Outside in the same way we've seen countless volumes on his 1970s albums. It almost felt like writers were afraid to embrace it. I decided it was time for such a book, and here it is. Inside Outside. amzn.eu/d/0d8TuPg7

I've always felt incredibly lucky to have seen David Bowie's Outside tour. Not only was it an amazing experience to see the mangetism of the guy live on stage, the choice of songs on that tour was superb. So many gems and rarities, some performed for the only time in his touring career.

David Bowie's 1.Outside is an album with its own archeology department - its origins are quite fascinating! INSIDE OUTSIDE: Deconstructing David Bowie's Gothic Hyper-Cycle is available everywhere on Amazon.

Review! INSIDE OUTSIDE has received it's first review, over on the Indie Sound Magazine website. Do check it out 👇👀 indie-sound.com/2026/07/20/n...
