I managed to pick up this album the other day, and was wondering if it is his latest one? I'm a bit of a lazy bastard but I did manage to check Amazon to see if there was any mention of it there but there wasn't. Has anyone heard this album.... from what I have heard so far it is pretty good.

Nope, it's from the beginning of the 90's, but it was re-released recently with a bonus CD (as well as Ziggy, Aladdin Sane and some others).

In fact I don't have it... My latest Bowie purchase was Low and I have to say it beats even Scary Monsters as the best Bowie album ever.
The new record is called Reality. One of the songs is used in a (very nice) ad for bottled water in France, and it doesn't sound particularly great, but it's hard to tell from such a short sample.

'Reality' according to DB is abit 'thrusty'! And it features two cover versions - 'Buy Some, Try Some' by George Harrison and Jonathan Richman's ' Pablo Picasso'. All the signs are that this is going to be a good album.

hi stuart. i do have BTWN - and denis is correct - it was released just when bowie got married (early 90s). however - it has just been reissued with a bonus CD so thats probably what you saw. the album itself is pretty good - maybe not as good as his 70s material - but there certainly are some great songs on there. as for Low - words cant describe how good that album is. stuart - you need that album fella! its great.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.

Cheers Bazza, I'll be sure to get my friends to bring that one over. The Bowie albums that I have are:
Live at the BBC + live disc
Singles Collection
BTWN
Outside
Obviously he has released shitloads, but if I was going to buy three Bowie albums, which ones would you recommend (as I don't know which are great and which are not). Bare in mind this list will be sent to my friends before they come over.

My take:
Ziggy Stardust (great album to play loud)
Space Oddity
Diamond Dogs
Lou Reed's Transformer
Iggy Pop's Lust for Life
