1. Outside introduced the characters of one of Bowie's short stories; a "non-linear gothic drama hyper cycle" called the "Diaries of Nathan Adler." It was Bowie's most complicated and frightening concept album yet. The album pamphlet outlined the story of a somewhat sci-fi version of the year 1999, in which the British government had created a new bureau to investigate a new phenomenon called Art Crime. In this future, murder and mutilation of bodies had become a new underground art craze. The main character, Nathan Adler, was in the business of deciding what of this was legally acceptable as art and what was, in a word, trash. The album is filled with odd references to characters and their lives as he investigates the complicated events leading up to the murder of a fourteen-year-old girl.
