Todays record pool rewind heads back to 1996. Virgin provided the pool with a promotional 12 of David Bowies Hallo Spaceboy. Mixes were provided by The Pet Shop Boys and David Ball. The album Outside was Bowies reunion with Brian Eno. Bowie commented on the album: Perhaps the one through-line between some of the stuff in Outside and the coming millennium is this new Pagan worship, this whole search for a new spiritual life thats going on. Because of the way weve demolished the idea of God with that triumvirate at the beginning of the century, Nietzsche, Einstein, and Freud. They really demolished everything we believed. Time bends, God is dead, the inner-self is made of many personalities. I wonder if we have realized that the only thing we could create as God was the hydrogen bomb and that the fall-out from the realization that as gods we can only seem to produce disaster is people trying to find some spiritual bonding and universality with a real nurtured inner-life. But there is also this positivism that you find now which really wasnt there at the end of the last century. While many have heard the Pet Shop Boys remix and it helped propel the single into the pool top 10, the mix which rated most favourably was the Lost In Space Mix by Dave Ball.
