'The Buddha of Suburia' by David Bowie. I had the original and really dug it. Really nice remaster that really adds to the box.

The Buddha of Suburbia is the 19th studio album[a] by English musician David Bowie. It was originally released on 8 November 1993 by Arista Records in the UK and Europe. The project originated following an interview between Bowie and novelist Hanif Kureishi during a press tour for Black Tie White Noise (1993), where Bowie agreed to compose music for an upcoming adapation of Kureishi's 1990 novel The Buddha of Suburbia. After making basic tracks, Bowie decided to turn the project into a full album. Recording took place at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland and was completed in six days. Bowie primarily collaborated with Turkish musician Erdal Kızılçay, while pianist Mike Garson contributed overdubs.

The music on The Buddha of Suburbia primarily consists of numerous motifs created using various instruments.
The pieces contain references to his late-1970s works throughout. Commentators have noted the presence of rock, pop, ambient, jazz and experimental themes throughout. The music itself bears little resemblance to the music of the BBC serial; only the title track featured in the programme. Aside from three instrumentals, the lyrics are non-linear, which Bowie utilised as a way to reduce narrative form.

Initially marketed as a soundtrack album, The Buddha of Suburbia flopped and received little promotion from Bowie himself, despite receiving positive reviews from British critics. It wasn't released in the US until October 1995 by Virgin Records with updated artwork. It fell back into obscurity until a worldwide reissue by EMI in 2007, although it still remains one of Bowie's least-known works. Nevertheless, Bowie's biographers and other reviewers have praised The Buddha of Suburbia as a forgotten gem in his catalogue. A remastered version was released in 2021 as part of the box set Brilliant Adventure (1992–2001).

Anybody else have a cat that loves water? Elmore has been drinking from the sink (or tub) since a few weeks after I got him. He's such a little weirdo he's jumped in the shower with me 2 times so far.:rflmao:

I had a cat like that when I was a kid. He would only drink from the running faucet. When he got old I would have to lift him up and put him on the sink to drink because he couldn't jump anymore.
