Brilliant Adventure (1992–2001)

Brilliant Adventure (1992–2001) refers to a period in the musical career of British artist David Bowie. It is generally recognized as spanning from the release of the album Black Tie White Noise in 1993 to the release of the album Heathen in 2002, though the title refers to the years 1992-2001. This era is often characterized by Bowie's experimental and diverse musical explorations, encompassing genres such as jazz, drum and bass, electronica, and alternative rock.

The "Brilliant Adventure" era followed Bowie's more commercially focused late 1980s and early 1990s period. It saw Bowie moving away from mainstream pop and exploring more challenging and artistically driven projects. Key albums released during this time, in addition to Black Tie White Noise and Heathen, include Outside (1995), Earthling (1997), and 'hours...' (1999).

Critical and commercial reception during the "Brilliant Adventure" era was varied. While some albums were well-received, others were met with mixed reviews. Nevertheless, this period is now often viewed as a significant and creatively fertile phase in Bowie's career, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to artistic innovation and his willingness to experiment with new musical styles and concepts. The "Brilliant Adventure" box set, released posthumously, further cemented this period's importance in Bowie's overall discography.
