Outland is the tenth solo studio album by the English musician Gary Numan, released in March 1991.
The album features many vocal samples from notable sci-fi/action movies of the 1980s, including Blade Runner, The Terminator, Aliens and Predator (the title of Outland itself may be a reference to the 1981 science fiction film of the same name).
Of the album, Numan recalled: The American producers Jam and Lewis were a big influence on Outland.
I thought their grooves were extremely clever...Perhaps I should've taken the percussion thing and added something else to it, but my songwriting followed the black funk/dance/rock style as well.
Being so involved, and responsible, for virtually every aspect of it, from writing to production to engineering, I felt it was a very personal record.
