The David Bowie - Starman Album Of The Week! Heroes (1977) Sense of Doubt is an instrumental piece written by David Bowie in 1977 for the album Heroes. It was the first of three instrumentals on Side Two of the original vinyl album that segued into one another, preceding Moss Garden and Neuköln. Cited as portentous and thoroughly foreboding, Sense of Doubt is one of the darker tracks of the album, with a descending four-note piano motif juxtaposed with an eerie synth line like a scrap of sound from a silent expressionist-era soundtrack. Brian Eno suggested that the contrasting themes were the result of him and Bowie each following an Oblique Strategies card to guide them in the tracks overdubbing, Enos directing him to make everything as similar as possible and Bowies to emphasize differences. Sense of Doubt was performed on the Italian TV programme L’Altra Domenica in 1977 and throughout the Heroes tour in 1978. A spring 1978 performance from the Heroes tour can be heard on Stage.
