Bowie also mentioned the possibility of releasing an album called Inside which would be a making-of about Outside: "Our working method will be detailed on it, a couple of jams and more of those voices. The first monologue of Baby Grace was 15 minutes long and was very Twin Peaks." However, no such album was released.

the first single is a previously unreleased version of The Man Who Sold The World:

Pretty sure Eno did some interview around Bowie’s passing saying they were planning to do something with Outside 🤔 it was either revamp it or do a sequel

In the end Blackstar kinda took from it on some songs and in terms of aesthetic so i ain’t mad

About a year ago we started talking about ‘Outside’—the last album we worked on together. We both liked that album a lot and felt that it had fallen through the cracks. We talked about revisiting it, taking it somewhere new. I was looking forward to that.

I received an email from him seven days ago. It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: ‘Thank you for our good times, brian. they will never rot’. And it was signed ‘Dawn’.

I realise now he was saying goodbye.

Love his vocals on there, Young Americans underrated.

One of his better albums imo.

Young Americans is a classic to me, one of my favourites

It's Gonna Be Me was cut but that's a beautiful track too I think it was originally meant to be the standout on the album - wish he'd put it on over Across the Universe

Earthling has some of favourite non-classic era Bowie songs too

When the sax comes in

I think you told me about that track actually and yeah that would make it perfect.

That’s the only bad track on there.

Could be wrong but I think it came out of co-writing Fame with John Lennon and he asked him for permission while they were working on that.

Still a crazy reinvention and era.
