Bowie said in several interviews this year that one of the things that wants to do after the world tour is to end working the 24 hours of unreleased music that was recorded during the Outside sessions. |

1.Outside was originally conceived as a 2cd album, with a first cd featuring a symphonic/operistic work (that was actually recorded). When this first version of the album (it was called 'Leon' then) was ended all the record labels found the idea very risky/dangerous (Bowie was looking for a new label at the moment) |

Then they had to take a lot of the original material out and record some new at New York. Bad but also good because some nice tracks appeared (the title track and others). Finally, Virgin released the album, which is the longest one by Bowie (more than an hour), and the best one he did in the nineties, maybe along with 'The Buddha of Suburbia'... |

yes. What i've read in the internet is that lately, at the beggining of 2003 some stuff from those sessions surfaced... it all began with a file called out3.mp3 and some guy called essexboy. And then more and more files, and Reeves Gabrels (Bowie ex-guitarist) confirming that the files were outside outtakes.. but it all happened very fast and only a few lucky people have those files, everybody talks about them but no-one seems to share them. like some kind of special treasure... been available for download for a short period of time at bowieaudio.com, a very recommendable site full with bowie audio rarities... but they disappeared... |

I suppose that Bowie wants to release the stuff before it's too late... i've read somewhere that all this years he has kept meeting Brian Eno to navigate through those 24 hours of sound and select/edit/rework parts... rumours |

David Bowie says: "The one thing I can truly, seriously think about in the future that I would like to get my teeth into - it's just so daunting - is the rest of the work that Eno and I did when we started to do the Outside album. We did improv for 8 days, and we had something in the area of 20 hours worth of stuff that I just cannot begin to get close to listening to. But there are some absolute gems in there... after we get off the road on this tour, I might bring myself to doing it. Or I'll fail - I'll have written another album." (ICE magazine) |

Reeves Gabrels on one of the outside outtakes that surfaced: "Not only did i play on it but i co-wrote it. it is part of the larger, improvised opera that some of us (at least myself and eno) feel "outside" should have been ... It was under 4 hours in its pre edited state. and it didn't get longer after it was mixed. the track is from after the mix sessions at westside studios in london in the summer of '94. the band was db, eno, mike garson, erdal kizilcay, sterling cambell and myself. that piece is an excerpt from the larger 3 hour + plus improvised opus we created in late march /early april '94. we hoped that it would have come out intact and uncompromised by financial/ comercial pressures. it would have been a very serious musical statement (and maybe even pissed more people off than tin machine). instead it was chopped up and used as short character pieces on "outside". it's easy to tell which songs those are on outside by reading the songwriting credits.(any song on that cd with 5 writers or more came from group improvisation). gary oldman and i used to comiserate on how your best stuff.... your most real and honest work seems to be what ends up on the cutting room floor. uh huh. we ended up recording 4 more commercial "songs" in nyc with a different band (carlos, yossi fine, joey baron and myself). ah, compromise...'' |
