Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting with Brian Eno, David Bowie crafted 'Outside', a sprawling, heavily convoluted industrial art-rock concept album. Set in a dystopian, futuristic landscape, the record follows a nonlinear science-fiction crime narrative heavily driven by dense, mysterious, and highly experimental electronic textures.
