经过两年的重新调整,David再次和老友Brian Eno合作,于1995年发行了概念专辑《1.Outside》。这张专辑不仅仅是受欢迎这样简单,更为重要的一点是,David终于在迷失了十年之后回 到个人的精彩之中。尽管他的风格并非回到了七十年代初,但是他的音乐中终于重新拥有了自我。
这是一张阴冷和怪的专辑,关于谋杀案的故事, David改变了温和形象,头发和胡子凌乱,MTV里的扮相看上去有如《搏击俱乐部》中的Brad Pitt。配乐是混乱和喧嚣的,Eno再次显示了自己高超的驾御电子音乐的能力。其中的《Hallo Spaceboy》尤为出色完美。
Outside is a concept album first released 26 September 1995 by David Bowie on Virgin Records, and Bowie's nineteenth studio album. The album was Bowie's reunion with Brian Eno, whom Bowie had worked with most famously on his Berlin Trilogy in the 1970s. Subtitled "the Ritual Art-Murder of Baby Grace Blue: A non-linear Gothic Drama Hyper-Cycle," Outside centres around the characters of a dystopian world on the eve of the 21st century. The album put Bowie back into the mainstream scene of rock music with its singles "The Hearts Filthy Lesson", "Strangers When We Meet", and "Hallo Spaceboy" (remixed by Pet Shop Boys).
