NEVER LET ME DOWN (2018)’, a new production of the 1987 album. The seeds of this reimagining of the  album were first sown in 2008 when David asked Mario McNulty to remix the track ‘Time Will Crawl’ and  record new drums by longtime Bowie drummer, Sterling Campbell, along with strings. The track was issued  on the iSelect compilation to much acclaim, and in the notes, for that record, David remarked ‘Oh, to redo  the rest of that album’. Fast-forward to early 2018 McNulty entered Electric Lady Studios in New York with  Sterling, Tim Lefebvre on bass, who was in the ★ (“Blackstar") band and Reeves Gabrels and David Torn  on guitars. All of the musicians had a history with David, so were a perfect fit for what now sound like brand  new songs. Nico Muhly, whom Mario first met when they were both interns working for Philip Glass in 2001,  has handled the string arrangements.
The re-workings have revealed ‘Never Let Me Down’ as a very strong collection of songs with a dark thematic  thread running through them. Fans listening to ‘NEVER LET ME DOWN (2018)’ would be forgiven for thinking  that they were listening to a brand new ‘lost’ Bowie record. This 2018 version of the album will also feature newly  'remixed' artwork reflecting the album’s subject matter and features unseen images from the original cover  photographic session from the archive of Greg Gorman.
