Not really new information (not sure about the song titles though) since Ratty mentioned this around the time Bowie died. Paraphrasing him, they're not properly mixed recordings but they're otherwise substantial. Brian confirmed it afterwards as well.
Supposedly, another mostly complete song with Bowie would be "I Don't Want To Be A Rolling Stone", which eventually became "I Go Crazy".

It's news to me. Would love to hear them jamming to I Feel Free.

Another info from Italian FB fanpage is that in the issue of Recor Collector Magazine, which was probably the whole source fron the article above, Roger said he is planning to release new solo album during 2021.

Put together his various one-offs over the last couple of years and you'd have half an album - much like Brian's last album.

I really hope that this won't be this case... you'll need much more than "hope" alone for this NOT to be the case, a fair wind and bucketloads of luck may still not prevent this being the case. |

I love Roger, but his last couple of single solo releases have been uninteresting.

Yeah, I actually quite like Journey's End. Gorgeous melody and very atmospheric. The video soars as well.

There's no chance it won't be. Also like Roger's last album. We'll get: Isolation, Journey's End, Gangsters Are Running This World (x2 versions), Shores of Formentera on it almost for sure which will leave space for about 5 new tracks or so....one of which I'd bet is Absolutely Anything (the snippet that appears in the movie) And Journey's End might be my favorite solo piece by any of the band in the past 20 years. |

I guess Journey's End is also one of the considered name of the album, the question is wheter there will be an abridged version like Unblinking Eye on FOE. I doubt Shores of Formentera will be included, just if RT came up with more lyrics. That's Football with Peter Cech is another song from the last year which I think won't make into the album. As well as Absolutely Anything, maybe for the legal reasons (just guessing it would require too much effort). Isolation will be probably part of it and Gangsters...maybe, but two songs of the same nami included in one album? Maybe he would do it like ITLOTG and revisited version - one version in the middle and one as ending song... |

I never thought One Night Stand was going to be revisited after being the bonus for Electric Fire. I think Absolutely Anything wouldn't have much legal entanglement. It's Roger's song. They would have licensed it it from him. And as Gangsters are separated I wouldn't be surprised at all. I agree that That's Football won't make it most likely. |

No, Journey's End was a wonderful spreading of artistic wings for Roger. I should have flagged that. Gangsters, Isolation.... i feel like there was one other song, but neither of the two mentioned moved my needle. I am going to go back and re-listen - maybe I was just having a bad day. |
