tracks from the "it's my life" tour were released on the july 1992 album "". the album did not sell well and there was speculation that the failure of this album to achieve commercial success was among the reasons that the band ultimately broke up. as early as 1990, bowie knew he'd be going back to solo work, although not because he disliked working with the band. he said "i have very definite ideas of what i want to do as a solo artist, which i'll be starting on probably late next year [1991], again completely different, hopefully, from what i've done before." shortly after the release of "oy vey, baby", bowie returned to solo recording with his single "real cool world", but he maintained intentions to return to the studio with tin machine in 1993 for a third album. these plans would fail to come to fruition, however, and the band shortly thereafter dissolved. there were allegations that hunt sales' growing drug addiction were responsible for the band's end, but of tin machine's dissolution, bowie merely said "personal problems within the band became the reason for its demise. it’s not for me to talk about them, but it became physically impossible for us to carry on. and that was pretty sad really."
