David bowie low vinyl review.

Low is as amazing an album as ever and just to have a vinyl of it is awesome. I love low for so many reasons. All three of these albums were collaborations with composer. Part of a trilogy heroes and lodger being the other two this was the beginning of his big brian eno collaboration and i think it is very much it s own thing entirely from the rest of his career.

It s cool its enigmatic it s experimental its everything bowie was. Low was a 1977 breakthrough album by david bowie which contained avant garde tracks rich with experimental synthesizers and unique compositional approaches the album was co produced by bowie and tony visconti and is considered the first of bowie s berlin trilogy along with heroes later in 1977 and lodger in 1979. Best buy series format. Vinyl lp album reissue country.

Some purists get upset with the notion of remasters and reissues and often with good reason but this reissue of low is brilliant. In light of david bowie s passing pitchfork commissioned reviews of several of his classic albums compared to its predecessors david bowie s 11th studio album is noticeably reserved. Low might be bowie s best album. Driven by dissonant synthesizers and electronics low is divided between brief angular songs and atmospheric instrumentals.

And this tony visconti remastered reissue sounds better than the original. Electronic rock style. Side one is the meat and potatoes if you like bowie this is the easier side to dance drive groove to. Definitely a departure from bowie s early work as he was struggling with addiction and working exclusively in west berlin.

Bowie embraced a lot of the new age jazz scene and brought out his saxophone on a few tracks including the pop tingling sound and vision carlos alomar and brian eno heavily influenced the compositions and low represents bowie as the ever struggling artist trying to leave.
