David Bowie – Lodger (CD)

Recorded largely in Montreux and New York rather than Berlin itself, *Lodger* was the most rhythmically adventurous corner of Bowie's late-70s experimental run, drawing on world music textures and polyrhythmic structures that pointed toward the decade to come. The papersleeve packaging replicates the original Japanese pressing format, a format long prized by collectors for its tactile fidelity to the era.
