David Bowie – Low (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Side two's largely instrumental landscapes, built around Brian Eno's synthesizer treatments and Visconti's innovative use of the Harmonizer on Bowie's vocals, pointed rock music toward a future it hadn't imagined yet. Released the same month Elvis Presley died and punk was breaking wide open, Low landed as something else entirely, a record absorbed in texture and interior space rather than performance. Its influence runs straight through post-punk, ambient, and electronic music to this day.
Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Low is the eleventh studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on RCA Records in January 1977. Recorded following Bowie's move to West Berlin after a period of drug addiction and personal instability, Low became the first of three collaborations with musician Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti, later termed the Berlin Trilogy. The album was in fact recorded largely in France, and marked a shift in Bowie's musical style toward an electronic and avant-garde approach that would be further explored on subsequent albums Heroes (1977) and Lodger (1979). Though it was initially met with mixed critical reviews, Low has since become widely acclaimed as one of Bowie's best and most influential works.
