Description
Low is the 11th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 14 January 1977 by RCA Records. After years of drug addiction and personal instability living in Los Angeles, Bowie escaped to France in 1976 with his friend and singer Iggy Pop to become sober. After meeting musician Brian Eno the same year, Bowie began recording the first of three collaborations with Eno and producer Tony Visconti later named the “Berlin Trilogy”. Low was mostly recorded from September to November 1976, sessions beginning at the Château d’Hérouville in Hérouville, France and ending at the Hansa Tonstudios in West Berlin following Bowie and Pop’s move there. The music on Low is grounded in art-rock and experimental rock and features Bowie’s first explorations in electronic and ambient styles. It is influenced by the German music scene, particularly bands such as Tangerine Dream, Neu!, Harmonia and Kraftwerk. Side one consists primarily of short, direct avant-pop song fragments while side two consists of longer, mostly instrumental tracks. The album features a distinctive drum sound created by Visconti through the use of the Eventide H910 Harmonizer. The cover artwork, a profile of Bowie, was intended as a visual pun meaning ‘low profile’. Low has been considered ahead of its time and widely acclaimed as one of Bowie’s best works in subsequent decades. It has also been identified as heavily influential on the post-punk and post-rock genres. It has appeared on several lists of the greatest albums of all time.
