"Heroes": Berlin, Part 2

The harsh sound of the record was created because the pre-production recordings were used. The reason was that Bowie and Eno some sounds could not reproduce because they no longer remembered how they were created. This had nothing to do with Bowie's former alcohol problems.

With the title track Bowie did a perfect pop song - who but John Lennon can say the same - a great hymn, performed with incredible passion. The other pieces of the first page appear sketchy, unfinished, as strange pop mosaics.

The ambient music of the second side painted eerily beautiful soundscapes, in the strongest moments she puts the listener in comforting shudder. Here is a real Weiterentwiccklung determine since "Low", the ambient tracks work much more sophisticated than its predecessor.

Instead of letting the plate like finish "Low" with ambient sounds, Bowie surprise the listener with "Secret Life Of Arabia" that breaks with the gloomy mood of the record, and with its oriental sounds on the follow-up album "Lodger" indicates ,

Conclusion: Taken together with "low" - because both albums belong together - Bowie's biggest union. A milestone.
