Up to track no. 7, the one of the most innovative and sonically compositionally interesting pop plates that are ever published. Bowie began the eighties just before 1977 (TW actually already 76 stationtostation.), And therefore this disc deserves absolutely the predicate masterpiece ':' Warszawa 'and' Art Decade 'as well as, Subterranean Walls' but to live more of the sounds, and of proper compositions can thereby actually do not speak, because the pieces look as if they consist only of sounds and arrangements. Obviously tried Brian Eno here to have a first his, Ambient 'visions.
But the rest is like saying simply great. Above all, SoundAndVision 'which is to be among the 10 best pop songs ever likely; the brittle and disturbing songs, Breaking Glass' and 'What in the World', where composition and sound form a symbiosis and, moreover rock the Dinger.
The most remarkable thing is that this album leaves a much more electronic feel than it actually was, because here's even enough guitars, real drums, bass and sax. It is if you like, more angular wave-pop with a high proportion of conventional pop instrumentation.
The series of albums that Bowie starting with 1984 'of Diamond Dogs to Scary Monsters in these 6 years lay, is not only one of the most innovative pop history, but is also characterized by a remarkably independent and Steiger end development.
Low was the beginning of the core trilogy that moved so much and so many inspired, and for this reason alone we must here give 5 stars - despite the aforementioned By hanger towards the end.
