Sad sound of the divided city of Berlin in 1976

Low (Audio CD)

Customer Review

David Bowie made 3 experimental - influenced by Kraftwerk albums:
- "Station to Station" is it the most accessible
- "Heroes" most successful, technically excellent.
- And "low"? There is hardly a world-famous music artist that sounds so depressing as "low". The record company RCA was so appalled when listening, that they took the product only times of the Christmas sales in 1976.
The first side of the LP sounds deliberately fragmentary
- "Sound and Vision" was a successful single. Despite the indolent text describing a soulless electrified blue room in which the protagonist is trapped.
- "A New Career in a New Town" and "Always Crashing convey the feeling of claustrophobia, paranoia and mood nadir years of consumption white powder Groomed guitars as a counterpart to Punk, juvenile future fears, visions of a soulless world by overpowering technology, youth unemployment..
- "Braking Glass": monotonous repetitive text. Passive observed frigidity, which has already given up hope and a psychopathic girl, both of which can never meet and remain lonely, recalls Sartre's existentialism.
The second side of the LP is purely instrumental (Eno)
- Warzawawa's sad how majestic. At that time, Bowie opened his concerts with this cinematographic electronics track. It is believed to be located in a gray war ruined landscape of Warsaw, leaden dejection is explained by Bowie to art.
- "Art Decade", more bubbling synth levels as Berlin incalculable underground tunnels / bunkers - Underworld.
- "Weeping Wall" and "Subterreans" are a touch-friendly, which is to say not much. Cold technical sounds versus xylophone or a lone saxophone.
With "Low" to meet David Bowie desolate personal condition (addiction, impending divorce, turning to misanthropic fascist theories, etc.) with the doldrums of the seventies youth scene. You can love this record impossible might understand a little when you were a teenager at the time. Welch almost demonic hopelessness associated with a seemingly inescapable mechanism to try to stay with relish-self-pitying in this ... terrible.
As is known, David Bowie has passed its lowest point. In 1977 he got to do with the fear it after the death of his school friend Marc Bolan. David took the first steps to the top and discovered his love for new life. "Heroes" already sounded an entire track friendly than "Low".
Those who want to delight in Mitsiebziger Youth Depression: power plant "Man Machine" (mannequins), the debut of "Television", "Devo" and "Ultravox", "No More Heroes" from the Stranglers, Patti Smith "Horses" and Bowie's " Heroes "may also order.
