That album was the Bowie\/Tony Visconti produced\u003cem\u003e Low\u003c\/em\u003e and it was followed later the same year by \u003cem\u003eHeroes\u003c\/em\u003e with the trilogy completed in 1979 by the arrival of \u003cem\u003eLodger\u003c\/em\u003e. Most of the music across the three albums wasn't even recorded in Berlin, the unifying factor actually being Bowie, Visconti and Brian Eno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch has been written about the brilliance and braveness of the music on \u003cem\u003eLow\u003c\/em\u003e, and rightly so. It's probably hard to imagine with the ears of today how absolutely unique the record sounded back in 1977. Apart from the obvious slicing of the album into two distinct sides, Visconti gifted \u003cem\u003eLow\u003c\/em\u003e that distinctive drum sound, among other things. Though\u003cem\u003e Low\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was a record purportedly informed by the likes of Kraftwerk and other German musicians of the time, it actually sounded far more organic and not at all mechanized. This was in no small measure due to the nucleus of the band Bowie had favored during this whole period (starting with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eStation To Station\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCarlos Alomar (guitar), Dennis Davis (drums) and George Murray (bass).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was a commercial success, peaking at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 11 on the US Billboard Pop Albums chart. \"Sound and Vision\" and \"Be My Wife\" were released as singles; the former reaching No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart.\u003cem\u003e Low\u003c\/em\u003e sounds as fresh today as it ever did...thirty nine minutes of untouchable genius. Prepare to be transported by its gloriously uplifting melancholia and majestic musical language from a time and place that has yet to arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed Of Life\u003cbr\u003eBreaking Glass\u003cbr\u003eWhat In The World\u003cbr\u003eSound And Vision\u003cbr\u003eAlways Crashing In The Same Car\u003cbr\u003eBe My Wife\u003cbr\u003eA New Career In A New Town\u003cbr\u003eWarszawa\u003cbr\u003eArt Decade\u003cbr\u003eWeeping Wall\u003cbr\u003eSubterraneans\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"33 1\/3 Record Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42155587436718,"sku":"190296726798","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/products\/bowieloworange.jpg?v=1643753697","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/david-bowie-low-180g-ltd-ed-orange-vinyl-45th-anniversary-edition-indie-exclusive","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
