David bowie low vinyl review.

Vinyl lp album reissue country. The fan club insert of the uk edition uses a different font where catalogue numbers differ from the us numbers the uk spine copies the us spine and adds additional information. Definitely a departure from bowie s early work as he was struggling with addiction and working exclusively in west berlin. Some purists get upset with the notion of remasters and reissues and often with good reason but this reissue of low is brilliant.

Driven by dissonant synthesizers and electronics low is divided between brief angular songs and atmospheric instrumentals. Top 3 for sure. Low might be bowie s best album. Rca ayl1 3856 series.

Part of a trilogy heroes and lodger being the other two this was the beginning of his big brian eno collaboration and i think it is very much it s own thing entirely from the rest of his career. In light of david bowie s passing pitchfork commissioned reviews of several of his classic albums compared to its predecessors david bowie s 11th studio album is noticeably reserved. Throughout the record s first half the guitars are jagged and. All three of these albums were collaborations with composer.

And this tony visconti remastered reissue sounds better than the original. Low is as amazing an album as ever and just to have a vinyl of it is awesome. Best buy series format. The uk first edition david bowie low has a cover that uses a modified version of the us cover the catalogue present in the top rh front corner of the us cover has been masked over artifacts are visible.

I love low for so many reasons. Electronic rock style. Following through with the avant garde inclinations of station to station yet explicitly breaking with david bowie s past low is a dense challenging album that confirmed his place at rock s cutting edge. Bowie embraced a lot of the new age jazz scene and brought out his saxophone on a few tracks including the pop tingling sound and vision carlos alomar and brian eno heavily influenced the compositions and low represents bowie as the ever struggling artist trying to leave.

It s cool its enigmatic it s experimental its everything bowie was.
