Yummy cd... really nice straight through, however the instrumentals at the end, tracks 7 - 11, are pretty excellent! I especially love track 7, New Career in a New Town... Mmmm... almost makes me cry, yet it's an uplifting kind of crying... good stuff! it's a pretty strange album, but still pretty catchy... |

i was standing with it in my hand just yesterday, only 9,99 in the free record shop in the station but i got to depressed to buy it, because last week i had this perfect stack of 7 cd's, and found out i couldnt afford it, this week i couldnt find all the cd's anymore and still think i shouldnt buy them it was, if i remember right, this one, town to town by bowie, blur, perfect circle, jeff buckley and 2 placebo's (no idea which one was better, as with bowie) so i like intrumentals that make me cry, so i guess i'll buy this cd? |

town to town = station to station ? i got that one, i like it. thinking of getting 'low' too :) |

well this is about half instrumentals... I want to get Scary Monsters next... I love the song Ashes to Ashes! |
||||||||

I'm not that keen on the songs on Low, but the instrumentals are absolutely fantastic, which I found surprising. Great album. |

I thought though that Brian Eno was the producer of these Berlin albums... but he's not... |

maybe it's too late for me to start with bowie, it is just songs, right? i think on getting the michael jackson albums with billy jean, which isnt off the wall apparantly, probs thriller, and smooth criminal one day, thought that up whilst latest daft punk |

I prefer the work he did with tin machine. Low was too artsy fartsy for me. Not enough guitar. |

low and heroes are a good back2back listen for me. |

Why does nobody love Lodger? That's my favorite of those albums, I can live without the instrumentals. |

Lodger is my favorite bowie album as well.... |

i'm really glad you finally bought a bowie album and that you made such a great first choice. what do you think of "subterraneans", "art decade", and "warszawa"? brian eno played a big part on this album, especially these tracks, as you rightly suspected. |

Low is my favorite Bowie album I was fortunate enough to get to see Bowie and Trent Reznor do a duet of Subterraneans when they toured together in 1996. it was fucking awsome. Trent played the saxaphone. |

Great album. |

well I knew he was involved... but I thought as producer... but he's not, Tony Visconte or someone is... and Eno is only listed as a co-writer on one track... so, exactly how is he involved, besides playing instruments... seems Bowie did all the writting and stuff himself... I figure eno played a bigger part... I love all the instrumentals though... they're the best! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
and yeah, I've wanted to get a bowie album for a while, so I saw it at the store for 7.99 euros, which is still a good price in Canadian dollars, and figured I'd get it... now I want more... Heros and Scary Monsters are next I think... |

it seems writing credits back then were'n the same as they are now. i've noticed on other albums where someone had alot of influence into the sound quality, and they weren't given their due. it's a shame that "writing credits" have basically always had to mean they wrote the main progression or the lyrics. |
||||||||

i think some of it is co-written by eno, check the writing credits. but even if he didn't write melodies, the instrument treatments he added made a big impact. plus as tibbar said, those credits are often inaccurate. today he'd be given a producer credit but at the time for whatever reason he wasn't. |

Fantastic album! Ever seen the film "The Man Who Fell to Earth"? The cover artwork is a still from the film. Mind you, I think the orange background might have been airbrushed in or something. Anyway, it's a great film, very weird. Definitely worth seeing. I remember reading somewhere that Bowie's Berlin trilogy (Low, Heroes, Lodger) was almost 50-50 Eno and Bowie, and that by rights Eno should have been credited fully (i.e. "David Bowie and Brian Eno - Low"). Might not be true though. |

I thought it was the most annoyingly pretentious film I've ever seen in my entire life. :S |
