David Bowie - ( Low )
I bought my copy of Bowie's "Low" about 2 years ago now, purely on the back of re-hearing "Sound and Vision" on his recent Best Of . . . and wanting more.
I listened to it a few times over and quite enjoyed it, and then it got put away and not really listened to again until about three months ago, when it absolutely blew me away. It really is the most incredible record and, i would say, one that definitely benefits from being listened to as a whole. After re-discovering "Low" I bought ""Heroes"" based on the fact that it's another Berlin-period album, and that ""Heroes"" is a fucking brilliant song! The album, however, is a bit rubbish, and certainly not a patch on "Low". While "Low" was at first quite challenging listening in places, ""Heroes"" seems to be wilfully challenging and inaccessible almost throughout. "Low", to me, has a rather angular but elegant sound, while ""Heroes"" just seems coarse and messy. So, should i expect a re-discovery of ""Heroes"" in a couple of years time? Where do I look for more like "Low"? (not necessarily from Bowie, but i'd like to know what his closest work is) What are anyone elses Bowie preferences? |
