Low

very happy

Low was the first in the trilogy that would encompass Heroes and Lodger. Some tracks on this groundbreaking and influential album are surprisingly accessible whilst other pieces belong in the realm of classical rather than popular music.The best of the short, melodic songs include Speed Of Life, Breaking Glass, What In The World and Sound & Vision whilst the lengthy, dark pieces are Warszawa, Art Decade, Weeping Wall and Subterraneans.My favourites include the catchy Sound & Vision with its poetic lyrics and gripping guitar hook and of course the atmospheric Breaking Glass which inspired Nick Lowe's I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass on his Pure Pop for Now People album.These short pop pieces are strangely addictive in their robotic minimalism, while the long instrumentals are quite evocative, albeit extremely lugubrious. They would probably appeal more to lovers of classical music than your average Bowie fan. (Those who like Gorecki's Symphony No.3: Sorrowful Songs would love them).Low was a brave experiment for its time and remains a remarkable listening experience although I definitely prefer the shorter, more accesible songs.

Ok fantastic

It's Japanese and it's cool. :P14 more words are required and now there are 9. Now 4. Now....There.
