33 1/3 David Bowie’s Low

Low, David Bowie's 1976 album, was the culmination of drug addiction, mental illness (and the fear of it), and far reaching influence from R&B rhythm sections to Brian Eno soundscapes. After moving to West Berlin and kicking his cocaine habit, Bowie discovered bands like Neu!, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream. Low features some of Bowie's first explorations of electronic and ambient music. Brian Eno played a large part in the development and recording on the album. It is the sound of a man attempting to recover from psychic and spiritual pain, in the form of a rock record.
