Right now IĶm totally into David Bowies first two records he recorded in Berlin , that he produced with Tony Visconti and Brian Eno (Roxy Music).. The LP:s "Heroes" and "Low" are absolutley excellent, electronic, revolutionary, beautyfull and fantastic! |

| Although i've only recently bought "Heroes" and listened to it once, i'm not too impressed. I'm hoping its a grower though. |

Bowie's heyday was the early 70's with Ziggy, Alladdin and 1984. Young Americans was a semi-good disc and the Berlin years had a few good songs, but he was beyond the best he could do. Bowie has always been good at redefining himself, but |

Low is the best album of the three in terms of the material, although Heroes probably has the more striking contrasts. I love the idea that Bowie and Eno could work on something like Breaking Glass and decide that after a minute and a half they had said |

| If you like the Low / Eno era Bowie albums check out the CLUSTER albums ZUCKERZEIT and SOWIESOSO .These were definately an influence on Bowie and ,dare I say it, Eno who went onto record with them. |

Low is arguabley the most powerful and inventive LP of the 1970's. Nothing to do with Prog rock of course.But genius none the less. -------------

Lodger is the most adventurous of the 3 albums, but the hardest to get into. Low was recorded in the wake of Bowie sharing a flat in Berlin with Iggy Pop while they both kicked their coke habits. Scary Monsters is also of interest - Eno did not participate and it's a much more straightforward rock album then the Berlin trilogy, but it does feature some superb lead guitar from Robert Fripp. As Phallus Dei said, classic stuff - and nice to see those old Cabaret Voltaire eps/singles there. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

| I respect these Bowie's albums most! His singing voice is also much better than in the early 70's. |
