180-gram vinyl remastered version of my favorite Bowie album ever. Impeccable sound, as required for truly experiencing this masterpiece of an album, which finds Bowie and Eno in a highly experimental phase at the start of their so-called Berlin Trilogy (Low/Heroes/Lodger). Get your copy right now.

Pitchfork called this the best album of the 70’s, so with a half dozen or so other possibilities, this can stand as one of the best albums of all time. Great pressing.

I grew up with Low. Much like Bowie himself during the Berlin years, it has a split personality. The first side is about love, anger, and the feeling of "A New Career In A New Town".
The second side is an experimental instrumental sound, almost like industrial meets New Age. The whole album is thoroughly out of this world (as is the cover, which is a headshot of Bowie in "The Man Who Fell To Earth").
The whole things sounds as great as you'd hope from a vinyl record and is even an improvement on the copy I inherited from my mother that dated back to the 70s. If you love Bowie, you'll dig this album. If you're new to him, try "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust" and "Station To Station" then come back to this one.

Love this album to pieces, especially for the decision to sequence the album with the more conventional pop songs on side one and the moody instrumental pieces on side two. A fascinating contrast, yet it all fits.
