Low

Low, released in 1977, finds David Bowie moving into a spare, electronic and ambient-influenced sound that began his Berlin-period work. Produced with Tony Visconti and featuring contributions from Brian Eno, the album splits between concise, experimental art pop and rock songs on the first side and largely instrumental, ambient and electronic pieces on the second side. Its textures combine synths, electronic treatments, fragmented vocal lines and minimalist arrangements, creating a cool, moody atmosphere that marked a notable stylistic shift in Bowie's career and influenced later blends of rock with ambient and electronic music.
