Low

Low is the 11th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on RCA Records on 14 January 1977. Recorded following Bowie's move to West Berlin after a period of drug addiction and personal instability, Low became the first of three collaborations with producers Brian Eno and Tony Visconti, later termed the "Berlin Trilogy". However, the album was recorded largely in France at the Château d'Hérouville and marked a shift in Bowie's musical style toward an electronic and ambient approach that would be further explored on subsequent albums "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger (1979). The music of Low was inspired by the German music scene, particularly Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Neu!.

Low has been considered ahead of its time and has become widely acclaimed as one of Bowie's best and most influential works. It has appeared on numerous "best-of" lists, including by Pitchfork, who placed it at number 1 in its list of the Top 100 Albums of the 1970s, and by Q, who placed it at number 14 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2013, NME listed the album as the 14th greatest of all time. It was also listed as one of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums of all time. (from Wikipedia)
