Low  by David Bowie

Somewhere towards the end of 1976, David Bowie moves to Berlin. Low, which will be released in 1977, becomes the first of three albums that Bowie will write in Germany and will constitute the "Berlin Trilogy". Key contributors to Low will be Brian Eno on keyboards and synthesizers, Carlos Alomar on electric guitar, and of course Tony Visconti in the album's production.

On Low, David Bowie does not hesitate to experiment with something new and unprecedented for him. He presents a completely different musical style, a style that is highly influenced by electronic music and German Krautrock. The two sides of the record comprise two different musical landscapes. The first side mainly includes songs, while the second side is primarily an ambient journey. The change was such that RCA Records refused to release it for three months because the company's people feared it would be a huge commercial failure.

However, the artist's fans embraced and loved it. Indicatively, the first single of the album, Sound and Vision, reached No. 3 in Britain and was the most successful work David Bowie had to show at that time. In Britain alone, it sold 220,000 copies and reached No. 2 on the country's chart. On the Billboard, it climbed to No. 11.
