Notes
“Even when Bowie retreated to Berlin, to live a ‘normal’ life and pull down the blinds on his past fame and misdemeanours, he’s ladling on the drama, even when there are no lyrics (and sometimes no vocals), through side two of Low, the first record in his so-called ‘Berlin Trilogy’,” writes The Vinyl Factory. “Low‘s most recognizably singalong episode, ‘Sound And Vision’ was perfectly assembled, bobbing on an elastic bass line and clipped guitar, and yet totally at odds with anything else that Top Of The Pops would have presented: the intro lasts 74 seconds before the female doo-de-doo vocals came in, and 88 seconds before Bowie’s own vocal: initially subdued, predominantly simmering and gently crooning. And yet it’s so beautiful, and simple; just where did he find such lasting melodies?”
