Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy consists of three studio albums: Low, “Heroes”, and Lodger. These albums were recorded by David Bowie in collaboration with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti.
Low was released on 14 January 1977 and is considered one of Bowie’s most influential albums. It features a combination of short rock tracks on side 1, and longer instrumental tracks on side 2. The album was recorded primarily in France and then moved to Germany due to tape machine problems.
“Heroes” was released later in 1977 and is known for its title track. The album was recorded in Berlin and features a mix of electronic and rock elements. King Crimson guitarists Robert Fripp was flown in at zero hour to complete lead guitar duties.
Lodger, released in 1979, completes the Berlin Trilogy. It features a diverse range of musical styles. The album was recorded in Switzerland and New York City.
The Berlin Trilogy is considered a significant artistic achievement and has had a lasting impact on music.
