Low — 1977

The first of the Berlin-era records, split between fractured art-pop and chilly ambient instrumentals co-shaped by Brian Eno. Bleak, beautiful and decades ahead of its time, it rewired what a rock star's album could contain. A grower that becomes a favourite. Released in 1977 — a solid middle chapter.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
