Brian Eno and Berlin are in a way the best thing to happen to Bowie in an aspect of creativity and lush artistic qualities. While the first side of the record are deconstructed electronic krautrock mixed with an essence of early post-punk, the more experimental take on ambient instrumentals the second side had, are what really stick out, with some thanks to Brian Eno's treatments and contributions. Some say that Eno is really the mastermind behind this haunting and over-creative masterpiece, But Bowie really had more "mind" on this album than anything. In a way Krautrock, Iggy Pop's The Idiot(Produced by Bowie)and a failed soundtrack attempt to The Man Who Fell To Earth( in which he was the star ) ,as well as his previous album Station to Station served as the creative backbone for the Berlin Trilogy, especially Low. Now while "Warszawa" was an effort by both Eno and Bowie, Bowie would venture into ambient on his own, just like Eno and the results are just as beautiful and in some ways haunting. "Subterraneans" is an example of the new sounds surroundings Bowie was exploring as well as his outlook on Berlin. The album is a landmark in terms of the adventures it took and it is the biggest bang in all of Bowies ever changing catalog. |

Frank Zappa Hot Rats |
Genesis Selling England by the Pound |
Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway |
Joy Division Closer |
A very dark and beautiful minimalist effort from a band that ended in tragedy. In terms of their post-punk gloom it had everything as per usual but also with a hint of haunt and deep atmosphere. |

It's the best rock album ever made and still cannot be touched. Leave it at that. |
The Stooges Raw Power |
The Stooges and David Bowie present a bare bones, dirty sound, thus creating the spine for what would become punk. |
