Song Of The Day – 9/9/11

I can remember the shock of new upon hearing Bowie’s “Low” album for the first time in 1977. Sure, his previous record “Station To Station” pointed in this bold new direction, but here side one featured seven vocal song sketches followed by four longer instrumentals on the flip. Bowie had fallen under the spell of Neu!, Kraftwerk and Brian Eno, but the music that came out of it was pure Bowie.
