When this album was released in January 1977, Bowie was recognized to have gone where no other artist had ever dared to go. His musical escapades and routes were b coming very obscure, but nevertheless, the most interesting of their kind. 'Low' was #2 on the UK charts and featured a marvelously crafted track, 'Sound and Vision' as well as others of which he performed often in future tours.
Some musical contributions on this album include Tony Visconti's wife, Mary [backing vocals on Sound & Vision] and Iggy Pop with occasional vocal contributions.
His first major collaboration with Brian Eno, the music on the album had an instrumental essence to it and a quite different view.
Some of the music on this album was also inspired by Bowie's visit to Germany, where he had stayed for a while. Although certain off-stage incidents occurred, for instance, his fixation with the Nazi organization, had pursued fans and critics to change views, and it
had also reflected on Bowie as 'abusing' his music career of stardom.
