Is this the only ILM thread about Low? I came here to post about that but have now put on Lodger and am about to read the Lodger thread instead.

Was in Union Square for a little while this afternoon and Tony Visconti walked by. I'm glad i was with someone capable of recognizing Tony Visconti. There are not that many music ppl who I love so much that the mere sight of them fills my heart with joy but tony fucking Visconti aieeeee!

nice catch, jon. in terms of this poll, i think that Low is the best one but it's closer than many people assume. Lodger is a great album too. "i don't want to live with somebody's depression" is one of bowie's most insightful lyrics.

My favorite of all might be All Saints which collects all the instrumentals on one disc.

Anyone listening to the WNYC New Sounds broadcast of the 2018 live Berlin trilogy performances led by Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg?

Damn, they did a great job covering Lodger. Hearing Jamie Stewart sing "Repetition" is weird — it's obviously a very disturbing song but in an entirely different way from how Xiu Xiu songs are disturbing.

Posted about this on some other Lodger thread but there was little interest, unsurprisingly. FWIW I prefer the live-in-the-studio version Shearwater did a couple of years ago.
