Description

I am searching for a digital copy of M: - The Secret Tapes Of Dr. Mabuse (recordings), kindly advise if you can share...

The album of the year for me last years was Bowies' 'The Gouster', a wonderful sparse reworking (original cuts/masters) by Tony Visconti bringing a new life to 'Young Americans'. Imagine the same approach and reworking to 'low', would be amazing as would 'Brian Eno' reworking ' Outside'... There were three 1977 issues of 'low' all with the same catalogue number with only subtle differences.

The genesis of Low lies in both the foundations laid by Bowie's previous album Station to Station and in the music he recorded for the soundtrack to The Man Who Fell to Earth. When Bowie presented his material for the film to Nicolas Roeg, the director decided that it would not be suitable. Roeg preferred a more folksy sound, although John Phillips (the chosen composer for the soundtrack) described Bowie's contributions as "haunting and beautiful". Elements from these pieces were incorporated into Low instead. The album's cover, like Station to Station, is a still from the movie: the photographic image, under the album's title, formed a deliberate pun on the phrase "low profile". The album's working title was New Music Night and Day.

Please check out my excellent feedback and if you have any queries then please do not hesitate to ask.
