Book Reviews of David Bowie's Low (33 1/3)
Book Review: fascinating look at fascinating subject matter
Summary: 5 Stars
Bowie's time in and around Berlin has long been a subject of tremendous interest, and this small book does a nice job of distilling it into manageable form. Wilcken shows tremendous respect for both the subject matter and the reader, and does not waste space. I think there's something important in this book about the nature of creativity, although it may take a second read, or another book covering the same material, to be sure.Book Review: Interesting Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Having first listened to this record years ago, and understanding it is among Bowie's best, I found refreshing history bits about the record I never knew about. REcommended read for Bowie fans.Book Review: Best writing yet on Bowie - hands down
Summary: 5 Stars
I would love to hear his take on the rest of the seventies recordsBook Review: Very good
Summary: 4 Stars
Being a big fan of David Bowie, I picked up this book to learn more about one of my favorite albums. I'd read reviews of some of the other 33 1/3 books and was a little bit worried that the author might go off topic or write mostly about his own experience with the album. Luckily Mr. Wilcken avoids that and covers the creation of the album as well the the events and people that influenced it. He shows how Low was a connected to Station to Station and The Idiot, while also explaining the influence of Kraftwerk and others. Definitely a good choice for anyone interested in the album or Berlin era of Bowie's work.
