Most of the music across the three albums wasn't even recorded in Berlin, the unifying factor actually being Bowie, Visconti and Eno. Low was a Bowie/Visconti production, and not a Brian Eno one as widely misreported.
Much has been written about the brilliance and braveness of the music on Low, and
