David Bowie's album "Low" from his enigmatic era is considered one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. Influenced by Brian Eno, the album was a departure from Bowie's previous work and featured long, gloomy instrumentals on side 2. The cover of the album, featuring Bowie in profile from the film "The Man Who Fell To Earth," cleverly plays on the title "Low Profile." Bowie's retreat to Berlin and his desire to cleanse his mind and body influenced the album's introspective and experimental sound. Fans were intrigued by Bowie's artistic evolution and the album's departure from his previous work.
