Never has a rock musician been able to reflect the division of East/West Berlin as Bowie did on his great albums Low and Heroes. This instrumental collection includes all of the instrumentals from the aforementioned albums(pity Speed Of Life has been omitted) plus later tracks from Buddha Of Suburbia and other bonus tracks from the early 90s remasters. The standout on here are the three instrumentals from Heroes, which flow into one another creating an amazing ambient soundscape of mid 70s Berlin. Sense Of Doubt is exactly that, a hesitant 4 note synth descent, the track unsure of where it's going with seemingly random synth sounds which follow. Moss Garden goes further into avant garde territory, an endless industrial synth drone backs an improvised plucking of the Japanese stringed instrument the Koto which merges into the manic Neukoln, a deranged saxophone plays on top of minimal distorted guitar and plumbing sounds. Truly excellent pieces as are the four mood pieces from Low, the astonishing Warszawa, Philip Glass influenced Weeping Wall, the slow, jazz inflected ambience of Subterraneans plus Art Decade. More melodic than the Heroes cuts but just as menacing. Worth the price of this album alone and definitely one of the great compilations of all time. Excellent.
