RETROPOPIC 1040 - BOWIE & LOW: THOSE SIDE 2 INSTRUMENTALS featuring musician David Balfe

Once again The Saint of RETROPOPIC RADIO and musician David Balfe talk Bowie as this time they focus on the last five tracks of his album 'Low'.

How much is the last track on side 1 'A New Career In A New Town' a bridge to the side two instrumentals on Low? Why does this piece of music have a more optimistic feel to it than the rest of the album? To what extent isn't this a 'Bowie does Krautrock' album? How is Warsawa , with his collaboration with Bowie, largely Eno's track? Which track by The Teardrop Explodes was inspired by Weeping Wall on Low? How much was the music of the new romantic movement inspired by the music of Low? Why does David Balfe regard Bowie's next album Heroes as being not quite as good as Low?
