Bowie In Berlin: A New Career In A New Town
Thomas Jerome SeabrookDriven to the brink of madness by cocaine, overwork, marital
strife, and a paranoid obsession with the occult, David Bowie fled Los
Angeles in 1975 and ended up in Berlin, the divided city on the
frontline between communist East and capitalist West. There he sought
anonymity, taking an apartment in a run-down district with his sometime
collaborator Iggy Pop, another refugee from drugs and debauchery, while
they explored the city and its notorious nightlife.
In this intensely creative period, Bowie put together three classic albums—Low, “Heroes”, and Lodger—with
collaborators who included Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, and Tony Visconti.
He also found time to produce two albums for Iggy Pop—The Idiot and Lust For Life—and to take a leading role in a movie, the ill-starred Just A Gigolo.
examines that period and those records, exploring Bowie’s fascination
with the city, unearthing his sources of inspiration, detailing his
working methods, and teasing out the elusive meanings of the songs.
Painstakingly researched and vividly written, the book casts new light
on the most creative and influential era in Bowie’s career.
