There are a handful of albums that completely embody the zeitgeist in which it was created. So boldly and faultlessly do these records capture the emotion, the politics and the climate of the year and place it was made, they’ll remain in history books for years to come. Or on countless film soundtracks- have you ever seen a film about Vietnam in 70’s without Jimi Hendrix? Or London in the 60’s without The Who? One of the albums that perfectly defines Berlin during the Cold War has got to be #Heroes by #DavidBowie.
When you think of music in 77, you think of the heated, frenzied noise of the punk scene that was burgeoning in London. But 700 miles away, #Berlin was bleak but defiant, feeling the Cold War in full effect. Snow-covered, divided and feeling the remnants of it’s Nazi past and the push of the Soviets from the East. Seemingly the perfect breeding ground for culture and artists to proliferate.
Up until this point, #Bowie had morphed from character to character, enjoying success after success. Though drug addiction, fame, Los Angeles, fame in Los Angeles and creative block had left him empty and on the brink of a downfall. A fan of the art and music that was found in West Berlin, and keen to clean up, Bowie joined his friends, Iggy, Visconti and Eno in Schöneberg. After helping Iggy with The Idiot and Lust for Life, attention soon turned to what would become the Berlin Trilogy. The first of which, Low, was heavily motivated by Krautrock- minimalist and un-commercial. These themes were followed up with the second release, but to greater affect. Heroes took Low one step further, and even reached No.3 in the UK charts. Recorded at Hansa Tonstudio in Kreuzberg, only a few meters away from the Berlin Wall and the Red Guards. the atmospheric and often chilling noises that had been sampled are a large dose of zeitgeist. Listen to the album in full, and be transported back to that scene.
