Review

Imagine stepping into a smoky Berlin club in 1977, the air thick with the scent of change and experimentation. That's the atmosphere David Bowie conjures up with "Heroes", his masterful foray into art rock and experimental music. As the second installment in his Berlin Trilogy and following the groundbreaking "Low", Bowie collaborates with luminaries Brian Eno and Tony Visconti to craft a soundscape that is as atmospheric and expansive as it is uniquely electronic.

With an album structure that mirrors its predecessor, "Heroes" splits its time between more traditional song forms and sweeping, instrumental pieces. While the first side reels you in with its evocative tone and compelling tracks, the second side immerses you in lush, ambient compositions. The titular track, "‘Heroes’", stands tall as an emblem of love and resilience, painting a vivid picture of lovers separated by the Berlin Wall. As Bowie croons with raw passion, the song's anthemic strength cements its place as an enduring classic. Fuelled by themes of defiance and the spirit of human connection, "Heroes" remains a timeless testament to Bowie's ever-innovative genius. - Magnus
