Made in France and at Hansa in Berlin with Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti, Low splits into short, fractured songs on one side and largely wordless instrumentals on the other. Its processed drum sound and electronic textures fed directly into post-punk. It opened the run of records later called the Berlin trilogy.
