Recorded in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, David Bowie's "Heroes" is the defiant, romantic heart of his Berlin era, presented here as a remastered CD edition.
Released in 1977, it was the second album of the so-called Berlin trilogy and the only one recorded entirely in the city, at Hansa studios. Bowie worked again with producer Tony Visconti and Brian Eno, and brought in Robert Fripp for guitar parts that still sound like they are coming from another planet. The result balanced art-rock energy with experimental instrumentals in a way few artists have managed.
The title track is the obvious landmark, a slow-building anthem about two lovers by the Wall that has become one of Bowie's most beloved songs. "Beauty and the Beast" opens the album with jittery, nervy funk, while "Sons of the Silent Age" leans into dreamy melodrama. Then the second half drifts into ambient territory with "V-2 Schneider" and the meditative "Moss Garden", where Bowie plays koto over Eno's shimmering textures.
It is a restless, brilliant album that feels both cold and deeply emotional, often within the same song.
For anyone tracing Bowie's most adventurous years, this remains an essential, endlessly rewarding listen that sounds as bold as it did then.
