HMV Review

Repeating the formula of Low's half-vocal/half-instrumental structure, Heroes develops and strengthens the sonic innovations David Bowie and Brian Eno explored on their first collaboration. The vocal songs are fuller, boasting harder rhythms and deeper layers of sound. Much of the harder-edged sound of Heroes is due to Robert Fripp's guitar, which provides a muscular foundation for the electronics, especially on the relatively conventional rock songs. Similarly, the instrumentals on Heroes are more detailed, this time showing a more explicit debt to German synth pop and European experimental rock. Essentially, the difference between Low and Heroes lies in the details, but the record is equally challenging and groundbreaking. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

    前半の突進するリズムのわかり易さと後半の悲愴なプログレ感覚のギャップに◎。前作を更におし進めた大傑作。後半は低音ピアノとシンセ反復、奥深さの中に琴の音色を入れ、間の取り方も見事、落下して行くようなサックスの響き。イーノとロバート・フリップをゲストに迎えボウイならではのプログレを作り上げた。

    英雄夢語り・・・微妙な邦題で販売されてたＬＰの頃から愛聴しています。９０年頃のサウンド＆ビジョンツアーがＮＨＫで放送されましたが、ヒーローズではおじさん達が盛り上がっていました。美女と野獣、ライオンのジョー、英雄夢語り、ブラックアウト・・・。緊張感のある音。イーノ、フリップ＆ボウイの名盤です。必聴！

    Station to Station　〜　Low 〜　Heroes　ボウイのピークともいえる３部作。この作品を発表した後のライヴでは、イーノが誰にも気づかれず弾き始めるキーボードで幕を開ける、とても地味なものでした。音を追求しつくしたボウイはこのあとしばらく迷走してしまうのですが、今考えると、これだけの作品を出せば仕方ないなと感じてしまいます。
