Clocking in at under two minutes, this track is a masterclass in minimalist funk. The high-resolution format highlights the scratchy, brittle texture of Carlos Alomar’s rhythm guitar. George Murray’s bass sits perfectly rounded and heavy in the lower-mid frequencies, providing a rock-solid foundation for Bowie's fractured, dry vocal delivery.

: For convenience, Low (2017 Remaster) is also available as standard 16/44.1 FLAC on services like Tidal and Qobuz, and as lossy AAC and MP3 on Spotify and Apple Music. These versions are fine for casual listening but do not compare to the detail of the high-res edition.
