Lodger by David Bowie

This is the often overlooked conclusion to the Berlin trilogy, but I think that it easily stands comparison with the other two. If Low was a wail of despair and Heroes reaching out for a way forward, then Lodger is Bowie set free and playing with his artistic process. The experiments here are playful, venturing into world music and setting the tone for much of what was to come in the 80s. My highlight is the motorik beat inspired Red Sails.
