Behind The Recording of 'Heroes'- David Bowie

David Bowies 1977 album 'Heroes' is an enduring classic very much inspired by the times it was made in but also its location. It’s the middle album in his Berlin trilogy, it is in fact the only album entirely recorded in Berlin and for the most part written there also.
This is the story of how it was recorded and the techniques and equipment used.

One of Fripp and Eno's best albums too.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="348">5:48</a> The vocal mikes setup makes Bowie's voice sound more distant - the louder he has to sing, the deeper his voice sinks into the mix, so that finally he is shouting across a wide gulf. This is also a direct illustration of the theme of separation in the song - you can just about imagine him calling across the Wall.

Along with perhaps five of his other albums could be considered the greatest album of all time.

Each of these album breakdowns is a treat. You have a knack for tying the technical aspects with the emotional insight that leads to great art. I liked the world much better when Bowie was in it.

Thank you! That’s really kind of you to say, I do try to connect both the technical and emotional aspects. Totally agreed that the world was better place with Bowie in it.

e-bow + overdrive + delay creates a similar guitar sound 👌

Great work. It's one of my favourite albums, due to the mixture of synth, f/x and sonic textures, such as Fripp's guitar work. It's odd that Robert Fripp didn't receive a writing credit on the title track, considering his triple solo is a big part of the sound.

Thank you! It’s a good point, That guitar part is so integral to the song .

I’ve been fortunate to visit Hansa. The ballroom has an amazing ambience. As a huge Bowie fan I was moved to be able to look out of the same window he saw his ‘lovers’ kissing.

Musically, the track “Heroes” was in fact based on the Velvet Underground song, “What Goes On”, not “Waiting for the Man”.

Love the guitar parts. But as a guitarist for 35 years that was an E-Bow. Feedback? Bullshit.
