Before the end of 1976, Bowie's interest in the burgeoning German music scene, as well as his drug addiction, prompted him to move to West Berlin to clean up and revitalize his career. Working with Brian Eno while sharing an apartment in Schöneberg with Iggy Pop, he began to focus on minimalist, ambient music for the first of three albums, co-produced with Tony Visconti, that would become known as his Berlin Trilogy. Song Listing: Sense Of Doubt, Beauty And The Beast, Heroes, Stay, The Jean Genie, TVC 15, Alabama Song and Rebel Rebel.
