Lodger, released in 1979, is the third installment in David Bowie's iconic Berlin trilogy, a collaboration with the legendary producer and experimentalist Brian Eno. The trilogy started with Heroes and Low in 1977. Unlike the earlier dark records filled with alien - sounding instrumentals, Lodger takes a different path. It has relatively straightforward songs and no such strange instrumentals. Once considered hard to access, Lodger now stands as a classic and transitional Bowie album, brimming with an experimental spirit. The album offers a journey through strange lands, from the Middle Eastern vibes of Yassassin to the odd wordplay of African Night Flight. Tracks like Boys Keep Swinging (covered by ex - Bangle Susanna Hoffs) and DJ have a traditional rock song structure, but their unique textures, rough edges, and dissonant elements make them something special. Look Back in Anger, with Adrian Belew's fierce guitar playing, became a mainstay in Bowie's live concerts. Red Money is Bowie's take on Iggy Pop's Sister Midnight from The Idiot. The anthemic Red Sails, co - written with Eno, has a powerful forward motion, with its glorious crescendo and fadeout creating the most thrilling moments on the record.
