The last of the 'Berlin Trilogy' recorded in collaboration with Brian Eno, it was produced in Switzerland and New York City, and was more accessible than its immediate predecessors ''Low'' and ''"Heroes"'', having no instrumentals and being somewhat lighter and more pop-oriented. It was still an experimental record in many ways and was not, by Bowie's standards, a major commercial success. Indifferently received by critics on its initial release, it is now widely considered, along with other albums such as ''Diamond Dogs'' and ''The Man Who Sold The World'' to be one of Bowie's most underrated albums.〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination – David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp.335–356〕〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': pp.310–312〕 ==Production== Originally to be titled either ''Planned Accidents'' or ''Despite Straight Lines'',〔http://view.e.wmg.com/?j=fe8d16757666037b7c&m=fe9a12727767077875&ls=fe261772756d037a731774&l=fef717767c6105&s=fe521c7572600c757511&jb=ffcf14&ju=fe5c16797264017c7d17&eml=2015July6/2532769/6223350&etsubid=85748805&r=0〕〔 ''Lodger'' was largely recorded between legs of David Bowie's 1978 world tour and featured the same musicians, along with Brian Eno. Lead guitar was played not by Robert Fripp, as on ''"Heroes"'', but by Fripp's future King Crimson bandmate, Adrian Belew, whom Bowie had "poached" while the guitarist was touring with Frank Zappa. Much of Belew's work on the album was composited from multiple takes played against backing tracks of which he had no prior knowledge, not even the key.〔 Other experiments on the album included using old tunes played backwards, employing identical chord sequences for different songs, and having the musicians play unfamiliar instruments. Eno felt that the trilogy had "petered out" by ''Lodger'',〔Ian Gittens (2007). "Art Decade", ''MOJO 60 Years of Bowie'': pp.70–73〕 and Belew also observed Eno's and Bowie's working relationship closing down: "They didn't quarrel or anything uncivilised like that; they just didn't seem to have the spark that I imagine they might have had during the ''"Heroes"'' album."〔 An early plan to continue the basic pattern of the previous records with one side of songs and the other instrumentals was dropped, Bowie instead adding lyrics that foreshadowed the more worldly concerns of his next album, ''Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lodger (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
