message: What genre/subgenre would this be classified as. I'm thinking art pop, with some elements of new wave. Let me know if you have a subgenre that fits better, and thanks in advance. Notarussianspy69 (talk) 03:38, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

replies: text:  Hi there! I'm having a hard time classifying this one as well. All Bowie's biographers primarily call it "a conventional pop song" in the context of Low as a whole. I now have a few on the page that consider it to be disco, while I've seen a few online say funk. Really it's hard to say. I wouldn't call this new wave at all, but I would say art pop (not the same vein as Hunky Dory though). Unfortunately, like  said, we have to stick to what sources say. Because of that, I've changed the infobox to "pop" for now. – zmbro (talk) 20:01, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre 

message: Loved reading this page.  One thing that puzzles me.  In the section on “Composition” it mentions that Bowie's vocals do not start till 1 minute and 45 seconds into the track.  (This is attributed to Buckley, who I think was Bowie's biographer).
On the track I have, the vocal comes in at 1.28.  A minor detail, but it is a quite significant feature of this song.  I know there have been many different versions of this track, but checking all the versions I can find on iTunes, they are all around the same total length, at 3.04.  So how would there be a 17 second difference in the start of the vocal?  The intro would have to somehow be 17 seconds longer, which seems unlikely, given it's already considerable length.
I believe I added this track to my collection by recording it off the original vinyl album. So I feel like that should be the original recording.
Could we consider amending the text to quote 1.28 instead of 1.45, unless someone has information that confirms Buckley's version? kritikos99 (talk) 15:14, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it to a closer 1:30 as O'Leary says. Not perfectly exact but much closer so it should hopefully be acceptable :-) – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:49, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

text: We have to be conscious of WP:NOR but all I can find in Buckley is this " Bowie's vocals don't even appear until half way through the song ". So I suggest we change "till 1 minute and 45 seconds into " to "until half way through the trach". Graham Beards (talk) 15:51, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: O'Leary also says "the halfway point" at 1:30 so I updated it to say that instead. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 15:54, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that.  Glad I was not horribly mistaken about it. kritikos99 (talk) 09:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
