Actually, Turrican is right insofar as the Davis-Murray years go from 1976 to 1971. And only one album was recorded in Berlin.

it's a well established shorthand, however arbitrary, let's hustle along without revisiting Taxonomy 101 for the millionth time

1976 to 1971?

I've always found this idea of a "trilogy" a bit stupid

i think i posted this before:

Bowie began referring to the three albums as a Berlin-centered trilogy during the promotion of Lodger, although "Heroes" was the only installment primarily recorded in the city.

stupid idea or not it was bowie who started it.

song cycle begins with "sister midnight" and ends with "red money" there you go

ten months pass...

Y'know, people say that the melody on 'Weeping Wall' is meant to be 'Scarborough Fair', but I suspect that it's actually taken from Zappa's 'Who Are the Brain Police?' (Which Bowie was a fan of and even apparently covered in the '60s)
