I read somewhere that the Eno instrumental side of Low was there because Bowie was too strung out to work. Seems his Berlin sessions (Low & Heroes) were a particularly low point for him, and his "recovery" album from that experience became Scary Monsters. And Jon Hassel is a very interesting artist that takes some getting used to. Often when I hear his playing I don't even realize I'm hearing a trumpet. It's almost as if he creates a nasal whining sound and pushes it through the trumpet. Very unusual and otherworldly. I believe he also appears on Eno's Ambient 4: On Land.
