Warszawa

Bowie and Brian Eno wrote it and Bowie and Tony Visconti produced. It opens side two of Low, released on January 14, 1977 on RCA, and was not a single. Wikipedia dates the sessions September to November 1976 at the Chateau d'Herouville, while bowiesongs puts it at Herouville and then Hansa in Berlin in September and October. Eno plays Mini-Moog, piano, Chamberlin and EMS Synthi, Eduard Meyer plays cello and Bowie sings. According to bowiesongs, Eno built the main theme on 430 metronomic clicks.

Bowie said it evokes the very bleak atmosphere he felt on a visit to Warsaw the year before, and asked Eno for a really slow piece of music with a very emotive, almost religious feel. Joy Division's original name, Warsaw, nodded to it, and it appears in the film Christiane F. and in Control. He opened the Isolar II shows in 1978 with it, entering without singing and playing the Chamberlin; it was filmed in Tokyo on December 12, 1978. Covers include Philip Glass's Low Symphony (1993), Nine Inch Nails live with Bowie in 1995, the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Warsaw on July 27, 2012, and Donny McCaslin on Beyond Now (2016).
