"Warszawa" and "Red"
I was listening in the car to David Bowie’s “Low” today going to the store, and I realized as I was sitting there that there was a phrase in Warszawa that had very similar tone to something else I had heard… and I realized that it was a segment of King Crimson’s song “Red.”
It was striking to me how similar these songs are structurally – with the exception of the opening – It would be an interesting orchestral mashup to adjust the tones and basic keys to be coordinated – or even to play one in the style of the other… i.e. “Red” in the drawn out ambient symphonic vein, and “Warzsawa” in a quicker, louder context.
