Taking Tiger Mountain By a Poll - Eno

ILM got this one right fer sure. Eno's best song? Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap I haven't listened to this in at least a decade (I can tell because I've never imported it to iTunes...)

can't believe mother whale eyeless only got 4 votes

that might be my favorite eno song.

the second half of this song is so addictive, such an amazing maelstrom drawing me in. third uncle is almost as good. just a little more free-flowing. and the tune isn't quite as strong. one of his best albums, that's for sure. haven't listened to it for ages as well. why the hell? life is too short to listen to rubbish.

we saw the lovers, the modern lovers
and they looked very good
they looked as if they could

fuck this record is incredible

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Have you got Another Green World?

yeah heard it and it's not so much for me even though I appreciate that its charms may be even more refined

this is simply a total fucking headrush

toooo make percuss-ion over so-los

Love the bored way he intones that

fuck this record is incredible

OTM

I listened to "Burning Airlines Give You So Much More" this morning and it was indeed great

i listened to "the true wheel" as i walked out of the house to go to work on this sunny fall day and it felt like my personal theme song

ding ding!

row row row

Thanks a lot, now I have to play this. Not that it isn't awesome.

Robert Wyatt's entrance in "Put a Straw Under Baby" gets me every time. It's made me laugh out loud on the tube before now; can't believe no-one voted for this track.

on my third consecutive listen-through having never heard this before

:-D

have lived with it for 10 years, love it unreservedly. This revive forced me to listen to it again

hidden Tilt lyric

this is for the fingers
this is for the nails

Always loved ANG + Here Come The Warm Jets more, but hey time for another listen.

have you heard warm jets imago? prefer it to this but imperial phase eno, not much in it

xp!

Cindy tells Me is such a blast.

oh actually I know you have, you posted about driving me backwards in the 70s rock poll iirc?

man that seems a long time ago

xp

I've not heard HCTWJ in one connected sitting, maybe, but I've heard it all and consider it a blast

Another Green World poll would be more difficult to pick from to me. The top 3 results in this thread is my exact same ranking.

we climbed
and we climbed
oh how we climbed

well that and here comes the warm jets... i'd probably end up voting for needle but title track and baby's on fire are awesome too.

I've not heard HCTWJ in one connected sitting, maybe, but I've heard it all and consider it a blast.

Just sat through the whole damn thing and yes it is very good! Just haven't heard it for years.

reeemeeembeeer meee

4 listens complete. 5th impending

there is actual magic in this music. something on the mastertape that can't be explained by science

(by strategy)

before and after science

Robert Wyatt's entrance in "Put a Straw Under Baby" gets me every time. It's made me laugh out loud on the tube before now; can't believe no-one voted for this track.

yay lj!

This was always my favourite Eno "song" record. It was also the first one I heard! He caught me with the electric piano entrance on "Burning Airlines" and killed me whistle solo in "Judy's Jungle"

In another country
With another name
Maybe things are different
Maybe they're the same

This record is killer. Kinda sad that "Straw Under Baby" got no votes. Robert Wyatt + Brian Eno gimme more!

So so so so good. Am enjoying humming the Bat Out Of Hell solo under Mother Whale Eyeless' bridge though. The record's making me a bit sad, in the way that all cosmic art does

title-track is the saddest song. actually crying right now. fuck

keep it together man

it's just kinda ridiculous how at the end of an album with 9 tracks of unrelenting joy he just blasts you with the saddest fucking thing you've ever heard

i'm a mess

this might be one of the greatest albums ever made

I've always found it quite uplifting...
