Taking Tiger Mountain By a Poll - Eno

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

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...

imago is a true man

i find not uplifting nor sad. just beautiful.

I find the effect more, well, affecting on the second side of "Before and After Science." "Spider & I" ...

x2

ending the album with that track is incredible. a stroke of incredibility.

mother whale eyeless is the underrated gem on this album though.

treesh i feel we have similar sincerities if unsimilar insincerities

I find the effect more, well, affecting on the second side of "Before and After Science." "Spider & I" ...

― Josh in Chicago,

this song slays me

<3 to you from america, imago. i'm sorry you're having a hard time.

cheers fella. it's getting better every day ^_^

let's see who can finish their book first k

spider & i was lovely but ttm (the song) is fucken cosmic. can't even begin

The title track is so great EXCEPT for when that guitar line does that annoying chromatic descending melody rather than the part where it blends magnificently into the piano melody.

no way

I've been enjoying the living hell out of Mother Whale Eyeless lately. I never gave it much of a chance because of all the other great songs on this album but it's so great. This whole album has pleasantly odd/never boring lyrics.
