Taking Tiger Mountain By a Poll - Eno

yes, if only for the Robert Wyatt backing vocals

So was it ever unveiled who Randi and The Pyramids are? (credited w/ (backing) vocals on 'The True Wheel' ["we are the 801!"]? I know he named her/the lot after a girl he was seeing back then and says he dreamt up the name, but who is the woman singing that?

Multitracked Polly Eltes?

Could be! We know she's on Mother Whale Eyeless, but I've never come across any source attributing the True Wheel vocal to her?

it really blows my mind that this is from 1974 - same year as like Relayer, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Rock Bottom, etc. etc...just sounds like it's from a totally different world

Spot on! Feel like this album is its own genre.

eno was a massive jerk for abandoning that genre tbrr

ooh look at me i invented ambient

otm

xp have you heard "Wrong Way Up"? also some stuff on "My Squelchy Life" is a bit similar, none of it is as bonkers and multilayered though

title track, bitches

was just thinking about this album yesterday because i was super feeling the lyrics to "mother whale eyeless"
his pop songs have more replay value for me than, say, the apollo soundtrack

Not heard xxp! Thanks...
