Taking Tiger Mountain

[jensmusicfaves]

Hey, now I know where Nick Cave got (part of) the melody of "The Ship Song."

[04callwilk1]

John Frusciante got head off Rachel to this song for the first time.

[00KillTheLights00]

@04callwilk1 known this song for reading it on John!

[JINGLERAMA]

HE ALSO WORKS WITH TALKING HEADS, DAVID BYRNE...

[1foams]

words of praise can't discribe music this good

[cosmicrider287]

numero eno.

[godisdeadagain]

quirkybeats said to check out Dion's cover of "Born to Be With You" which does have a very similar arrangement to this song, but if you go back a few years to a song called "Lisa Says", written by Lou Reed, at the time of the VU, you can hear where Eno may have gotten this song from. Don;t get me wrong, I love Eno & Reed & Dion! I'm just saying that there r melodies, riffs & rhythms that run throughout many songs, whether by accident or on purpose who knows, but they there to b found.

[walleyedogpk]

fire up a joint, kick back and enjoy the song!

[rone714]

Eno Blotter !!!

[quirkybeats]

Check out Dion's cover of the song "Born to Be With You" and tell me if you don't see similarities.. The latter came out in 1975, a year after this sublime piece.

[Nechepsos]

I gave up punk to this song

[populvuh02]

this song brings such a surreal childlike peace to me. conflicting emotions ultimately coalescing in perfect harmony, like saying farewell to your closest, dearest friends for the last time, yet feeling the most reassuring bliss and contentedness in the long path ahead. i can't help but cry to this.

[Lieu3C4]

What stamps the high end of the British, or any aristocratic, murder schemata cum social network control system? A reluctance to both admit and release one's selves of awareness thereof. And at the apex? But that is another song.

[alcoholichealer]

IF I could retain this swirling universal consciousness whilst tripping about

my workaday realm, if this mindset of noting and connoting the sublle and the sublime were 'lowed inwards, rather than being carded, discarded, and disregarded, then I say then, I could say, for that brief instant,

Eno and I would be onE

[mhayden1224]

i got head listening to this song

[MrJas1991]

Sad song

[omgpielol]

[Wormtongue13]

Nice blotter acid graphic. Set and setting indeed.

[vertxxgg]

great album...in Johannesburg college days 70s

[dabonecat]

such an awesome album :)

[ricmalbex]

Crikey ! this takes you back.....:-}===~~~

[nannerbj]

Yes indeedy !

[dugitomi]

do you remember the late great Harrison Ridley, Jr., may he rest in everlasting peace. He's the only person I ever heard use that expression. He was the greatest educator about jazz music in Philadelphia for many years. That was one of his 'trademark' interjections, 'yes, inndeeedy.' He was a great man. So is Mr. Brian Eno.

[nannerbj]

5 and favourite

[TINMANschannel]

great track not heard it for ages,

thanks for share ricmalbex

[stoleninfo]

everything he touches turns to ENO

[diegobartaburu]

breathtaking

[iidesudesu]

I love this song more than bread.

[Ogaitnas900]

Ill go right ahead and steal that expression kthxbye

[jinksyjet1]

thank-you Hunchybunker for posting all these Eno tracks!

[dumpkinson]

i wonder who would win a fight between jesus and santa?

[Dodec84]

Jesus, he has special powers.

[Joshpy27]

Well theres only one way to find out.

FIGHT!!!

Sorry.

Bit of Harry Hill there for ya :D

I'll just err...go.

[depechemodevilla]

This sounds beautiful. Too bad he works with shit like Coldplay and U2 but I'm sure Eno gets the bucks for it.

I personally work as a telemarketer. Does anyone want to do an interview about your satification with Marlboro cigs? If yes, send me a notice. I can dig it.

[delwatts]

Don't forget work with Roxy Music Genesis Nico and Bowie I'm amazed to find this on here his solo albums were never mainstream I got mine from a tiny shop off Piccadily Manchester practically the only shop that had them, it belonged to a beardy bloke called Branson

[louisemayb]

ha ha - that would be good ol' Virgin Records. Just saw a pic on an ad in a tube station the other day of that first shop. Way cool!

[delwatts]

If there was a tall skinny blonde haired guy in Lennon glasses and a droppy 60's tache slidling in like The Lone Groover sans codpiece it may well be me ace shop they even had Krautrock when the department stores wouldn't touch it and he would always do a price on stuff great discounter

[ClassicRockSovereign]

@delwatts

What did he do with Genesis...?

[delwatts]

@ClassicRockSovereign depends on who you believe he did some production work on Lamb Lies Down I did have him down for a later album but I cant find a link for it and he also collaborated with Peter Gabriel if you get the opportunity there is a superb documentary about Brian which deals with a great deal of his work

[foxtuba]

@ClassicRockSovereign

He produced the song "The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging" on The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Wicked song.

[mikewarns]

@delwatts In Blighty? It was relatively easy to find here in Merca. The weird thing is that I can recall a different album cover, one of the PRC propaganda paintings of a vertical white landscape marked by trees, boulders, and the soldiers taking cover behind them. Loved that print, which doesn't appear to be called "Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)," anywhere.

[delwatts]

@mikewarns yes Mike but that was back in the day long before the internet was even a gleam in the ether I got my copy a couple of weeks after it was released on vinyl so it is long gone along with the original cover though I dubbed in on to a cassette for in the car which is probably lurking in the old drawer. I remember that image and as I thought it was a gatefold sleeve answers by postcard what was on the other two sides? funny thing I found out was the title was taken from a Maoist opera

[mikewarns]

@delwatts, I'm glad that wasn't something I imagined!

[originaltbyrd]

@depechemodevilla no, actually i smoke kools. but if you'll buy me a new gibson guitar, i'll switch.

[yzarduy]

@depechemodevilla alrite, i'd like to. i hate marlboro, in fact. i live in mexico, so i don't think this will be useful for you ñ_ñ

[eringism]

@depechemodevilla he's what made u2 and coldplay sound good.

[Vambo1958]

@eringism Yea, but Coldplay sucks!

[kilroywuzhere1]

@depechemodevilla so your saying coldplay is shit fuck you idiot

[MrSKINFLICK]

@kilroywuzhere1: Coldplay suck indeed and have very very limited playing abilities. In MY opinion they started spoiling the level of the whole Rock+pop music since the late nineties. Basically they always play the same song in slightly different "variations"... If you like that - not my or other commentators´ problem. Nevertheless we live in a society of free speech + you should be able to accept critcism. Blind idolism leads to nothing.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@kilroywuzhere1: You have otherwise a very good taste with DEVO, Bowie or Lou Reed - so you should be able to accept other people´s opinions, or ?

[cledman69]

@depechemodevilla We're always hiring...special perks for Eno eficionados!  info@aimsinc,info

[Christophanus]

@depechemodevilla I LOVE marlboro reds... thats all i willl ever smoke, smoke em by the pack, one after another.... have for 5 years now, since i was 13

[bartleby2007]

This is one of my favorite albums of all time along with here come the warm jets, before and after science, and another green world and later wrong way up with john cale.

[migomadness]

India should listen to this! Their tigers are descended from the sabre-toothed tiger, which is the antecedent of all big cats. All dogs and cats are descendents of these animals! Aren't they beautiful!

[kuarkik]

Eno we always love you.

[vonsmitty1313]

Still so extremely haunting and evocative after all these years. Music nowadays is either slick to the point of being virtually nonexistant,or lunkheadedly godawful. Eno always displayed true character,cleverness,and originality...

[def48]

He writes beautiful melodies a very underrated musician I think. Masamens said it best a few comments ago.

[jiddu1970]

Eno underrated? he is considered a living legend, one of the most appreciated musician-producer ever. ask U2, Talking Heads, Genesis, David Bowie, Robert Fripp, just to mention the most famous. the sound of The Edge's guitar has been found Eno; the sounds you hear in Heroes, one of the most famous songs ever, is by Eno.

I think this album, along with Before and After Science, Another Green World and Here come the warm jets, made history of music.

[bartleby2007]

Dude, without Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno and Carter Allen of WBCN in Boston, U2 would be nothing.

[jiddu1970]

of course, Bartleby; but remember that (how Phil Collins was used to say about Peter Gabriel) you always need someone who goes out there to shake the ass.

[WKaliber1]

why so little views? this is approximately 1000x times better than the shit thats on the radio now

[astroman287]

when eno puts his name to it,in most cases it will turn out fine.see also co producing of the latest coldplay album.

[tokihirokitamura]

最高!！

[johnietoth]

thanks love ENO!

[diso2006]

This is one of the best Eno's album. Good choice. Ciao Perry

[chrispycritter2]

I LOVE ALL OF ENOS WORK! CLASSICS! THX!

[tmcfulton]

Nice.

[s0ckRAMAJIMA]

Thx! I'm waitng it.

[masameus]

I like Eno's music, it is so strange emotionally. It seems funny and serious, and happy and melancholy at the same time.

[porkified]

Thanks for posting an old friend. I have this recording but my record player is in storage.

A classic indeed.

[pianohbc]
