BRIAN ENO
"TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN BY STRATEGY" LP
POLYDOR (23MM 0123)
HIGH QUALITY JAPANESE REISSUE
LIMITED EDITION PRESSING
WITH LYRIC INSERT & OBI
CONDITION: New but not sealed. Mint. Unplayed. You'll be the first to enjoy this.
Continuing the twisted pop explorations of “Here Come the Warm Jets”, Eno's sophomore album, “Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)”, is more subdued and cerebral, and a bit darker when he does cut loose, but it's no less thrilling once the music reveals itself. It's a loose concept album -- often inscrutable, but still playful -- about espionage, the Chinese Communist revolution, and dream associations, with the more stream-of-consciousness lyrics beginning to resemble the sorts of random connections made in dream states. Eno's richly layered arrangements juxtapose very different treated sounds, yet they blend and flow together perfectly.
